So, snakebite worth it with poison nodes? In HC?

I think, yes. At least, worth a try.
After all, Snakebite has HP, unlike many other unique gloves.

Any updates on the guide? i've a 5L voltaxic and the dmg is lacklauster compared to my previous chars (swt,ED) and survability is meh without kaoms and decent evasion. Hows your dmg, can u clear t12s at decent speed?

For blast rain, which links do you guys think is the most optimal for 6l if you have the option to? For 5l it seems like the consensus is BR - FA - WED - CONC - POISON.

Slower Projectiles is much better gem than FA. It has no downsides for BR.

Added Lightning Damage is a great gem too, depends on your gear though.

Void Manipulation is even better than Slower Projectiles, unless you have lots of non-lightning damage from gear.

If you get Snakebite, you can free up 1 gem slot (are there ARE good gems you can put there).


So, no way you'll ever use FA for Blast Rain. There're so many better gems....
And if you use BR for AoE, dont put conc. effect there.
Personally, i found BR being THE BEST bow skill ever, both for AoE and single target. Its base damage is just OP.

So I just hit 90 yesterday (in SC Tali) and I love this build.
Doing some pretty risky maps I finally hit 90.

Gear:

Spoiler

Tree

I experiemented alot with the tree and for SC I hate going for the scion lifewheel..its so far away and I think I'm fine with 5k HP and LC.
It takes some skill, but so far I did up to tier 13 maps with relative ease, I died a couple times to my driver failing (AMD -.-) and ONE oneshot from a beyond mob that I still don't understand since I died in under 0,5sec.
Aside from that, pretty much everything is doable, my gear is not super good, alot of improvement can be made.
I think its possible to hit 5,5K HP without the scion wheel.
Sitting @17K LA DPS with 7frenzy and 3power.
I really want the acendency calss trees now... Voltaxic with higher basecrit will be insane.
AH and I did Atziri like 4 times, 3 of them deathless pretty easy on this char.

cheers

do you run 3 Auras? without bloodmagic gem?

im sorry to ask a very retarded question but how are you running arctic armour, 2 heralds and wrath?

am i missing out something here becuz even with the jewel that has 2% reduced mana reserve:

arctic armour (22% mana reserved)
double heralds ( 44% mana reserved)
wrath ( 43% mana reserved )

thats a total of 109% mana reserved :/

EDIT: i forgot to use alpha's howl when testing

blast rain is simply for single target spell. no reason why i would use it for aoe if im using LA so that's why im using conc effect. i also personally do not like snakebite so that is why i'm using poison gem and even if i didn't, it still adds 120% poison damage and 20% poison duration. and i do not care about poison for regular mob packs because they do not live long enough for poison to be effective. i'll check out slower projectiles and void manipulation though.

edit: honestly i do not like slower projectiles and feel like it doesnt provide that much of a damage increase. i would well rather use added lightning. void manipulation + added lightning would seem to be good and void manipulation will also increase my poison damage.

Currently doing a full yolo version of this =D
Big phys hits hurt (mostly from birds and porcupines) but LC should fix that.
Followed the guide in 2.0 (Darkshrine SC) and it was very nice. Not going past 95 this time so opting for more dmg.

Should have 20k dps on LA soon :p


My planned Passive skill tree build

So many wasted points in this build

You dont need the 2X dex nodes in the Ranger tree, just to add to the flat damage. Essence Sap,going towards the int node near shadow and so on and so forth.

Here is a little rework (1 point more)

Also you at this level you shouldnt be needing any int from the tree. It should be coming from gear.

36k DPS at LA
80+k (if i am right) on frenzy
50+k on siege ballista (2nd 6L voltaxic on swap for bosses)

updates:
- got 2nd 6L voltaxic, tested blast rain. Damage looks great but i don't like mechanic of this skill, so switched to ballista+frenzy, seems good.
- dropped 1 frenzy charge from tree. 6 is enought and duration looks better.
- dropped phase acro, so i've switched to more offensive tree
- got nodes for onslaught, it looks great for solo and for maps with TC

Guys don't forget that snakebite is not only for poison. It also has 6 * 2 = 12% increased attack speed and a lot % accuracy. So it can be compared to rare gloves with Attack Speed, Accuracy, Life.

You can make more tooltip dps with maligaros and maybe poison gem for single target, but 36k is enough for me (in 2.0 it was 22k). In party with good auras like anger/haste/vaal haste dps on LA will be near 70-80 (was 60k in old gear w/o some crit multiplier nodes)

p.s. sorry haven't time to write answers here. All day at work, all night in game :D
