Loving this build !

Been having trouble finding pieces for cheap builds, but I managed to get a hold of pieces for this one.

I'm using a Rats nest and unfortunately I do not own the boots you have that give such a big bonus to phys and proj damage.

But it is still kicking ass !

I did a small test run at docks merciless and I 1 shot every pack even though my dps numbers are no where close to yours.



I need to update the gear section. As those boots are league only drops.

Also Rat's Nest are only 2ex and seem to be dropping so they may be affordable. The life you lose from not running Starkonja's head can be made up on your boots.

Will wait to see what rat's nest prices do over the next few days before finally udpating the build.
Hello Boys,

yesterday i riped on lvl 75 :(, i really love ur guide, but somehow i take too heavy hits...
I was at 4,4k hp, dont get oneshot, but almost....

Now my question is, if evasion works nowadays in HC and high lvl maps, couldnt reach em, on 2.0 i reached lvl 88.

Im only a casual player, but i really want this to work, but the main prob is the physical damage (cant avoid every hit).

Would be nice if u guys can help me.

I was wondering the same thing.. If this was HC viable build.

Did you have Daresso's Defiance? I'm guessing this piece is pretty important for survivability. The endurance charges it automatically gets will proc ur CWDT and Immortal Call giving you a moment of invulnarability to flee?

Would like to see what AngryCustard says tho.

I'm only a filthy casual as well. To be honest, I do not play hard core. There are a few reasons behind that, I have a really crappy net connect, and even with lock step I get lag related deaths, where frames/actions pile up on top of each other and I have no idea it is happening till the game unfreezes and suddenly I am dead.

Secondly I am a DPS Warrior and I like high clear speeds. I find the slow methodical style of hardcore play boring. So all my builds are super fast clear speeds and high damage. I have enough life/defense to get me through high tier maps and atziri but that is about it. You're not going to be able to do Core Malachai or Uber atziri with my builds. But my builds are cheap and fun to play for everything else.

Personally I don't like hardcore and I don't build builds for it. Immortal call is pretty much a requirement for any sort of survivability for this build.


On a side note, if you were going to play hardcore using this build. I would suggest that you drop Herald of Ash, and instead run Blasphemy Enfeeble. You will take 30% less damage from white and rare mobs, + you will get hit less often.
Would you get a physical doryani's belt instead of lightning?

I wouldn't get either.

You want a regular rustic sash with as much life and resist as you can get.
My friends keep insisting 150% increased hp is too low for end game maps. They also argue Daresso's chest is bad and you would be better off with a high life/tri res rare. I want to prove them wrong with this build.

Now, since I am fresh out of currency after 5 linking a coil and fixing resists on my current Bladefall char, I'm gonna grind some more for a few challenges (level 90 I'm looking at you!). Meanwhile I can id all of the million bows that drop my way.

My question is: how good would a bow need to be to beat Lioneye's (stat-wise)? And how much raw accuracy is needed to have 95% hit vs level 82 mobs?
No jewels taken in lvl90 passive trees ?!?!? oO
All in all, the guide is super generic in my opinion, talking about 8 different skills, but not really going deep in any of them because, yeah, passives/gear/jewels/etc vary a lot from Slipt-arrow to LA !
I was looking for a build, you made my day, LA Ranger inc :)

150% life is enough to run lvl 80 maps. Enough to kill atziri. As for daressos chest, not sure what your friend is on about, it gives you free endurance charges and 6% dodge. This helps your survive heaps making your cast when damage taken setup work without any manual input.

You need a 330 DPS 8.5% Crit now to be better than lioneyes.

I don't think you need 95% accuracy. 93% is fine. But with lioneyes you don't need any, you always hit which makes things a lot easier.
