[1.2.x] Oos' Crit Dagger Capped Block Ranger (Reave / Flicker / Double Strike) Acrobatics or IR

Hey man. Awesome build, love it a lot! I have some questions,

1) In PVP, do you have a solution against BoR+The Anvil builds? Can't seem to cut through them at all, I'd get crushed everytime lol.

2) I'm lvl 83 now, but I went to take Adder's Touch instead of block nodes, block chance with tempest shield is now 58%, do you think I should respec out of Adder's Touch and grab the block nodes to obtain 70% block chance? Or should I just carry on, slowly leveling and grab the block nodes every level?

Thanks in advance!

thx for the build, recently I re-speced from a crit-SA+frenzy bow ranger with acrobatics to using dagger + shield combo. Stumbled to this thread, and I like your build quite a lot so I am going to re-spec from previous build, since I believe a variation of your build will give me more bang for the buck

after comparison I found I will have 30 (94->123) more str (I need it for red gems), 26% (132 ->158%) more phys dmg, 34% more life (208->242%), 5% more attack speed (37->42%), 100% more crit chance (190->290%). I would be loosing 48% (170->122) of evasion, 1 power charge and ondars keystone.

Furthermore I can develop in to 4x2% block nodes in the next 4 levels, which should compensate the loss of evasion.

I am now at 59% chance to evade, 40% chance to dodge and 52% chance to block (with tempest)

so I have a 0,39*0,6*0,48 = 0,112% chance to be hit

I assume I will have at least 50% chance to evade after respecing, and after getting the block nodes it should look like this

0,5*0,6*0,4 = 0,12% chance to be hit (very minor)

Currently I am not running the Crest, since I like my shield


I think it gives me at least 10% more chance to evade compared to crest, so that compensates the 10% less block.

Nice build and thx.

1) Make sure you're high block vs these guys. I'm guessing you're having most trouble vs killing yourself on Tempest shield? Block vs block builds can be rng sometimes, but if you have higher damage you usually come out on top. In the fight, I only use flicker vs tempest shield/block guys, you hit few times but hit very hard, if you pierce through their defense and land a hit, you'll do a lot of damage. Just Flicker then run off, flicker again after cooldown, repeat.

My PvP Flicker setup is:
Flicker, Multistrike, Crit DMG, Melee Phys.
Sometimes I put it in my 6L with Added Accuracy and Fire Damage too.

2) If you feel like your PvE defense is fine, then go for Adders Touch. Block over powered though, so it's up to you.

VERY nice shield, that's the kind of shield I'd recommend if you were to drop Crest. I like your take on thee build, looks very solid and I wouldn't change much. I think you should respec some points and grab Nightstalker cluster; the crit chance that provides is amazing.
You should drop Heartseeker and Primal Spirit for it I think. Crit damage can be easily acquired on gear, and you don't need mana regen with Mind Drinker node.

Also, Aspect of the Panther is stronger than Fencing, but costs and extra point, so it;s up to you.

I'd aim for something like this

Stabbing Comeback is also a cluster to consider, with physical dagger damage and life, it;s hard to ignore, but so many peoples are needed for this build x)

Good luck.

Thinking about going acrobatics, but would bosses etc one-shot me? Currently at 3,5k life.

And physical reflect, wouldnt that hurt more since i wouldnt have that much armor, or can you evade that? =)

You can evade reflect yea. In high maps I found my low armour was IR wasn't worth it so I swapped to Acrobatics and felt safer. In high maps the physical bosses with crush your armour anyway unless you have like 8-12k+. You should get more HP first, at least 1,000 more, then swap to Acrobatics if you want.

Yeah I don't really play this character much anymore, busy playing random builds on Nemesis. When they start up PvP tournaments I'll probably stream them (and possibly make highlight videos).

Thanks for your input,
I will certainly experiment in trading Heartseeker for Nightstalker. Preliminary calculation implies dps would benefit from it.

current chance chance: 78%
current crit multy: 880%

after dropping Heartseeker for Nightstalker
crit chance: 90%
crit multy: 810%

current dps factoring of crit:

0,78 * 8,8 + 0,22 * 1 = 7,084

after respec:

0,9 * 8,1 + 0,1 * 1 = 7,39 (4,3% increase not counting the whooping 40% more phys dmg with daggers the Nightstalker provides, I assume it will be 10% + dps increase in total after factoring that in). Thanks for advice.

Atm I can not drop Primal Spirit, because of the 20 int it provides, atm I can not get that from gear and I need it to be able to wear my dagger. With the 20 int I grab going to Nightstalker I am still shot some 10 pts. But I might do it after I acquire more int from gear.

I will probably go for Aspect of the Panther, since I can drop the frenzy charge (don't use it anyway) and save a point arranging like this .

Anyway, thanks a lot for input

Sweet, thanks :)

respeced to this

since I could not take out pimal spirit I took 3x8% life, nodes which I will add in next 3 levels. Overall dps increased by 20%. Quite satisfied with your advice. Thanks!

I have some question about mana.

The rate of mana gained from mana leech is 12.5% of maximum mana per second.(from POE wiki)


but the attack time of reave is 0.14sec Your max mana is about 480.

how did you solve the consumption of mana ?
