oh ok then. thanks for the reply. i better go buy mana leech and reduced mana gems then :D

You most definitely need RM for your auras. The two you should run are Hatred and Grace. I also keep Purity socketed for those occasions that call for extra (overcapped max) resistances. This is good as it gives you more options. Sometimes I deactivate Grace for Purity or deactivate Hatred for Purity.

The Charisma notable is especially strong in this regard, giving you enough mana to cast your main attacks (plus the 2% mana leech from Mind Drinker notable) and various other skills.

Also, getting a form of Quality ML gem is recommended before getting a quality Frenzy.

I used the crit/evade ranger build here as a general guide for my MF character before release. Now with heavy nerfs that sporkers got, this might be more important then ever.

Do you think this is still viable as a MF build, with some obvious changes to gear?

Hey Isildox just pointing out on page 30 on your build intro you have this:

Bandit quest rewards: (O/O/K)
Normal - Kill Oak for +40 life
Cruel - Kill Oak for +18% IPD
Merciless - Kill Kraityn for +1 Frenzy charge

I assume you meant help there.
Doubt anyone doesn't get it just saying.

@Nateedubs: you'll probably be stretched thin, but if you can get resistances on your quiver and use a regular glove, you can stack MF that way.


@Bisshop: HERPDERP! I totally missed that, thanks for catching my mistake. It can be confusing for completely new players, so good thing you caught that.

It's hard to get crit bow :(

Yea, it's hard to get a good crit/physical bow, but it's worth it.

Also, I recommend slow bows for higher DPH/mana-management than faster bows.

edited to keep the thread clean

@Upforsale: Nice bow, but please don't post sale offers in this thread. This is ultimately a build thread and I like to keep it that way.

Could I get a critique on my build?
