[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

I'm currently 94 with this build, and I'm unsure where I would start putting high level talents. Would you recomend going for another jewel socket,, or would going into the ranger area for proj damage be better? Or maybe there is something else that i'm missing. Let me know what you think.

Blood Rage gives insane leech.

Ah cool, didnt realize blood rage + life leech from nodes etc would be that insane. I guess the dmg from barrage with add. arrows makes up for it together.


I was thinking if it would be worth it to skip slower projective gem and add a poison support gem instead? And instead of using snakebite, would winds of change be a good choice?
Would it be better overall?

Im making this build in HC and i was thinking omg,it will be a pain to use frenzy to get the charge up everytime. The thing is,it became quite automatic to me. Plus frenzy actually kill stuff. So whenever i see random mob or something weak i spam frenzy. It dies,i get charge. pewpew more. It goes pretty fast. I dont think more dps is need at all. Shaper got pwned with a white bow :) .

The cospri will version needs you to be upclose to actually poisons. (cause blasphemy) . The way it works with the original version,your one shotting shit or poisoning them offscreen (kinda) . The other way would be to use curse on hit glove. But then you would waste an attack to put the curse and then it would poison.

Other then that,i would personnaly buy curse on hit glove with enfeeble or tempchains (cause im hardcore) or VULN for sc. But thats out of my budget for now. We will see how it goes,running around with reach makes me nervous cause i dont like using expensive stuff :).

guys using bloodrage gives you "chance to get a frenzy charge on kill" which is totally enough to keep up frenzies for normal mapping.

you barely need to use frenzy in maps unless you spend 5 minutes to pick up loot after every pack lol

@cmphx how do you think, will this build/chaos dmg nerfed in next patches? I just want to try new build, but aiming on the next league.
P.S. Sorry for mistakes (if i did). My english is bad.

I hope/think that double dipping will get removed with 3.0.0, so in June (?) - but it will bring a complete rebalance to it so I cant really tell what will happen, but the build will probably not be as good as it is now. I don't think there will be severe changes next league

a few suggestions, you really dont need dmg in your LA setup so once you reach a good lvl of dps you can just switch out dmg gems for utility (im using fast attacks and innervate for free onslaugh right now) and still 1 shot packs with LA.

also, whats your barrage dps? i know it doesnt matter since it doesnt include anything but i wanna know to compare to mine, im at 9k at hideout, using a 6l, your tree and this jewelery but my dmg feels kinda meh agains guardians

Guys what can i improve? This is my gear and skill tree i am lv 83 with 4.6k hp and 20k evasion with grace.

I heard so much about the greatness of this build so that Imma try by this point of the league :)
Just one question. I wanna try a range of body armours like Belly of the Beast or Perfect Form on this build.
Is Belly of the Beast fit for this build? cuz I wanna raise my life pool as much as possible. Would it affect to much on the evasion rate that this build aims on?

Sorry in advance if this is a frequent question in this thread, 234 pages of comments are a bit much to go through.

What about Point Blank? Would only take 2 passives to get it and gives up to 50% more damage. Logic tells me, sacrificing 2 5% life nodes (for example in the scion life wheel) would be worth it but maybe I am missing something.

Or maybe I over prioritize it because I used it in my last bow build and it was an insane boost when you stand close to a boss and use Barrage. But I don't think I do, because this double dips our poison damage too...
