[1.3] Sidra's Necromancing Ranger of Chaos (Poison Arrow) Videos/Atziri capable
|
I purchased a +2/+1 Bow on Rampage for 2ex, and then linked it myself. That should be within most players price range, and should be priority #1.
Should that be unaffordable, either a +2 Bow gems or +1 all gems - it doesn't matter too much which, although +2 Bow skills is probably better since it saves you the gem slot versus using +1 to all and an empower. Drillneck should be last priority - it's a luxury item for the build. It helps DPS a lot, but if you purchase one before you have a +2/+1 Bow and Empower, linked to at least 5, you will be worse off than if you got the bow and empower and linked for much less.

" Answering this question here instead of my physcrit build where it was posted. To be honest, I don't have any experience with Explosive Arrow - so my answer is based on theory instead of actual game experience. Generally, my Zombies kill totems. It's really the Enemies Cannot die totems jam packed in the middle of a bunch of mobs so it's hard to get Zombies to target it that are the real issue. I would be worried about my ability to get Explosive Arrow to it or a mob close enough. The other thing that's always turned me off a bit is accuracy - the build doesn't really have any and the Explosive Arrows have to land - more than one I'd assume to kill the totem. The fire traps work - I throw three traps and the totem dies(sometimes on less than 3 but I just toss 3 to ensure 1 ignite). Since they serve their purpose so well I just have haven't considered trying something else for the same purpose. The stuff I tend to fix/change/tinker with in build is the stuff that isn't working so well or doing what I want it to. And thank you for the kind words.

Hello, I follow your build since the beginning of the ambush league. I would thank you about the work and the advise. I have made a small change due to my lack of equipement. During my leveling i was pushed by friends and to be able to survive a bit I take Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics. I keep it cause I was sure to not have enough mana regen to sustain Artic Armor. I'm now 83 and can survive on map 76. I also finish the temple rare map alone after starting at 6 players; long to kill some of the resist chaos mobs but boos drop in a few seconds. As my dps is sufficient and my survivability high i don't change the acrobatics for the moemnt but I will change it when i would be on departure to atziri.
Here you will find my actual skill tree and my gear.

I have 4K hp, 56 mana regen and I think 3300 DPS on tooltip. I have a empower lvl 1 but not link on the bow cause it is on a 6% quality item. Last edited by Nabukad#2824 on Sep 22, 2014, 8:00:21 AM

Right now, you have EB, with no AA and no MoM. And Acrobatics really hurts EB. You have to really be strugglong to cast all of your stuff with only 57 regen. If you want to use Acrobatics as a defensive mechanism, I would recommend simply dropping AA and mana related stuff, gearing full on evasion, and using Blood Magic for Poison Arrow.
Toss some fuse on your bow to link it up to 5, and benchcraft a resist on. I am actually playing a MF light Acrobatics Poison Arrow Scion spec on Rampage myself. Here is how it's coming along so far - some of this may be useful to you. Overall, I don't think the spec is going to be as strong - but it does gave some nice damage mitigation, and once I can 2-2-2 my bow will be sitting at like 120 MF for normal use, so it will at least add something to my character lineup I don't have, Gear:

" Oh God Yeah thanks so much! I was hesitating which route to go, your EB/MOM or Windir's High eva Acrobatics, high MS and Higher dps on PA , its unfortunate that there was no update on his build for a long time.I really love acrobatics and wondering would it be dumb to take both acro and EB/MOM. I just posted on his thread and came back to yours and was SURPRISED to found out you are testing his build atm, because i thought that thread is loooong dead. I'm so glad and excited now, looking forward to hear your results and comparison. Sorry for my bad English, i m from Garena SEA. Lastly,Thanks for the awesome build :) |

" I have for the moment 500 Mana, still sufficient to play. I could be out of mana during some intense fight (large room with a lot of resist/more life/hard mobs) but I have a mana flask for these moment. I used EB cause without I was poor in mana pool. My purpose is to go through MoM and AA but I have not my final gear and without it I can't sustain a AA and MoM won't be efficient. It's for the same reason I don't put a resist on the bow, my master is far from level 8 and I won't be able to remove it. So I wait until the last moment before doing it. In one week I will have my empower level 2 and I will try to link my bow. there is something I don't undersatnd : "I can 2-2-2 my bow"; what do you mean by 2-2-2? Thanks for your answer and link. |

First of all, the +1 to all gems in your bow gives a level to Empower, you can actually use it now if you want.
For 2-2-2 I mean 2B2G2R coloring. I don't think the build I am playing now in Rampage is going to be quite as strong (it will still be solid) as this build - and I don't just want to bring a lesser version of something I already have back to standard - so to set it apart a bit I want to give it some MF - and need those rolls to add in the Rarity gem.

Hi there, I'm currently following the build on the first page.
I have all the gems leveling and there all linked except for my armour which is 3 link atm and my bow which is 5l 6s (arctic armour in the 1 socket) and a 3 socket switch weapon with the empower and 2 supports for the fire trap. It's going pretty good :) just need to slowly upgrade each item with better stats and get the +2/+1 and drillneck/carcass jack. And need to get that mana regen up because i can't run around with arctic armour on yet without my mana going to zero after 5 secs. Just one question. What flasks do you use for it? they arnt in your gear bit.

" Hi Rufus66, why are you using this arrow quiver; take a rare one with life and resist, it would be more usefull than yours. And drillneck is not necessary the best is the +1/+2 bow. |

" Well rolled flasks that fill in defensive gaps are extremely important for any build's survive-ability. Because of my abundance of mana I use sapping prefixes for healing flasks - these sapping rolls are now legacy they nerfed to 40% when they released new flasks. Without the legacy sapping rolls, I'd probably use the new flasks. - Healing/Bleed - Healing/Freeze - Mandatory run baby run - +Evasion while also giving armor - Lightning Resist and Warding For a long time I used a Jade instead of that Granite, but I like Granite' 2x use better, and while it doesn't give me as much added Evasion, it's a nice spike that also pops some Armor on. But it must have the Evasion roll on it. A Jade with Armor does not work since the build has no base armor for the % to scale while the Granite adds flat Armour. All of my builds use either a Topaz or Ruby of Warding flask, and my phys crit build actually carries one of each and swaps it on depending on the map. I have chosen Topaz for this build since AA eats a little fire.
