Regnar's dual wield sword ranger build, now with Blood Magic!
I'm interested in how leveling a build like this works. I'm no pro, and all I usually see are passive trees filled out for someone who is like level 50+.
When did you detour off the chosen path? Did you go straight for a passive with no detours? What weapons were you using to level? What skills and when? When did you take Blood Magic? Questions like this would go a long way in keeping me from making a stupid mistake, and I really do want to play around with this since it looks like a lot of fun. |

what gear,pure evasion gear with +hp+resist.1hand sword rapier (the one that have crit multi) with fast atk speed if possible and hight physical dmg to make life leech more effective.try to get life leech ring/amulet.and yes you need reduce mana for your aura.you can still use it without but at hight lvl those aura start to eat good amount of hp (300-400 if you use the 3 aura).also when you will have your blood magic,grab atleast 2 granite flask with +evasion or +armor mods.this will help ALOT to survive and with warlord mark,they refill really really fast so with 2 you can almost use them all the time.
for the lvling,go to iron reflexe and grab most life nods on the way.after just follow the way to blood magic and keep taking life nods on the way.you can get some offencive nods but not to much.blood magic you should be able to grab it when you reach it since you will have some hp regen (1.5% hp regen nods) and try to get some life leech on gear +using warlord mark.with that you have way enought regen/life leech and your skill itself cost almost nothing.after work your way to marauder starting area and still grab life nods on the way.you should reach the second life regen at lvl 60-65 mabey.dont forget to pick both +15% all resist nods when you reach them.when you are done with most +life nods you can start picking offencive nods. that how i did mine and so far its working.im at cruel act3 lvl 52 and i did this build in CB also and reach lvl 63 finished merciless and was able to end-game maps but so far in OB i have way more difficulty then before... that my current build at lvl 52 :

p.s:sry if its a little hard to understand but since english isnt my primary language its a little hard to explain exactly what i did...just follow the way picking most defencive nods and some offencive. Last edited by zakariusqc#1505 on Jan 26, 2013, 4:47:15 AM

" Thanky ou for clearing some of that up. I am also interested in just the normal leveling though. I am only in Act 2 on normal. Did you bother using Auras that early? |
|
for aura you need grace soon as you can.this aura is just insane with iron reflexe.it give LOT more armor/dmg reduction.you will get wrath from quest reward so use it when you get it.at the begening you wont have blood magic so using aura wont be a problem exept using a little more mana flask ^^.anger you can wait at higther lvl.

" Blood Magic can be taken the moment you have enough regen to sustain the cost. In my case, I picked it up closer to 50 after I had gotten both Troll and Golem nodes for regen because my attacks were pushing 3.45 APS. I will suggest that you do not make the mistake of not picking up Iron Reflexes and Unwavering Stance early though. I did it far too late and in retrospect, it would've been wiser to have taken it earlier. |

which is better to use with cleave:
Life on hit or life leech? |

In most cases, life leech.

Is it worth taking blood drinker in passive tree ? (2% life leech)
What is best to take during bandit quests, All Resist or HP? |
