Speedy Puncture + Pierce Split Arrow / Reflect Safe or Glass Cannon / Level 100 & Uber Atziri Farmer

Im using this build since Rampage start.

Right now im 87 because i stoped leveling, just trying to farm for fragments and stuff.

Im posting this to say thank you very much Precaso.

I killed Atziri with the build, i can do almost all maps and i killed every map boss with it too.

To me, its kinda hard to kill her everytime, sometimes i still fail. I got 4k Life, almost 15k Split and 19k Puncture dmg with Hatred and HoA on.

The main problem in the fight is my high latency - 200 to 250.

The only problem im having right now is the boredoom with maps. I got really addicted with the Atziri fight.

Its fun and still a challenge for me.

Again, thank you very much Precaso.

Awesome build! Unfortunately at level 57 I haven't gotten or found puncture. But still, no problems using frenzy and split arrow with this build yet and soloed every boss without death even with magic gears

i was planning to change my brood grip with a high res, 6x+ life, 2% life leech and taking 2% mana leech from tree .. in order to use this amulet

do you think it's a good change?


2)
i was thinking about this tree in order to take more damage istead of life (with the future 6x ring i will touch 4.5k)

new tree

in a way, this build uses offense as a defense

I'm adding a quest reward section in the 1.2 update, you should be able to snag puncture as a quest reward and still get the gems you need

So, I was thinking about a few things.

1) For drillneck your damage is increased with your chance to pierce. We do not have pierce attached to puncture so does that mean we are not optimizing the potential damage there? I'd think pierce would be needed. I'd swap it for faster attacks since FA is more of a perceived damage increase as it's #of hits over time and we want 1 big hit (or several spread out).

2) in the original post it was said a 4link was enough (true) and a 6link suggestion was curse on hit - vulnerability.
There is another suggestion I'd think would be great to increase the damage for puncture. Slow Projectiles - Faster Projectiles. It would be the conc effect - inc aoe version of bows gems. They'd negate the negatives and both provide damage. 46% at level 20 and 56% + 10% attack speed if both are 20/20. You can still self cast vulnerability or use something like Tornado shot - curse on hit - vulnerability

3) Entropy cluster above the mana leech passive. Like vulnerability it increases the damage over time. Since this happens After the damage is taken and is factored by itself it would act as a multiplier. The question for this would be what to remove. Just wonder if you had considered it.

GREAT build though. Thank you so much for sharing. It's been a lot of fun.

the only thing I really can't run is reflect. It just hurts way too much. Even tried life leech or gain on hit gems and it was a no go.

------------
I don't have a drillneck yet but may try to sell a thing or 2 to see if I can get one. I use both Herald of Ash and Herald of Ice alongside Hatred.

My evasion chance is around 42%, life around 4.4K and dps with those on and possibly power charges is in the upper 20's maybe even close to 30K.

I use tornado shot instead of split arrow mostly. I do have split arrow with culling - iir - blind. I'll eventually swap that out for a cwdt setup.

My crit is somewhere around 50%. I think it jumps to 60 with power charges. I only have 3 power charges since this is a respec character. Believe it was life, attack speed, point

lvl 86

gear


I'll eventually swap behemoth knuckle for higher life and life leech (maybe mana leech too if I can find it).

tree

Really loving the build thx a lot :D
Was wondering what I should try and upgrade next? And those damn evasion boots refuses to even give me 3 red sockets so my CWDT setup is broken.

Skill Tree at lvl 87


thx for any help!

Just wanted to say this build is awesome. This is my first ranger and I am lvl 92 now on rampage. Not sure if it was mentioned before, but it should be added to the main guide:
is awesome for phys reflect maps.

I vaal orb pretty much all my maps, since I can run insane mods. Really the only thing that I skip is double reflect.
I skipped allmost all damage nodes, only took the crit ones and the pierce. I am currently at 20k split damage (goes to like 25-26k with charges) with hatred/ash/ice.
5.2k life, 13k eva, 40% dodge, 46% spelldodge and 7% life leech make me very hard to kill.



Still have like 30 exa I am not spending, cos I am to lazy to find upgrades :)

Would it be possible to make HC-viable (Beyond league) tree for this build? How would it look?

I actually find it has great survivability as it is. I guess you would need to add more life, use chain on split arrow ( i died so much to reflect cos my arrows pierced and hit mobs the other side of the map :D) and make phase acro mandatory. Swap out PPAD gem for added fire also. I tried to get more life in my tree and i found it very expensive pointswise to do so.

I run spell dodge even in standard and i very rarely die now with 4k HP. I have 54% chance to evade, 40% to dodge, 46% Chance to dodge spells and ondars which gives....i have no idea.....much evasion for projectiles. When i get to 100 i will change all my gear again and run crit multi ammys etc :D My current gear is :



My gems are backwards atm i normally run my puncture on a 6l and sa on a 5l but i need maps so i threw in iiq :D

@GhostRogue: IIQ modifiers on gear don't affect map drops.

That's a neat idea with the Blackgleam -I've been rerolling phys reflect maps, but gets expensive and have had to pass on otherwise good rolls. Blackgleam + throwing on a carnage heart (don't have very much leech) should sort me out. Think I even have one stashed somewhere.
