Regnar's dual wield sword ranger build, now with Blood Magic!

Wouldn't sacrificing some base dmg for crit be a good idea for this build?

For example this build.

Here are the differences between Ceto's build and my crit variation.

Ceto's build:-----------------------My crit variation:

Con's---------------------------Pro's

Evasion = 0 (-40%)-------------Evasion = 40% (+40%)

Crit chance = 0 (-30%)---------Crit chance = 30% (+30%)

Crit multiplier = 0%-------------Crit multiplier = 40% (+40)


Pro's----------------------------Con's

Attack speed = 11% (+7%)-----Attack Speed = 4% (-7%)

Accuracy = 22% (+22%)--------Accuracy = 0 (-22%)

Phys melee dmg = 70 (+37%)---Phys melee dmg = 33% (-37%)

Dex = 30 (+10)-----------------Dex = 20 (-10)

These listed stats are only the differentiating gains and losses from comparing Ceto's passive skill build and my crit revision of said build. There is room to favor Accuracy and/or Attack speed over dmg in this build. Wasn't sure which would be the most beneficial late game so went with dmg. Read earlier Accuracy was needed, its possible to get more accuracy than Ceto's build with this crit revision with a major hit to phys melee dmg. Also the same is do-able with attack speed (modifying it further than the original Creto build for a heavy phys melee dmg loss) which wouldn't shock me if it turned out to be the winning min/maxer with crit.


Really curious to hear any decent theory crafters thoughts on how this compares for end game grinding (don't care to much about the leveling aspect).

Seams to me this would scale with gear more so than base dmg (esp with crit multiplier %).

I'm new and don't know when stats hit soft / hard cap. Assuming it's fairly safe to grab all these crit modifiers without hitting said caps but not certain. Especially since the biggest modifier added in my build is multiplicative instead of additive.

Also seams like you'd get alot more survivability with the 40% more evasion been converted into armor. Unless you're already hitting soft/hard cap and it's just useless fluff?

Anyways respond! At the very least give me soft caps/ hard caps and average stats pool for a decently geared end game ranger ((with this build) for all the listed stats)) and i'll do the math myself and re-post findings!

excellent build.

at which level do you have your gems up ?

thanks

hey ceto i would have few question for you.

1)since they remouved diamong flask,should we still use dragonbone rapier (give crit dmg) or we should mouve to accuracy sword(corsair seem the best)?also how was you managing your chance to hit?im currently at like 72% at lvl 72,wont it be bad to have it that low?so far i didnt saw my skill miss that much or even at all but im still a little scared to see my chance to hit lower each lvl lol.

2)i am currently 3 point away from you current build and i was wondering what next?i was thinking about taking all the dual weild block like dervish etc and with 13 pts i can reach 40% chance to block with some extra dmg in the way,1 more frenzy charge that will put me a 5 charge.having 40% block will probably be a fucking hudge boost to survive and with the new mobs from act3,higther map etc im sure it wont be bad to have lol.after i might pick some hp nods and the 1% life regen(regen might be enought so not sure).overall i feel its would probably be the best to get.what you think?

would look like that
lvl 88


lvl 93


or this at 93 without the regen


il stop there since i probably wont reach that lol,well not yet but lvl 88 should be able to reach.

what you think?thanks in advance.love your build between ^^ exactly like what i wanted to play :)

For whatever reason, I cant see your gear, what gear are you running?

Eldir i cant see that either =/

Your Gear isn't posting/ Skill gems could you please tell:)

can you stop posting those question again and again and again.read the thread a little.it have been said several time few page back.with the CB wipe all the items have also been wipe so all the gear linked on the forum have been deleted.ceto said he will update it when he can but for now he is pretty busy in RL.just read the post a little and you will get all your answer.

gotcha, sorry if I didnt want to go through 19 pages with no promise of actually finding the answer. Sometimes asking is better.

resolute technique is right around the corner, yes it would steal some of the burst of the build but we haven't spent any points in crit (and an essentially negligable amount in accuracy) so this wouldn't hurt the build much at all and would eliminate hit issues all together. Also reflect would become an issue of the past.

well so far with my 4-5k dmg reflect isnt a problem.my life leech give me more then what it reflect me.its true that RT would solve the accuracy problem but i still crit time to time and since i have insane atk speed it still crit often.i will probably try it and if they put back diamond flask i will just remouve it i guess.it just sux that i cant crit anymore :(


p.s:sorry to be rude eldir its that it have been asked like 5 time+ in the past 3-4 page and i keep saying over and over about the gear not working or the skill gems to use...and between just a little tips like that,if you are very interested about a build its always better to read the whole thread,or a good part of it,like that you see is the build work fine with the comment of other,it the build is up to date,tips for lvling,answer to probably lot of your question.before doing something its always good to be informed.im not saying that only for you but for anyone reading this.
