What type of gear do you use as a bow marauder, armor? armor/evasion? or evasion?


Not a silly question, but it's entirely up to you because of the usage of Iron Reflexes. You're free to use evasion as you choose because it's just converted to armor.

yup about iron reflexes. i dont care about armor or evasion or energy shield rating on armor or any gear.

it all about +dmg or +resistance.
and to wield higher bows, it's about +dex. +40dex quiver and +20 onyx amulet will only get you so far.

lvl 20 bow (recurve) needs 71dex. base 14 + 60 from quiver /amulet makes it (barely).
next up is the bone bow at 83dex.

ay what point do you stop LA leveling?
same with the other gems, i got grace, wrath, fork, split arrow, 2x WED, life gain, life leech, etc

where should we stop the leveling on these?
i recall LA should be maxed to 5 to be optimal, but i am not sure where i read that from

That's Closed Beta information you got there. In Open Beta you pretty much want to level everything up. Only don't level up the gem if your current resource management can't take it just yet; in that case delay it until you've got the required upgrades to your gear/passive tree.
Life is tough... but it is tougher if you're stupid.

I really like your build I'm doing this build but instead of using lightning arrow, I use poison arrows, I'm really good at kiting and it helps me use those skills when using poison arrows, I also tweaked the skill tree on my desired flavor, but this guide helps me build an awesome bow marauder.
some ranger said that it will be better to first poison arrow the minion, which will increasing your clearing efficiency of lightning arrow
it that true?

Poison Arrows effects have nothing to do with Lightning Arrows effects. That is purely personal preference on what he likes to shoot in which order. What that makes you do is shoot several skills in a row, nothing else. Poison Arrow shot is a wasted shot there, IMO. The DoT is not worth it when the mobs drop within a second or two anyway; and LA will most likly apply shock to several mobs, increasing damage of the next hit. I see no point in such activity; but to each his own.

On the left is what the guide says.
On the right is what I thought of.

Basically why don't you just go through amplify?
Costs a little more total but your killing power also increase. You do lose the int nodes which might interrupt your ability to level Wrath but could you make up for this somewhere else? I am currently using an int neck on my lvl 56 to be able to level Wrath.
