[1.2] Sidra's Guide: Acrobatics Based Physical Crit Split Arrow Ranger (Atziri Kill Video Inside)

Can you post your link in POE Builder? Website tree links don't work yet. I would be curious to see it - my concern being the only way to get life up there is to hit up the Scion life wheel - but that traveling would cause a large offensive loss from both the old 1.1 tree, or the new 1.2 tree I had planned.

Sure: https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgIAm42v6wgu7YMZjgBe037ven117g7-ulb6u-P8xXfXxKJnoN0Nfys51Id2W68s6TB81op290p9IXYVII19UUcx-obOIuIqTSP251SVBY2_Ps-gn8EzR-I_J31bTZIk_dnGBbW95tCBSsisR__eMpTC7NQjpDluqlFMfwIM8jBxtfLKSqbgpcvdqDWSb55tbEt4_o_YvYMJnKS1SDY9OkJN4_4KhxPz6gYj44SdquywplfyRXcHKgsfQcCcYqxsjIwLOuFwUgMepzS5fBa_JpVh4lVLjDbxs0tXwOPcFafU_sg=

Some of the stats totals are broken in poebuilder though, like bow attack speed. The offensive stats are very comparable to 1.1.5, maybe even a bit higher, defences are better.

Edit: FYI you can copy a link to a skill tree in the "decode skilltree" box in poebuilder, and load 'em like that. The reason I prefer to use the offline calculator is because of the wrong values that are still present in poebuilder.

Hmmm - nice tree. It gives up a few of the nice combo speed nodes I was looking forward to (Celerity/Quickstep/Avatar of the Hunt) - but 15% more speed is still considerably more than I had on the old tree. But it also has the 5 points above Heart of Oak to customize if wanted. My biggest concern with your tree would be 2x60 Auras with no mana reservation nodes. But with the combo of lesser mana costs, combined with the fact Mana Drinker comes with 20% more mana - it may work in 1.2.

As an off topic FYI - so pissed - My Norton popped up a threat that I fixed - but it was my offline calculator and now the program is gone, and all my saved builds I had worked on gone as well :(

Kudos.

Yeah, the movement speed nodes are hard to fit in, if you want to get high increased life.

I was wondering about what to do with the auras. I guess it's still possible to get those nodes in exchange for some physical damage or accuracy, but I guess we'll have to wait to see how important they will be. The new herald auras will be interesting as well, if they are indeed gaining a percentage of physical damage as elemental damage.

Mhm, that build is nice, but 1k hp for 23k dps?

Switch my build with your, to see difference

First of all: you can't use poebuilder to calculate things like that for now, because of the broken nodes. (Read: getting 90% attack speed for 1 node) The real difference in damage will be quite a bit lower, I think.

Second: Yep, you're missing out on quite a bit of damage. The entire point of this though was that with 4k life it wouldn't be possible to do all bosses. I was just trying to show that it was still possible to maintain damage comparable to 1.1 while keeping life at the same level, but you are right about the fact that attention should be paid to the tradeoff between life and extra damage.

What's the point of more damage if you need to skip out on the fun fights? ^.^

So, no passive skill tree for the 1.02 yet Asidra?

You can read through the last few pages for some discussion - but it will be a while before the guide is updated. I won't put a recommendation on there in guide form for everyone I haven't played myself considerably - so I will probably have to stress test a few variations before the actual main post of the guide is updated. Theorycrafitng is a big part of it, but you really have to play and experience builds to gain an understanding of them and their capabilities.

True.

To be honest, i just theorycrafted my build, i have no real experience with a late game bow ranger.

Maybe 30kdps (before chain) + 5khp are better then 50k with 4khp. I'm looking forward to see your final build.
