one more question Sir :)

in your guide you mentioned "herald of ice" works slightly better than "herald of ash" together with cast on hit and assassins mark. Can you tell me if herald of ash +cast on hit +assassins mark will work with high crit chance too? or is the chance with herald of ice + cast on hit +assassins mark that much higher / better?

Why I ask that? Because with herald of ash I can deal "a lot more damage", compared with herald of ice.

hey grocery :>

i´m trying your build in talisman and really like it! i can´t wait to get a decent harbinger and climb some content i haven´t seen so far.

by the way:

1)
is it viable to use blast rain as main single target spell (especially with concentrated effect) and lightning arrow as main aoe spell with this built? i don´t feel like i´m using frenzy that much for dps besides using it for frenzy charges.

2)
is there a big difference between running herald of ice vs herald of thunder linked with curse on hit/ assasin´s mark?

I really like how quick all of us can get an answer here, respect and thank you :)

So far my only problem with this build are the missing intelligence and strength notes in your skill tree. For me it only works with 2 notes +30 strength and 1 note +30 intelligence. Dexterity I have A TON OF points :) but anyway... GREAT BUILD !!! I HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
But I regret playing this build in the Talisman League. So far the "talisman idea" is no big and new challenge for me, no big difference to standard league. But OK, at the moment I have only Tier 3 talisman, so let´s wait how good they can get later :)
But daaaamn ... now with level 70 and maps coming I REALLY WANT a harbinger bow, a GOOD ONE of course. But they are so damn expensive in the talisman league. In standard it would be no problem to get a cheap one :/ And I need Rat´s Nest too. Minimum... together... 10-12 EX ORBS looking at PoE Goods!? And damn those EX Orbs are so hard to get... I have NEVER found one.. or ok, maybe 1... I am no trader... I am no seller... so getting those EX Orbs for me is so damn hard... :/

Can I get a level 70 example tree for non-crit chin sol + point blank? I have never played a ranger. I messed up bad and killed merciless Kraityn so I had to spend all my regrets (and scours) respeccing that bandit quest, so every point I have to move hurts and my build is somewhat gimped without knowing that I'm aiming for.

I am using Empire's Grasp, Hatred, and Blasphemy + Projectile Weakness, if that matters. King of the Hill is pretty nice because the small amount of inherent knockback on all my attacks lets me vaccuum up fast rare monsters that are just outside my Blasphemy radius. Because I am CWDT some Frost Walls, it seems to weird out the monster AI and they don't know what to do when passing through the Frost Walls so they become docile and die if inside a wall.

I didn't see it mentioned, but I'm trying to buy some Fierce Viridian Jewel of Soaring (phys damage with bows + projectile speed) so my blast rain delay is minimized, which is where I'm most vulnerable. If the delay gets really short I can use Slower Projectiles to convert it back in more damage.

I'm trying to sustain mana with just that one 0.4 life and 0.4 mana leech node in duelist and no other mana leech. Does the 6link version need all that leech or can you drop some of it? I only have a 5 link. On Mathil's stream where he's farming Uber Atziri in Talisman SC with something close to this build, he's sustaining on only 0.4% mana leech and that's it because his damage is so high.

In general, your gear is way too strong, like WAY too strong - it's hard to follow the guide with the Standard Legacy stuff when I'm on a fresh start on a new league.
