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.

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

Here is my tree.

Let me know on any thoughts or feedback. My profile is open to view my gear and any feedback would be nice. It's been difficult to get items I want so they are not at what I would like it to be. Still trying to get 6L as well. Doesn't seem like my dps output isn't as high as others but I'm satisfied with my dps atm. I clear maps fast and fine on my own and I'm ok with not being the faster clearer in parties knowing that I'm also shocking everything for everyone.

Yea that is true, it adds attack speed and accuracy with frenzy charges. I'm running lightning coil though so I rather have rare gloves with res on it as I need the lightning res.

I have been trying to follow your work in Talisman HC. Even whispered u once. Thanks for the answers u gave. Didn't see that u also have this topic from old league. You are doing very good job in Talisman currently! Stay safe!

Do you think your current build go better gearwise? I suppose Kaom's is just superior chest in HC? How about Alpha's Howl? Is that something I really should look after?

1) I am using Grace+Arctic Armour since no need to race with damage but after all I have no idea will Arctic Armor will be too weak lvl90+?

2) Any possible cwdt-gem combos? I have usually ran as many as possible combos for my characters but for my first dex character it seems that only cwdt+immortal call+increased duration might be the only possible.

3) I don't understand how u can get Curse on Hit to work? It needs to be linked Herald of Thunder but how does it work with it?

4) Have u tried to run Chaos Golem instead of ice since it takes some physical dmg off if that's the most likely way to die? I am running Ice Golem with minion damage but going to change it to minion life since damage itself from golem is nothing. It's important that golem is resilient and stays with u tho!

Really liking poison aspect. I'm little bit worried that poison will be nerfed a little bit after this league.

x2 dex for static electricity is nice imo and tbh getting 101 INT from gear is a pain.
Where near shadow int becauase I needed it. Easier to spec 2 int nodes then get new gloves, helm, rings and belt.

I played your great build, thxs for the work!

I managed to Chance
Now i want to include it... But unsure how :(

29% more and 10% increased damage.

That's what Slower Projectiles provide. It's quite a good boost for a gem slot.

Added lightning doesnt increase poison damage directly, consider that. However, with low flat damage on gear it still provides spectacular boost.
