Saint Vitus: Physical crit ranger guide[Always Updated]

So far this has been fun but I wish I followed a better build :(

I have lots of crit and physical damage which was my original intention but its not so good, oh well.

Ive survived to lvl 50 and I found this about 10 lvls ago and I love it :D

Luve, I'm glad you posted. How do you feel this build is working in OB? Surviving well enough? Decent damage?

im only 40 now so i cannot say much about that. i went straight for "leather & steel", "ice bite" and "diamond skin" and used a +ice damage bow with +elemental damage equipment. im using "hatred" aura and "frenzy" for single targets + "ice shot" for multiple.

id say the damage is okay and survival aswell. tho im really glad i took those +run speed notes since im kiting ALOT. my biggest concern is my mana tho and im not so fond with the mechanics behind "ice shot".. most of the times im running around to attempt to gather enemys in a way that the cone like aoe will be effective. its not very satisfying at times

Not sure if you have posted this but what do you recommend for flasks?

Also what kind of amulet and rings do you run?

I'm gonna start using this build it sounds great, Could anyone thats running this build and is at a higher level post a video about this build?

I really like the idea of this build! Is it viable to convert it to Evasion though? I simply took out the 3 points to get Iron Reflexes and put them up in Acrobatics and 2x Acrobatics Improvement.

Also, what do you recommend for Auras? I was considering putting a point into a Savant notable so I can use Purity along with Haste and Grace.

*Edit* Really appreciate you updating the original post!

This might seem like a really bad question but where do I get the actual frenzy gem? I'm a lvl 20 ranger in the normal mode and on act 2(did 2 quests)

News: apparently physical now is just as good as ele.

Ive been finding lots of bows now and i must say, physical damage on rangers looks very promising, especially with the unique bow Lioneyes Glare, its been buffed a lot, it seems i will start this build again after i stack up on some gear and finish up the templar one.

Good luck to you all with this build, it should turn out very well for you all!
(i also updated the build a bit)

Again, any questions you have i will happily answer

Do you use any auras?

Also I used another physical/crit build I found and I haven't liked it too much but I tried to start following yours after a little

That is where I am at now, I am willing to use all my respec points (6) to try to fix it.

Any way I could salvage this into a better build? I feel like I am doing alright damage but my crit chance isn't great and I'm fairly "glassy".
