[1.2.0] Omjak’s guide: Maximizing Dps - MAJOR UPDATE 3. REFINED TREES:NEW PERMA FREEZE TOTEM VARIANT

good to hear lol

more information added

I have crafted a bow like 2 days ago:



I liked your guide so I'm trying it out now :)

Thanks

due to the fact that I will not get a 6linked item I will try this gem setup, because I dont want to miss the Powercharge mechanic:

5l Frenzy + added fire damage + faster attacks + crit damage + powercharge on crit
5l LA + gmp + Pierce (q20) +Life On Hit + bloodmagic
4l IS + ranged Totem + GMP + Elemental Proliferation

A quality Powercharge on crit would be awesome, but to expensive for me right now.
Has someone tried this so far?

Generally, i have found it harder to maintain charges with PCoC on singular abilities. Although it is doable, u will need a high crit chance+critical weakness and a diamond flask to make initialy getting charges easier.

My only beef with diamond flasks is their insane charge requirement to use them, so you can't use them very often.

shameless bump lol

let me be the first to say that you dont know me. I love the build man but i have one mega issue with it, its like you expect us to know how to build our champs before we get very high levels, i have no ideas what skills to use what get to get pre-high levels to get me going! it would help a ton if you could add that.

lol i will be adding a section about that later on, for now just wing it xD. I give enough info that should help you figure things out for yourself for now. This is a general build that can be used as a base, A leveling guide will come after i take all the finals for my courses and get some free time.

Instead of getting the dexterity node and 3 life nodes above Heavy Draw, how do you feel about allocating those 4 points into the health nodes near Shadow start and Mental Acuity?

Thanks for the great build and in-depth description. I was struggling with low DPS on my Ranger lately and could not decide how to improve it significantly. After reading your guide, I sank my remaining 20 skill points into Crit enhancing nodes, changed my skill links a bit and retired my Burning Arrow skill (at least for now).

The result is that I tripled my DPS on paper and now I can clear maps way faster then before. And the fun I'm having!

The only thing holding me back now is my gear - I seriously lack in resists and I have not updated some of the items I am wearing since Cruel difficulty.

I have a couple of questions though:

- wouldn't it be better to use a decent Harbringer bow instead of Lioneye's? It would add up to 50% to your base crit chance, bringing your overall crit over 50% (based on the screenshots you posted - mine is still far behind).

- I noticed you're using mixed Evasion / Armor gear and I wonder if you could post a screen of your defense stats. I am using pure Eva gear and so far I am doing fine (50+% eva + 40% dodge = rarely get hit). However I suffer from big hits, so I wonder what would my DR / EVA look with mixed armor / evasion and how much would it mitigate such big hits (I still need to try the Enduring Cry + Immortal Call combo you mentioned)

- any particular reason why you're using Blood Magic with LA? I am currently using LA+LMP+Pierce+Power on Crit and with my 2% mana leech node, I can fire nonstop as long as I hit something (I guess GMP + Life on Hit multipliers will probably make it unsustainable, but Mana Leech gem would ofset that as well)


For the reference, this is my skill tree - I am open to suggestions / critique :)
