[2.0.0] maxBo's SplitArrow/Frenzy Guide (new lvl77 Shrine Vid, HC Viable))
|
Hi Together,
here are my Guides for all the physical Rangers out there! They are very flexible and one of the top-visited guides at the Ranger Section! Keep Questions in this thread and enjoy it! Overall I think, Neversinks TornadoShot Guid & Thread does a very good job. Just want to go on here and share my ideas of the skill tree because sometimes I have another understanding of the "perfect" skilltree ;) Small Video...will make more! NEW VIDEO lvl77 SHRINE MAP
2.0.0 Build - THE AWAKENING
- Normaly I made a Crit & Non-Crit Version of the Build but with 2.0.0 I see Non-Crit in an even worse standing. So this Build will skill into some CritNodes. - Doesnt realy diverse from Neversinks Build. I experimented with several Chars and made some theorycrafting. I find the following Pathing the best one. - We use SplitArrow+Chain / Frenzy because they retrived a huge buff - The Following Build has about 180% Life + Serveral LifeLeech Nodes for better Life sustain - ManaLeech via 3 Nodes at the east of the tree, so far this is enough and works well - I have no alternative for the legacy CWDT-Setup - I dont know if you should skill in the new "Arrow Dancing", more Testing needs to be done - We still go with Acrobatics! - The Core Gem Setup SplitArrow + Chain + Added Fire + WeaponElementalDamage + Physical DMG + FasterAttacks/Physical to Lightning Frenzy + Physical DMG + AddedFire + WeapomElementalDamage + Physical to Lightning + FasterAttacks - Overall with those Gemsetups (6L - Tabula Rassa) Charges Up and with a cheap Lioneyes Glare i have 70k Frenzy and 25k SplitArrow - More than 50k Life and over 40% Chance to evade + Acrobatics - Use fire Golem for more DMG - Use Blink arrow for mobility - you CWDT + Increased Duration + Immortal Call everything lvl1...it helps a little bit :D - I didnt spec into jewels because you need damn good ones to be better than 2 skillspoints The new AWAKENING Ranger SKILLTREE

I love it! :)
Any special reason why you go for iron reflexes and not evasion style? I mean sure you get 1 extra frenzy charge, but acrobatics and ondars guile would free up so freakin many points :) (you ofc not use Lioneyes then). My guess would be you feel chain + Iron reflexes makes phys reflect easier to deal with, in combination with CWDT. Also if you go for influence + charisma you will have 30% of your total mana pool ready for use :) Wouldn't that be somewhat superior to the increased max mana pool (provided you have enough leech of course) :)

something along these lines (extra projectile nodes for extra EK dmg) Also added fire dmg and hatred boosts both fire dmg and EK dmg :) Last edited by Frankenberry#0590 on Feb 8, 2014, 11:07:15 PM

Hey Bro thanks for the feedback....
First of all, with this build you can experiment a lot. I used Regret orbs worth about 5ex to come to this build. It was a normal Physical Split Arrow Build. You can easly take out the CoC and EK and put other Gems in so you are only a typical Crit/SA Ranger. Or you use LA...it works too ;) 1. Your Skilltree has 60% lesser Life-%-increase ....thats a HUGE load! That would be 1500-2000 Life on my Character :D :D 2. I just Like Iron Reflexes. Chain + Armor = I feel safe :D . You can sure try to spec into Evasion...try it, but ofc you cant use LG than. This would suck for me cause you need than Accuracy Stat(! :) 3. Aura Nodes: Thats exactly what i experimented with! (the many regret orbs ;D) You need about 8 Points to spec into influence + charisma and what comes out? You cant barely sustain mana with 2 Auras. You also would need Alphas howl where you have no +Life suffix! (even more more lifedecrease). You get hatred...ok....more dps...but this aura has everyone turned on in partys :D :D . If you play solo believe me, you will have enough DPS for clrearing the map efficent. Thats why I grab the +Mana/+Life nodes and not the "ManaGeyser" next to "charisma" they are extremly strong. Outcome +24% Mana, + 18% Life, +20 INT in 5 Points...you can run only 1 Aura but you are able to sustain mana :) 4. Ofc instead of Faster Attacks you can add "Adde fire dmg gem".....as you wish!! But i like the attackspeed..it feels SO MUCH smoother, believe me :D 5. I also speced ones into the +8% Projectiles nodes....you can do so if you have Points left. Greeeeze Max Ingame: maxboo

I did dominus as well on lvl78 map....but i had to switch some gear (lifeleech on gear, lifeleech gem for frenzy and Lifeo n hit for split arrow) etc......
But overall you need nice gear mit much life, resis etc....but you need that on any build to master those bosses i gues :D Ingame: maxboo

Hello. I'm using Split Cast-on-Crit EK build too.
But I quickly ran out of mana with standart bows, even using clarity, so I switched to blood magic support at level ~50. Using Scion class as base.

I know this build is strange, but I theorycrafted it myself, this is my first 50+ build. I have 6 unallocated passives at the moment, planning to drop acrobatics and grab Iron Reflexes and some life nodes. Then I'll get 6L chest. My current gear (mostly crap):
Spoiler
Need upgrade for helm; boots and amulet are only for int, since I accidentally leveled up Critical Weakness and cannot use it anymore without decent int gear. Maybe I will scour it in near future. I use Banquet for even more critical chance, currently my crit-meter shows me ~1.8 crits per second with full frenzy charges, assuming power charges changing from 0 to 5 being around 2.5 for purpose of calculation. If I'll pick Harbinger bow with good stats there will be ~2 cps maximum, so I'm not getting it. I rely completely on crits. Running Hatred, also have Grace+Determination on my groupmate. My build clears 66 maps really well, being in party with dominator, shooting behind meat wall. I can destroy packs even without my mate's help. But almost any strike I don't dodge brings me down to 50% hp, I'm true glass cannon. And I can't kill solo mobs. Any tips here?

" Not flaming, I'm just not understanding how you have mana issues when you have leech and good physical damage. I'm running 3 auras without Alpha's Howl and never run out. Since my resists come from auras, I can put other stuff on my gear. " It kind of comes with the territory, IMO. The thing I like most about this game is that it's balanced. So you either have really good offense, defense or a mix. You also mentioned gear upgrades, which I think would address a lot of your issues. If you're already doing enough damage, maybe give some up for better armor, more life and/or energy shield. As for solo mobs: Just because you have SA with CoC doesn't mean you use it all the time for everything. Pick a secondary attack for bosses. I do Puncture with Increased Physical Damage and Crit Multiplier. Most rares/bosses bleed out in 1-2 shots. Last edited by feyith#0081 on Feb 9, 2014, 4:13:14 PM

" I use Quill Rain. And I added a video, I'd appreciate if you'll look through it. Lvl 67, Mecr Docks. Hateful post. Last edited by Kaskar#0665 on Feb 9, 2014, 4:48:02 PM

I think the biggest problem with Quill Rain is you really need enough life and mana on hit to make it work. I don't understand what you mean by this:
" Something I noticed in your video is those single target mobs get too close to you. Just give this a try: grab a Harbinger bow off the ground and craft with it. Even something crummy will make you proc EK the same number of times per second due to the increased crit chance and give you way higher base DPS than your Quill Rain, especially against singles. If you're worried about attack speed, the OP uses a Lioneye's and Frenzy. Last edited by feyith#0081 on Feb 9, 2014, 5:12:10 PM
