Hi,

Like the build, I had been looking for quite some time to build a ranger and I chose yours.

I am in the process of leveling, just level 32 at the moment.

I would not hesitate to give some feedback here some level.

Thanks

It really depends. I agree with you about Mana Geyser but most people take the Bow Attack Speed and Critical Strike Chance nodes below Aspect of the Eagle as a way to connect between Ballistic Mastery and Fervor. You get a lot more bang out of those points than with +10 Dex.

Heart of the Oak is a great cluster to keep from being stunned to death. Primal Spirit is free stat points if you use any high level red or blue gems.

The 3 8% Life nodes next to Pain Attunement are okay. It's more efficient to take hybrid nodes, which is why most people choose to sacrifice that cluster. Life and Mana is only underrated if you have mana issues. Otherwise it's just 6% life and 8% superfluous stats.

That image host has horrible pop-up ads by the way. :\

EVASION/EVADE SKILLTREE

OFC, you cant use Lions Glare Bow here! Keep that in Mind! ;)

Here is a tree with more evasion and using fewer points.


This is my goal. I currently don't have Revenge of the Hunted, Acrobatics or any of the Life nodes yet.

I know you don't like Power Charges and Auras, but just to give people additional ideas and options; my level 75 self-buffed has 61% Evade (it goes up to 70% with Flasks) with Infernal Mantle (pure ES armor) and 94% Critical Strike Chance with a Harbinger Bow that I made myself using only 1 Alchemy. There are a lot of inexpensive and efficient ways to play this build.

Power Charges are Great! i Just choose 50% attack speed over 200& Critical Strike Chance :)

You can do that as you like

for this build you need mana increase! So the hybrid nodes are neccessary! Also we get some Int poins on the way

I also like auras, but dont like to use 7-8 pounts for them... =)

Heart of Oak just suxx! :D :D :D my opinion :D

Your Evason build compared to mine (spend same points)

Yours has 110% less increased bow dmg! (thats alot :O)
You go 50% more Evasion (hoooooraaay xD)
Yours has more than 70% less life increase
Yours has 40% lesser projectile dmg
Yours has 50% less multiplier
Yours has some % less critical strikje chance

"

Yours has 40% lesser projectile dmg
Yours has 50% less multiplier

That's on purpose. I used to have a lot of spell damage and multiplier nodes but the CoC procs do enough damage without it so why overkill yourself on reflects?

"

110% less increased bow dmg! (thats alot :O)
Yours has some % less critical strike chance

That's base though. I'm crit capped with charges, which means more procs. And every party I join, we always have Hatred + Haste + Anger + Wrath. (Most people don't run all, so I am set up to run the missing ones.) This significantly adds to the clear speed of the entire party.

"

You go 50% more Evasion (hoooooraaay xD)
Yours has more than 70% less life increase

Not just Evasion; Evasion, ES, Resistances and Status Ailment Avoidance. And again, I will always have Grace and/or Discipline, which means those seemingly minor bonuses add up to a lot. I'm only 75 and not where I want to be yet, but I already have 3K ES and 61-70% Evade on my own (the variance is depending on how lazy I am about flasks). When I get Acrobatics, I may adjust to more life nodes instead, but for right now that's what's working really well for me.

Not saying one way's better than the other, just giving people more ideas and options.

Edit: I'll go make a different thread instead of hijacking yours. Sorry about the derail. :)

Hi,

I'm level 62 now, and I do not have any problems at the moment.

Only negative poit. Very difficult to find the rings and the amulet with the leech life or mana with an affordable price.

The resists are not yet max, and I'm 3K1 hp.

Really fun to play and I hope soon to find what I still need to enjoy :)

Thanks
