[2.0.0] maxBo's SplitArrow/Frenzy Guide (new lvl77 Shrine Vid, HC Viable))

Do you recommend the non-crit build now over the old crit build? Do you think CoC was nerfed too hard to make taking all the crit points in the tree worthwhile?

personnaly im doing the non crit build atm using tornado shot for aoe and im going to do a 6 link puncture for single target bleed.tornado shot is already pretty damn good even for single target and addind a bleed to that will make single target dmg really hight.puncture also scale from phy dmg so 472% phy dmg will be perfect for that.

My philosophy was always to give you skilltree you can Experiment with. I did the non-crit Build Cause i Wanted to. If its better or Not i cant say.... I am a Bit bussy i will answer questions tonight

UPDATED the GUIDES.

Nah, Crit is still very very good. Maybe even better in DMG than non Crit! I just wanted to make a new Build cause I was bored from Crit-CoC+EK. Leaving the bandwagon you know :D :D

Newb here, first time to seriously use bow character.

So where's the Leveleing Guide again? (pre 1.2 or 1.2)
What skills can be used when I use the crit build?

Is barrage+crit good? On par with other skills?

The gem setup is Pretty much the Same as in 1.1.5

Oops, sorry it's in a spoiler tag - OLD 1.1.5 Build

I see Frenzy and CoC + EK there.
Ain't that CoC + EK lag often?

Also, can I use Barrage instead of Frenzy? Or that's another build?

Short answer: YES YOU CAN! ;P

For a beginner which of the builds would you recommend (crit/no crit)?

also whats easier to use acrobatics or iron reflexes? ( in terms of cost/ accessibility)

Costs: Non-Crit is cheaper!
Accessibility: Both the same…in terms of Costs its easier to acces non crit equip

Acrobatics or ironreflexs: This Topic is often discussed throughout the forum. Cant realy answer that. Choose what you prefer. I personaly Like the Spelldodge from Acrobatics!

Yeah but the build is not optimized for LA! ... Use LA + LMP + xxxxxxxx ... not chain!

With the non Crit build its kinda hard to oneshot yourself!

with crit build mhhhhhh with a mirrored harbinger maybe :D

if im doing non crit with tornado shot and puncture its better tu use vulnerability instead of proj weakness i guess since im using a hight phy dmg and bleed from puncture?

also what 6 link puncture would you suggest?i never really used that skill before so not sure it scale with wich support gems

FIRST TESTINGS DONE

lvl90 Ranger: Non-Crit Build! Frenzy 19k dps and Puncture 15k
Feels much weaker than Crit Build! Tested on some 70+ maps.
Every map <72 you oneshoot everything

above 72 you need some shots....

Feeling like kinda switch back to Crit build .... (costings about 20 regrets)

Yeah i just adjusted all of the trees......seems like Critical strike is the way to go!
