[0.10.4b] Bow Marauder (The Shocker (tm)) [**TO BE UPDATED SOON 1.0.0**]

I'm in act2 cruel.

After the bandit quest, how important is chaos resists for the long journey to Vaal? Or is the strategy to have large HP to offset/absorb the chaos dmg?

i have 1300HP and have a few unspent skill points. i was going to make a beeline for iron reflxes, but can get 4 +health nodes insetad.

I'm at +18% chaos resist right now (+20belt, +18 quiver) and could go up another 9% with gloves. (i lose +11% attack speed by switching gloves.)

worth it to buy 4L +chaos resist armor?

Yo guys is this worth using a blessed orb and an exalted for?



I can't for the life of me make it 5L

Im not really gonna give too much advice on upgrading equipment, just because I don't follow the markets enough to really trust my advice lol (especially since I just noticed you are HC league and I know nothing about that market)


As far as chaos damage goes, I only have 2.3k, and am still at -60% chaos resist, and I don't find it to be much of a problem. In general you can avoid ranged chaos attacks by physically dodging, and the main chaos damage dealers (vaal constructs and vipers) are completely glass, so if you get the drop on them, you can often kill them before they even attack. Experience may vary, but I didn't find chaos a big enough deal to care about.

Thanks for your response. As for chaos dmg I dont know about you but if you have champ snakes with extra speed lined up shooting at you at -60% and you dont hit that potion fast enough its a one way trip to softcore

Well as mentioned in my comment about not knowing pricing for HC, I don't play HC (over the course of an evening of playing, i probably have my internet drop for 30 seconds 2 to 4 times, and THAT is a 1 way ticket to softcore for sure lol). I fully acknowledge a build closer to Assur's is probably better if going HC, and that probably has enough HP to eat it, but I really can't comment on HC. I mean hell, I am using my twink gear to relatively speed level an even glassier version of this build since I never really die outside of act bosses anyway, but I definitely wouldn't recommend a build with only 163% HP for HC :p

Makes me want to cry... I spent the last few hours playing on HC, and seriously, I don't think it is going to work out. I get random ping jumps ranging between 1k and 2k whenever something important happens, and the framerate follows accordingly, dropping to 0-8 FPS. However much I hated it, it seems that Default is my home...

honestly I feel like desync issues are getting worse and my friends have been getting more ping spikes. Wonder why?

more people on server. too much load and we get what we get...
today i lost 45% XP on a way to 69...this shit makes me wanna cry ((

Updated the passive skill tree. I believe this might be the last update to the passive skill tree until GGG decides to overhaul the tree. Several people influenced it, and I'm very happy with it right now.

HC players would probably want to get more life nodes! At its current state, the build has 179% increased HP. Reducing the DPS a little bit, and taking several easily accessible HP nodes would boost that significantly. Remember, HC is about survival! I am personally not playing HC (sadly) for reasons beyond my influence.

hi...

i am new marauder hunter here:-P...

just bough very cheap yesterday,
and also .

While i am happy that i have quill allready (i am lv 12), i do have some concerns about mana or life drain using it...

could u all please help me with some questions i have...

if i go to static blows 1st, will i not have to much time with mana problems (should i take blood magic 1st and than go up until static blows?)

will i have enough dex if i dont go toward dex nodes on the right side of the skill tree immediately?

what is the equipment i should be looking for?

i have burning, poison, lightning and split arrow...i should use burning for 1v1 dmg until find elemental or frenzy i suppose...and should i use lightning from the start for aoe, or split arrow like u suggested for begining?

that's it for now, to keep it short lol...
