Petrov's Elemental Bow Ranger Build(s) (0.10)

sorry * 3 auras + 1 support

Hi,

I just got into this game like two weeks ago, and I kinda need some help to understand this lightning arrow build. Could you please help me out ? :) I tried to follow what I've read in this topic, but for some reason my dps is still painfully low (266). My goal is to be able to effectively farm the docks and simple lvl 66 maps alone by myself. Could you please help me find where I went wrong with my passive skills and/or my gear ?

I'm ok with the survivability part, I mean, it sucks, but at least I know how to increase it. My main problem is my dps, I can't figure out why it is so low.

I use LA with Chain, Lesser Multiple Projectiles, Life Gain on Hit and passive Blood Magic, and my active auras are Wrath, Grace and Anger. I'm planning to add Added Cold and Lightning damage to LA if I can finally get the right links on my chest armor.

My current items :


My current build :

Take faster attacks instead of chain, try to find some gear with elemental damage (adds 2-20 lighting damage for example). The adding lighting damage gem doesn't give more damage 'cause it need to be linked with a skill gem

I agree.
Re: the lightning dmg support gem. Swap it with Wrath in your boots. Then your Rain of Arrows will do lightning damage. (?)

As per the usual responses to your question: get a better bow. Yours is only averaging 144.15 DPS.

You need a 5l for add weapon elemental damage you need it on Lightning arrow and on your frenzy or elemental hit

That why you dps is to low you dont have weapon ele damage gem with your la.
After if you dps is always very low you need to change your gear, if you cant replace chain n'y faster attacks, but when your dps is not to bad use chain with your la chain its really good.
If you have a

4L La/lmp/weapon ele damage/lig on hit
5L La/lmp/weapon ele damage/life on hit/cmhain
6L La/Lmp/weapon ele damage/life on hit/chain/faster attacks or add lightning with 20%quality(for the bonus chance to Shock)

You need a bow with more damage and change your amulet your is useless, all stat are useless on this amulet for you .
Ring you need flat elemental damage, quiver 30%+ weapon elemental damage &atk speed if you can, belt 30% weapon elemental damage.
And you need hp on all your gear

I did some modifications in build #2 based on many builds that I've seen...
I have plans to get the life nods from Fitness, and get the 2 life nods from templar tree, that I didn't take yet.
Also, after that... I have 2 options:

1) go near marauder with 6 points to get:
# +40 Strenght (path)
# +15% elem resist
# +20 STR + 30 Life

2) get the equivalent in some spare nods near my tree
# +6% elem resist (near inner force) [1 point]
# +10% elem resits +20% Armour +20% max energy shield (near catalyse) [3 points]
# +6% elem resist (near beginning, left from Thick skin) [2 points]

What do you guys think about it all?

Thanks.

bumping-me =D
Thanks!

Hey Ohm. Going down to the Templar start for the extra ele damage nodes is absolutely a tradeoff you can make. To my mind, the key is whether you're happy to trade off the extra life nodes that are the opportunity cost for your build. At c.90 points you don't have many life nodes - which is fine - it's just a personal preference for dps vs survivability.

Your build is heavily favoured towards dps.

It's hard to comment on which final route you should take - because it's so dependent on our gear. Clearly if you are already maxed res, then... etc etc

Hi everyone. I have a question.

I am level 60, I have finished the Mara tree and I'm ready to move up. However, I am curious about where to go.

Originally I was going to go up and hit Fitness, through to Catalyse and then Discipline and Training. But now I am thinking I should rush to Static Blows to give my damage output a jump.

I have about 2300 HP and I don't have a problem keeping my HP up. My resists are pretty good, all are over 60% in Merci. I am doing decent damage, but I want MORE!!! Although I don't want to sacrifice survivability.

So, what do you guys think? Here is my build so far. Thanks for any input!

i need some help
here is my current gear


just crafted this bow.

tree



right now my dps is very low , about 1100 - 1200 on la and i feel very weak when doing maps
and i got about 3100 life.
should i go iron grip? should i get some damage nodes or life?
should i try crafting a bow? if yes so what should i look for , what ilvl? sockets, links? price?

Get a 5L Armor with Health and at least double res, the one you are currently wearing is not going to help you much. If you do have the currency to blow you can always try to get a 5L on your thicket bow but unless you're lucky you can usually get one cheaper than what it would cost you to get a 5L.
Your gloves aren't bad but they aren't great either, if you can get some with attack speed that would be nice. Maybe also get a better amulet, the only thing it has is the 17% lightning damage increase, try get ones with flat ele dmg and some other stats that are helpful to you. If you think you need the int you can always put a point into a +30 int node in your tree that is easily accessible for you.

Also, don't spec into iron grip, from my personal experience it gave me like 100 dps and you're pretty much wasting 5 points on dex nodes to get there. If you really need only the damage you can get Perfect Aim right at the start of your tree, it isn't much but better than going to Iron Grip.

Another thing you can do is 4L either your gloves or helmet and link your auras with a reduced mana gem. It'll give you 100hp extra fairly quick. Downside is that getting the right colors burns through chroms since you need RRBG
