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

P.

Yeah, I'm actually needing a lot of suvivability... I'm at 70 right now. 89 points spended.
My tree: OhmRaveR's skill tree

I got the 1% life res from templar, and my next 4 points is going to fitness. I will be 74, then.
My build is a lot near your build #2, but I did was dont going over marauder start (with a tons of HP and 15% res) to get 31% elem damage + 10% elem resist over the templar tree...

What I see is that I do need more res... so, from 74 to 80 I have 6 points to spend, and 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]

Basicaly I have to choose between:
+60STR +15%Elem Resist +30 Life
OR
+22%Elem resist +20% Armour

My guess is the marauder path worths more...
What do you guys think?

I'm thinking also the problem of res is just a gear problem,
Well... maybe, check it out:

ps: don't be scared about gems, cause im using a farm gear and they're all messed up. haha

i got 5 sockets chest with health and triple res and i used about 60 fusing to get it 5 links and no success yet.
i know i need better amulet but i am using this one now because it gives me int.
so what should i do about dps? got 3 points to spend.
should i keep this bow for now or try to craft it more?

Hi, sorry to repeat myself but I really need to know...

What are the optimal 2 blue attributes to have on my bow before turning it into a rare? (or even the top 5 attributes) for an elemental LA ranger. Thanks :)

Attack Speed
And
Flat elemental damage
Or
% physical damage

Would the Elemental Build be viable with a Deaths Harp?

My assumptions are that it would be, with the extra arrow.

Also, how does the "Most Popular" build handle Merciless difficulty?

IMHO, Death Harp has not enough DPS. Most popular build with right gears has no problem in Merciless or mapping.

In end game a good ticket/impérial is really really better than death harp , but the death harp
Skin is the best of unique ^^

...I have 5 passive points saved which I could use to go for the 3 elemental damage nodes near the Ranger start area, but I have put that off until now - I have noticed that I can also use those 5 passive points to go for Iron Grip.

- So basically I am in a position where I can use 5 passive points to either get :

A. 30% elemental damage + 20 DEX

OR

B. Iron Grip + 10 STR + 30 DEX
...

Any recommendations?

I would choose A. Tried Iron Grip but it raised DPS a little only. Some say take Iron Grip only if you have very high physical damage bow.

+30% Elemental Damage is alot.
