Question about 6L. Not that I'm there yet but I'm curious as to if it's really worth using FA in the LA 6L. I have a 5L right now at lv66 in A3 Merciless and I clear stupidly fast with sub-par gear. It seems to me that more DPS won't really help that much. Wouldn't Increased Rarity/Quantity be better? Or do you actually need the DPS when you do maps?

Or do you actually need the DPS when you do maps? You will always want more dps because high level mobs/maps with a few teammates will never be one shots. The 6th slot can be used for anything youd like including rarity, lightning pen, added light, elemental prolif or FA if it wasnt already part of your core 5 link.

Is Amplify node necessary? 2 points I can spend on life IGN: Catastrophically	Posted by Catastrophically#1423 on Mar 18, 2013, 11:40:36 PM Quote this Post

Also, I think 3*10% elem dmg nodes those close to ranger are not necessary. I just put them all on life nodes. IGN: Catastrophically	Posted by Catastrophically#1423 on Mar 19, 2013, 1:21:35 AM Quote this Post

I just put them all on life nodes. i had no problem w/merciless at 1500hp after auras. only died to cremetorium piety. no problem that is till i got chain. chain's 200% mana requirement meant my LA = 100hp per volley if i'm spamming LA and hitting doorways or edge of buildings, my HP globe has dropped to 50% which is a little uncomfortable. but chain = clearing things faster when you do hit, which is a vast majority of time Last edited by Pi314#5955 on Mar 19, 2013, 7:35:28 AM	Posted by Pi314#5955 on Mar 19, 2013, 7:34:27 AM Quote this Post
" My current setup is Temporal Chains, Elemental Weakness, Frenzy and EH Totem. Elemental Weakness works much better than Projectile Weakness for me as things are at the moment. Frenzy can be replaced for Elemental Hit; but I like having the extra 25% attack speed for my LA (it is really easy to maintain 5 charges up at all times). Elemental Hit would deal more damage than Frenzy; but it wouldn't augment LA. So to "fix" that problem, I use EH on a totem, instead of other methods (Bear Traps being the most common). This way I get the best of both worlds. Whenever I need any help on a single target, or some aggro relief, the EH totem is there. I also use it as a probe to check behind corners - if I cast it and it starts shooting, or gets rammed by a rhoa, it has served its purpose and I know what is up ahead. Hey Venator, Why not use a frenzy totem to keep charges up, and instead yourself use Elemental hit? This way you don't have to worry about keeping up frenzy charges - one less thing to worry about. And you still get the best of both worlds.
