Ok yea i forgot about piercing shots. The devoto's was self found and i kind of just worked it in for the move speed and phys reduction, plus i can get the 3r 1 g sockets for increased duration with it. ill go back to my rare helm though.

The phys reduction on devoto's applies to YOUR skills, not to monster damage. Basically, the only thing you get from devoto's stats in this build is the movement speed, nothing else.

how the hell do you get so much dmg on this build?

I followed this build and have only 7000 tooltip dps.....

Link your tree and your gear here, and I'll tell you why :) like this, I cannot possibly know what you missed (and you definitely missed something).

iam only lvl 82, gear isnt that good, but as u said most dmg come from gems and bow etc. Got plus 2 bow, have empower lvl 2 in stash etc.

have 20/20 caustic arrow, void, slower procectile, conc effect, rapid decay. tried switch out with empower but meh...

8k tooltip with frenzy up :(((

i changed my bow to 6L.



CA dps with 6L and lvl 19 gems:





so far till t9 maps everything fine. but, while doing t10+ maps sometimes i feel need some more movement speed and out of mana too.i still need to take 2 more jewels sockets to complete this build at lvl 92. i can fix the mana prb with mana regen in gear but thinking to drop a jewel socket and pick more movement speed. wat u think ?

So he did 40k?

Yes, but with hidden potential and all blue (magic) gear, which has its downsides. I'll add something about that in the guide.

what downsides? :p

im ele weakness capped
i got 5,8k health
i've done the t15 challenges, atziri, and the other challenges, all solo, and played to 96 before ripping to springs explosion in THC
only down side is not being able to use drillneck WHILE being ELEWEAKNESS capped (im still normally capped with drillneck)

and the tt is higher than 40k with drillneck

You need a +3 bow. The reason is simple: +3 not only boosts your base damage by boosting the level of your Caustic Arrow gem; it also boosts the level of all support gems by +1, which also means your lvl 2 Empower would become level 3 Empower - which then means that your Caustic Arrow gem would get TWO (2!) extra levels just from using a +3 bow :D +3 bows really aren't that expensive, so I recommend working on that first. Even if you don't use Empower, a +3 bow will give you the biggest DPS boost.

Your tree: I see you specced into Piercing shots, but do you have Drillneck quiver? If not, you don't benefit from Piercing shots. Also, you have 3 completely pointless dexterity nodes allocated, I have no idea why. You can use those 3 points then to get the 2 projectile damage nodes + 1 jewel socket below Scion.

What is your MS? It's rare for a ranger to have low MS. With Atziri's step, I have 45% MS.

As for the tree change, I personally don't think it's worth it, but if you're ok with losing some DPS and have absolutely no other way to boost your MS (by getting some other boots, for example), then go for it.

Not being able to use Atziri's Step, for example, which is a very nice survivability boost IMO. Having lower evasion overall. Not being able to get gear with chaos res - I have almost max chaos res in merciless because I use rare gear. Not being able to use Carcass. Those are some of the things that come to mind.

I'm not saying it's bad, you showed me in-game it's viable and pretty good. It's just not a concept I prefer :) I am adding it to the guide, though, you can check it out.

You are right, actually - but i do use carcass jack as the only unique

aaaah just ripped at lvl 80. it was fun while it lasted i guess. caught me bleeding and both my bleed flasks were empty, wasnt paying enough attention breezing through a map. she'll probably just collect dust now in standard while i reroll for ascendancy but thanks for the memory anyway
