[1.0.6] Lunys' LA / Frenzy High End Crit Ranger GUIDE (in-depth analysis) 3 VIDEOS

Successfully finished the double reflect shipyard map.

I ran into one nasty situation, in which i would have normally went to town in order to refill my hp. But for the sake of the video i just continued the map.
And in the end it was much easier than i thought. ^^

So the next time i see a post telling me my build can't handle reflect, i'm just going strangle myself with my own bare hands ;)

Video is uploading right now.

Hey, I was following another LA ranger guide until I found this one. Since this had blood magic and I was running into SEVERE mana issues I thought why not follow this one instead? Looks cool! But now I have to spend a ton of regrets respeccing and my LA dps is only 482.6

Massive issue considering I'm level 68.

Can you point out where I'm going wrong?

ah ye now I understand, thanks.)

Is it sufficient to use just Heart of Oak instead IR? I remember Blast mentioned this in his guide that he rather took IR but I can assume this is due to him beeing rly high lvl where even the slightest chance that you die due to chain stun from rhoas/guards would be fatal and would costs 50ex orso and many hours of playtime..


Im level 95 and I have 7 deaths to date. 1 was due to getting insta gibbed by dual piet -max lightning storm which IR would not have really helped, but none were due to getting chain stun locked or reflect. I think most of the remaining were due to bosses most people skipped.

I think there is a certain play style that suits eva over armor but both are viable and imo as ranged, the most dangerous things are going to be projectiles coming from porkies, birdman, tentacle shooters, acad boss, split arrow archers on vulnerability or gmp maps.


thx for the info, much appreciated

still trying to decide whether to go ES or life based though, I found some CI ES crit LA guides but theyre all outdated:(

a friend of mine though (ES crit LA shadow using mirrored bow, 30k LA, 80 k frenzy) is switching to voltaxic and he said he had troubles with some bosses so Life based might be better after all...absolutely unsure about that though

Get a decent rare Harbinger bow with 8% or more basecrit (dps doesn't have to be more than 280)and maligaros unique gloves until you can afford thunderfists later.

Should be 2 affordable and nice upgrades!

A big upgrade would also be a quiver with crit multiplier.

Last but not least, you got a lot of nodes to respec ... assuming that you want to eventually play my build.

I've switched over to this build from Blastrophe's Voltaxic LA build, and this build is a lot better, imo.
Im using the same gear with a different bow, and my LA DPS as well as frenzy DPS tripled.
Maps are STUPID easy and I just destroy everything in a few hits.

I had my doubts about the build at first, but it works great. Reflect isn't that bad because of the vaal pact and this build really does work well.

Definitely recommend this build to those who can afford it.

Thanks it's always nice to hear that someone else enjoys my build as much as i do!


I uploaded the requested solo video.

It's a lvl 77 shipyard map with DOUBLE REFLECT and i even ecounter tripple reflect when progressing throug the map.
It got a little rough once (around 5:30) but only because i played pretty reckless and bad.
Anyway, worked out perfectly fine in the end.

I used blackgleam as a quiver, for this double reflect map. Suprisingly this actually meant a slight dps increase. This has 2 reasons, my normal quiver is only decent not perfect and the synergy between the weapon elemental damage gem and blackgleam is just crazy!

You really think a 33k LA dps is better than a 68k split arrow just because you apply shockstacks?

My build is better than yours in every single way and you can not disprove it, no matter how upset it makes you feel.

You don't even use crit multi gem because you know if you did you would rip.

You are forced to use life leech gem to get leech, I get it for free from blood rage.

I have more armor, EHP and dps than you. I am more stable than you. Explain how your build is in any way better?

You say my ES will fluctuate in that map, but split arrow is mostly phys dps meaning I can have 0 elemental resists and still wouldn't fluctuate the way you did HAHA,

Prove it.

Unlike you i made a guide explaining every single aspect of my build and by now i recorded 3 videos to show that it works.

Not going to comment on the rest of this ... "stuff". I don't want another argument to escalate in this thread.

Why are people so hostile and trying to prove their builds are better than Luny's? If your builds are so great, go and share them on the forums and let the community decide instead of trolling

I don't mean to be a troll or an asshole or anything, it just hurts to see the best bow in the game being used in such a terrible manner, like this build doesn't come close to using it to it's best potential.

Btw, here's my dps self buffed
