Nothing new here...sry to post that, but we have serveral builds around here who cover your build. Only differences to other build are

IR or Evasion: Personel Preferences (5-6 Regrets for respecing)
SA or RoA: Personel Preferences (Just switch 1-2 Gems)

conclusion: Pretty much unnecessary....

sry bro, not flaming here ...just pointing out ^.^

No offence taken :) Indeed that it's not much difference than many builds, as phys bow builds have been optimised quite a bit :) I created this thread so I can post my build, and modify it should any balance changes happen through GGG and I can update my build accordingly :)

hello, could you please advise how do you handle the physical damage reflecting map? i am using almost same build with you and at level 83, i found the physical damage reflecting is really annoying, if i made two critical strikes with Frenzy in a roll, and they are all reflected back, i would kill myself instantly.

If you're using LG, unfortunately there is not a lot you can do against Phys Reflect. I don't do Phys Reflect mobs :P However, Phys Reflect mobs are alright. I have enough HP and Eva to survive for awhile even when I'm not leeching.

What I do is I try to get hit so I can build up End charges from my CWDT (or I take CWDT off and manually cast Enduring Cry) then with 3 End charges and Immortal Call, I have over 3 seconds of immunity which is more than enough for me to kill the mob with the Phys Reflect aura :)

I disagree that this thread's unnecessary. Just last week there were only two up-to-date Rain of Arrows-specific builds on the forum, and they were both very different from linkstatic's. This week some new threads popped up, but the tree in this thread, aside from maybe two keystone passives (Herbalism and, to a much lesser extent, Clear Mind), showcases the most streamlined RoA Acrobatics Ranger that I have played. While it may be similar to many Split Arrow topics, I'm glad to see a writeup about RoA.

Did you mean to say "mods" there, linkstatic? I also avoid physical reflect on maps like the plague! Just reroll. Of course, you can still die from surprise physical reflect if you're not careful. I love it when a mob emerges from the mud and you fire upon it before the game reveals that there's a rare monster in the center with physical reflect... I've died too many times from this for it to be funny.

Yes I mean Phys Reflect mods sorry :P Phys Reflect mobs I still smack to death for loot :P

Added some videos of Piety and Dom (77 and 78 map respectively) :) Any feedback would be much appreciated :D

I'm loving this build so far, I had a old LA build at level 65 and wanted to try out a RoA build so I re-speced It, bought a 5l Lioneye's and It was probably one of the best decisions I've made. This build Is awesome so far. My only problem Is my res (and that has nothing to do with the build Itself, I'm just out of currency and can't afford anything else). Once I can fix my res problems I'm sure I'll enjoy this build even more. I do have one question though, with the new league coming up do you think that this build would be viable there? With It being a new economy and everything I wouldn't be able to just go and buy some good gear. Thanks for putting this build up, I'm really enjoying It.

Hi! Glad you're enjoying the build :D With the new leagues, the economy is given a refresh, in that good gear/uniques will always start out lower priced as usual as there aren't many who can afford it yet. People looking for a quick buck will sell these items at a much lower price, as that's all the market is prepared for.

I'm sure with a little more cautious playing, you can do fine in the new leagues :)

As requested by a fellow Ranger who PM'd me, I have updated the build with my CWDT links, and a video of Jungle Valley :)

Youtube is giving me a lot of problems so there's only the stream footage for now :)

Youtube vid is out for those who prefer it :D

Switched my build a little, trying things out without Phase Acrobatics and seeing how I fare.

Current build :

Been playing with this build on my Ranger, and I really like how Evasion works! I've got much lower HP but enough for the low level maps I do.

I have tried removing Phase Acrobatics but I believe it is not worth it. Every single spell now hits which hurts a tonne. GMP Palace Dominus? Extremely hard without Phase. Evangelists and double Labyrinth boss? Really hard without Phase. Going back to Phase Acrobatics again ^^
