I had a Resolute Technique LA Duelist before 1.1.0., but I am not quite sure the RT part works out all that well, especially now with 1.1.0., and am considering switching to crits.

Alternatively I've been thinking of going Burning Arrow for a change, but it's a long shot: Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQABH4OPBJpFCAUcRXwFxwXHRiRGYUabBrbIWAj9iSqJbwotSmlKjgshTGeMgkyfjWSNsU22DboNuk6UjpYPs9AoEp9SshN404qUEdRR1XGVgRW-livWfNaGlpIW69hUmaeZ6Bqk2xGbqpxeXJscql08XgNfNmGYIcZh3aIG4jxjX2Nfo9GkFWbLZ2unrmfy6ZXpwinMKluqn-quKyqr4218rZBt7a95r6nwA_AGs2Yz2XQ0NJN1e3YJN0N3sbfv-Nq6hjqYu4O707vhe_w8933Mvjr-WP60vzF_o8=	Posted by Brazilski#3092 on Mar 9, 2014, 12:36:30 PM Quote this Post

Id be willing to help almost 60 in ambush ladder with this build like it so far feels like my old BM LA aura ranger. Just less health but thats mainly a gear issue. I like orbs	Posted by abandonctrl#1259 on Mar 10, 2014, 4:00:14 PM Quote this Post

Sustaining life is much easier than sustaining mana, and mana leech is generally limited (it works with a lag of some time until mana fills up + you won't have too much mana with this build just from leveling and without much int). You need rather high dps to make mana leech work, and some people argue that it is simply not a good option in case of a ranger LA build (pure phys builds are a different story). Wait, you mean the Blood Magic keystone, or just the skillgem?	Posted by Brazilski#3092 on Mar 11, 2014, 10:22:26 AM Quote this Post
Can you update your leveling build? Where should the build head around level 60? Do I go towards berserking? What's next, do I get crit nodes on the south or go north?	Posted by woodyfly#3854 on Mar 11, 2014, 1:29:20 PM Banned Quote this Post

" Dan1986 wrote: Why no Iron Reflexes? The reason is that the new build uses Ondars Guile which makes you VERY HARD to get hit by any projectiles - awesome node. In addition, you can use armour as well. There are 3 hybrid nodes taken, which boost armour and evasion at the same time. If you got like 3k base armour + high evasion, that's from my experience enough armour if you get hit and overall safer vs burst dmg. In the end, it's still a matter of preference though. I'm just curious here. Looking at the build, Iron Reflexes is just 3 points away. With how popular it is and how much it seems was spent to get all the hybrid evasion/armor nodes for defenses, do you think it's superior to go the hybrid nodes route instead of just taking Iron Reflexes and being able to have more flexibility with the points not having to climb to the hybrid nodes?
