I'm lvl 87 and my stats card says I only do 3233 DPS

The tooltip DPS does not add the elemental bonus damage from Doomfletch so you cannot trust it.
Use something like Path of Building (https://github.com/Openarl/PathOfBuilding/releases) if you want to know your actual DPS.
That said, I followed this build as well and Rangers unfortunately don't gain too much from Doomfletch. Inquistor is a much better choice if you want to use that bow.

Thanks for your reply. It makes much more sense now.

The tool you provided me with says I dish out 28,700 DPS which makes much more sense.
At this point I conclude this is a mediocre build, though.

Having to roll on rings/amu/gloves physical dmg on top of using that many unique items makes resistance capping and life mods a hard case. Basically, you need to cap your resistances and gain life mods through the amulet, rings, belt and gloves. Chest. helm and quiver are necessarily unique items, I would recommend boots too (Voidwalkers). This will make the rare equipment items very expensive to find imo.

Spending such a budget on a roughly 30k DPS build is not worthy.
I feel like taking the physical path on Light Arrow without the Doomfletch would be a much better choice. A buffed Harbinger or a Council Bow would perform very well if you entered the Heavy Draw and Deadly Draw passive node.

Also, I'm against the Onslaught choices on Ascendancy. First onslaught Ascendancy node only offers a 20% chance to gain that buff which only lasts 3 seconds. The second node simply invests on the buff making it stronger but doesn't increase it's chance. Going for Phasing nodes will give you a nice defensive boost. You'll be phasing 9 out of every 10 gaming seconds if you combine it with Voidwalker boots, during which you'll be much faster, harder to hit and you gain 20& ele dmg. It's safer in every way.

Yeah I got about the same results, which seem to be about right considering my in-game damage. However I do believe that with Kickass steel rings and a lot of elemental damage (which is much more important than Crit Strike or Crit Multi with Doomfletch), 100k DPS is a possibility but at what cost?
Going for a 300+ pDPS harbringer bow seems to be a more reasonable choice.

Avatar of the Veil's elemental damage has been increased to 40%.
Avatar of the Chase's increase to Onslaught effect has been increased to 100%.
Way of the Poacher now has a 20% chance to gain a frenzy charge on kill or on hitting a rare or unique enemy.
Rapid Assault now has a 100% chance to gain Onslaught on kill.
Quartz Infusion now has a 100% chance to gain Phasing on kill.
The minor Ascendancy skills leading up to Avatar of the Chase now grant 20% increased Onslaught duration, instead of 5% attack speed.

Denke nun dürfte der Build ziemlich "viable" sein^^

These are great but don't make a point towards Doomfletch.
You can go physical with Harbinger or Reach of Council and capitalize even better on the upcoming buffs.

Oh sry, i didnt notice that i used the wrong language :D

I mean "Now it should be very viable with the new buffs to raider :)

Look the same as my build, bro, just with more going on as obviously you have the links for it.

that has made me happy as I could not get a straight answer from anyone about my build, even after making a post and even someone came to my base to talk to me... I sent him the info and he just left the group.... very rude.

Basically I run tornado shot, blast rain and a utility shot consisting of frenzy, greater multiple, curse on hit and mark of the assassin. in my other slots I run an ice gollem, a ballista, hatred and blink shot (I won't bother naming all the links)

Now I know I will need to cut this down to fit in more buffs and things later, but I'm really not sure what to cut down. I have developed an entire playstyle based on this build and I love the feel of it.

Any advice? (I can give more info on request, I just don't wanna type to much then be ignored again)

i think this will be great as starter for today :)
i will start with it

With the new changes to Raider would you recommend using Avatar of the Veil instead?

Is this build viable w/o Doomfletch ? Do you an ele bow in that case ?

would voltaxic also work with this build?

and why do we use Drillneck if whe don't have any pierce passives? do i miss anything?
