Saint Vitus: Physical crit ranger guide[Always Updated]
|
After 5 or 6 different rangers, I've decided to try ROA for my first character in Anarchy. I've followed your guide, thanks a lot for it. Lvl 53 right now, farming Merci ledge. Working fine even if I'm really squishy.
I'm using ROA + Faster Proj + Culling Strike + Added Fire + Inc Crit Damage (I've been lucky finding 1 5l Eva/Armor Chest). I am kind of bored of skelly bros totem on all my chars (I'm playing solo only) so I've decided to try a ranged attack totem for the first time (I would have tried Ice Spear Totem I think if I had a spell totem, I'll try it later). I've tried LMP Burning Arrow, LMP Explosive Arrow, and right now LMP Ice Shot that I like the most, I'm gonna keep using it for some time. I've also found Wurm's molt very early that is quite useful for LL and ML. I've just found an added chaos damage and I usually like it a lot on some of my builds, and I was thinking of trying it on ROA. But I guess some of you have already tried it so can someone tell me why added fire is better? Last edited by Grahf23#1727 on Jun 11, 2013, 4:06:40 PM

" Glad to hear its working out! RaT works well with poison arrow too especially if you solo, its a really nice debuff to enemies since its quite a large area and with vulnerability curse which increases your physical damage, it also increases the damage over time of poison arrow by a lot! Addded fire damage is very good with this build because its based on physical damage, which you do a nice amount of, where chaos damage is just a flat amount. " 18% physical damage is very good obviously, and the 7th frnezy charge is also worth it because you increase your damage with your single target by a really nice amount with it, you get 4% increased evasion and 5% increased attack and cast speed, no other 1 node can do that much.

Thanks for your answer!
I'm kinda confused about RaT with Poison Arrow, because that's the first thing I tried and it did not work. Literally, I was shooting the poison arrow myself. Then I made a search on the forum and I found that PA did not work for the moment with RaT cause the less damage modifier does not apply to the degeneration effect of PA, so they've disabled it. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/292448/highlight/page Last edited by Grahf23#1727 on Jun 11, 2013, 5:47:48 PM

" awwww :( well then, i guess ice shots until its fixed, with LMP you should freeze enemies nicely :) I carve and sell real animal skulls, check out my work here: https://www.instagram.com/victorseiche/

Yeah, after a few hours with ice shot I really like it. The slow effect is nice and the knockback effect too. Besides that I really like the "shotgun" effect it has, both its visual and sound effects are good.
I guess it's not as useful as skelly bros, but I really want some change and it works quite well too. Ho and I almost forgot to say that I'm really enjoying this build, it seemed obvious to me. On my way to Fellshrine. Last edited by Grahf23#1727 on Jun 11, 2013, 7:43:36 PM

Can you compare ur pure phys dps with when u switch in grace+anger+blackgleam+hatred and use a wed gem on frenzy/roa/sa? Would be interested in it since im plannin a similar build and dont know if its worth it to aim for pure phys if converted dmg is pretty easy to reach and weg gems scale incredible.

Hey,
At first, great work with all that builds and tutorials. I was following your build so far, and I really like it. So with the new patch out, will it still work that good? Has anyone found any major differences? Should I get less health nodes now? |

" Always grab health nodes when you can unless you need to reach a certain set of passives/notables. Armor has been made infinitesimally effective while monster damage and life nodes have been reduced on an 1:1 basis. In short, nothing changed from prior patch .11.

Can I ask what are the actual dps figures you can get with physical crit RoA?
