What is the difference between this and a ranger bow shocker? (Petrov's guide, the top version)

this build is for marauders...obviously

... I meant what is the DIFFERENCE between them statwise.

-double post bugzz-

We got a weaker Earlygame ( Almost only Health ), a stronger Midgame ( Faster to Templer ) and almost same Endgame.

I think we get later more Life but less Armor/Evasion boost since the Ranger can take some Evasion nodes in the beginning.

disagree,

marauder has the easiest early (pre 30lv),
you get health nodes, a 2h mace, and destroy everything

mid game this build is difficult, since you need dex and different gear

late game is more or less the same as both maruader and ranger go across marauder ranger and templar area

I started a bow marauder today and this is what i got it to:

I did like terrible damage until i got Iron grip, im using Burning/lightning arrow and i wanna get more shock stacks. I know i can get shock from the top of Witch and the start of Shadow but is it worth it or just get more crit?

Hey everyone so my marauder has finally hit level 30 or 31 can't remember,

I got a nice bow and quiver and I'm doing ok with dex at the moment

I followed the new player section on page 1 and made a 3 link for split arrow+ weapon elemental damage and life gain on hit.

But I'm just confused about a few things (there are a lot of pages in this guide so I'm not sure if it has been answered already or not! sorry!), is there a reason for linking split arrow with those two and NOT rain of arrows? Because split arrow is nice but shouldn't I be using rain of arrows for the massive aoe instead?

And just one last thing, as far as other skills, I have explosive arrow and poison arrow, but I see that I should be using Lightning arrow. I'm going to look to buy Lightning arrow from someone but once I have it, what do I link it with? (I also have Fork btw).

Sorry for the long post, first character in the game so still trying to get a hang of things! I appreciate any help! Thanks :D

I think Split Arrow scales better with Elemental Damage then Rain of Arrow.

You should get Lightning Arrow asap u can afford it.

3L - Lightning Arrow, LMP, LoH/Life Leech

4L - Lightning Arrow, LMP, LoH/Life Leech, Chain/Weapon Elemental Damage ( which u prefer more )

5L - Lightning Arrow, LMP, LoH/Life Leech, Chain, Weapon Elemental Damage


I'm atm Level 52 following this Guide, its working pretty well the Damage is just sick, haven't a problem with Dex atm ( dont spend 1 single point in dex nodes yet ) thanks to my quiver and amulett.

1700 Life
300~ Lightning Arrow DPS
1400~ Elemental Hit DPS

thanks for the quick reply! I'll pick up lightning arrow as soon as I log on then :) and try to get a 4L item. Just a quick question now, if I use lightning arrow with lets say a 4L item, and have lightning arrow, LMP, LoH and weapon elemental damage,

if I'm going to also be using split arrow, would i have ANOTHER 3L item that has split arrow+weapon elemental damage+ life on hit? sorry if it's confusing :P, thanks for your help!

Of course can you use Split Arrow aswell on ANOTHER 3 Link Item, but isn't really usefull Lightning Arrow will outdmg Split Arrow.

hmmm this is what confuses me, if it's better to use lightning arrow in the linked item, why does the OP say to use split arrow :S? I'm just sort of confused as to what skills I should have on my toolbar and such.
