Does anyone else have opinions/math on the mana regen nodes? They seem like they'd be really beneficial, but Isildox doesn't agree.

I dont like regen nodes because mana leech gets the job done better. If you run auras you usually will have a small pool of mana to work with and it gets leeched back so quick. Ther best combo I think is on phys ranger, get the 2% mana leech node above the shadow crit assassination cluster, and pair that with mana leech gem. that alone is good, toss in some leech from gear and you dont need regen nodes at all.

Hmm, that's a good idea.

The one thing that upset me about the new passive tree change was that mana regen was moved so much further away. Now I'm having to take the 3 20% nodes instead of moving into Duelist area just yet.

However, if I can get good mana leech otherwise, I very well might respec those regen points. Right now I feel I need them, even though I can still use normal arrows a lot of the time. I don't have any leech available, so maybe that's a later game option. Also, Mind Drinker isn't anywhere near my tree path, so I'll have to go without it.

Thanks for the input, man. :)

One of the foremost necessary things girls will do to safeguard themselves Associate in Nursingd their kids is to go to an Ob-Gyn either before turning into pregnant or as before long as physiological state is suspected. most girls might not notice the importance of visiting a doctor ahead of time in their physiological state, however seeing a certified Ob-Gyn will have a long positive impact on maternal and foetal health.

There are a bunch of good life nodes right on your path there. 3 on the other side of the Fitness circle just left of Alchemist, and 3 above/left of IR, one of which is an 18% node. Just below/left of ranger start is another group of 4. HP stacking is considered the strongest defense in this game.

Is there a reason you don't want Piercing Shots? Probably so, since you're right there but didn't take it. I'm not sure myself how it synergizes with my skills (PA and whether it's good with Split/Fork or better without).

Also, the way your path is going, you're placing a lot of emphasis on critical strike/multiplier, and you have one of the frenzy nodes, so I assume you're using frenzy tactics. Why not get the second additional frenzy node right above Acrobatics?

But after you get those HP nodes. :)

I'm not a frenzier myself, but it works great for others.

Beyond that, I'm not sure. There are some good projectile damage nodes just inside the Duelist area.

So about that Piercing Shots ...

I've got Poison Arrow with LMP, Pierce, and Faster Projectiles (I know, a weak support; I'll be changing it out as soon as I can).

Would Piercing Shots be worth heading over for? It would make the arrows pierce most of the time, and that seems *very* appealing as large groups are a bit of a problem right now. But TEN points out for that? I mean, I'm stretching out west, so if it's really worth the stretch then it is.

But is it?

Also, is pierce desirable for split arrow/fork? Would it be better for the projectiles to pierce and *then* fork? Or better just for them to fork and fire another shot, while placing those ten points elsewhere?

I know I'm gonna need some leech on my skills, and possibly blood magic, at least as a support for one of my attacks. Maybe Split/Fork/BM/Life Leech (or gain on hit??) would be a good combo?
Or no BM and mana leech instead of life?

I use Poison when I need the heavy hit and gas cloud, Split to thin out large groups and to fire into the void, and just normal arrows for picking off individuals. I don't want to be dependent on lightning, so its room-clearing ability therefore has to be obtained in other ways.
