[2.2] Poor Mans Guide to Bows - 114K DPS and Atziri on a 5L

I had a lvl 71 ranger laying around with a full respec and wasn't sure what to do with it. Decided to try this as it seemed cheap.

Bought an absolutely appalling chest (2 fuses) and bow (2c), and used the rest of what I had laying around. Gear is bad enough I've (at least temporarily) taken some of the evade/resist nodes to hit cap, and all the extra life nodes that were nearby as well for good measure.

Managed to get the chest 4 linked with LA/Chain/GMP/Physical Projectiles. Frenzy is setup in my gloves with frenzy/physical projectiles/phys to light/WED. CODT isn't working yet as I didn't realize I had bought all high level gems, so gotta either trade them for low ones or level up CWDT - which means no blood rage. Forgot to buy a golem gem at all...

Despite my absolute piss poor planning and setup I went into A3M to beat up on Dom a little bit so I could unlock Act 4. Oh. My. Goodness. It was all I could do not to clap my hands with glee the first time I blew up a pack of mobs in a quarter of a second.

Love this build man, and the write up was super easy to follow as well.

Haha I am glad that you are liking the build and that you get the same joy from destroying entire packs with one shot as I do. It is the entire reason I play an LA Ranger. It is glorious!
Are you planning on posting the tree that goes in the new tree? im so scared to touch my ranger
Are you going to update this anytime soon ?

Hi there, yup here is my 2.1 Skill tree at level 90

With the changes to mana gained per level you can bypass Primal spirit, saving up 2 nodes.

@AngryCustard: have you considered taking Vaal Pact ? I've pickep up this node after 2.1 and I find the result quite useful.

@AngryCustard : Thanks for the tree update. Did you change any gems or any pieces of your gear with the new patch?

I will look into bypassing primal spirit. It does have an intel and strength benefit. But you're right this could allow for another jewel socket or more life etc.

As for vaal pact, becuase I run blood rage and have 3.6% life regen I prefer not to take it. This gives me free passive frenzy charge generation and also attack speed.

Hey I haven't made any changes, there aren't any major changes to support gems that effect bow's unless you count Void Manipulation for a Voltaxic Rift build.
