[2.0] SAM's 48K RoA/Split Arrow + Puncture/Evasion + Herald of Ash

edited, should be visible now :)

It isnt worth now to go with full scion circle (in my opinion at least).

I thought about something like that (that phys ir,unwavering stance, rt build I mentioned earlier, that I made myself after announcing the skill trees for new ladders)


but for now got 4,2k dps with roa @ 17lvl wrath [no quality gems] (77lvl, 254pdps bow, 17lvl roa,addedfire,fa,bm, conc effect) I'm running that (refunded few hp nodes lately, to get more dps, as I felt it's way too low and got ~2500->3400 increase).

Looked at the final build - and yes it is a variation of ZiggyD's RoA build, with a bit less health. Ziggy's build was made for hardcore (potential for 300% life) and has suffered from the patch.

Sam's build here will give you 50% more damage and more life%.

Some paths you have taken are simply too long to be efficient. E.g. I would rather go for Warrior's Blood & Diamond skin than Golems Blood & Diamond flesh.

But anyway, if you want to play an RoA build and do not have a lot of currency, I recommend the build in this thread and invest in a 5L Carcass Jack and later into a 5/6L Lionseye. On the other slots my gear is only "ok", by far not as good as Sam´s and I am already at 13k RoA Damage without quality gems and still missing at least 5-6 damage nodes.

I'm wondering why you take the 8/8/20% accuracy nodes, instead of taking the 20/20 bow accuracy nodes on the wheel of 6 just to the left of that? Seeing as we already took 4 of that wheel

Yep, u're right - thanks for pointing it out, as I could miss it :) It gets more effective now. Can't wait till I reach like 60+ levels with that build :)

Did anybody corrupt his RoA skill gem ? And if yes, when ? Does it make sense ?

this build work in invasion?

I am currently lvling an Invasion character with this spec :)

@DonGod, Nope not yet, I do have a couple of high lvl qualitied RoA gems I can corrupt but haven;t got around to yet. Seeing as it's mostly a one-use per boss encounter kinda skill, I doubt I'd use it much. Too bad about the soul generation thing for all Vaal gems ):

As of I reached 69level (yep, 69) with that build I thought I can do the breakdown I've talked some time ago.

Followed my vision of not picking up crit before 68 (equipping harbinger bow -> ).

I went for a something like that early levels:

I am using your build and loving it. I just recently switched to split arrow instead of RoA. I found my clear speed on maps to be much better with split arrow linked with chain.

I also love the blood dance boots. I didn't think about using it until I saw one of your videos. I managed to get a perfect pair for relatively cheap and the uptime on frenzy is high. That 30% makes a difference.

Have you considered using Rat's nest helm? awesome helm with the extra run speed and attack speed and not to mention up to 75% increased global critical strike chance.

I am sure Sam will weigh in as well, but for me I know I try and limit my "glass cannon" uniques to just 1 per build because you lose HP and resistances. By glass cannon, I mean RatsNest/Maligaros and in this case BloodDance boots. While blood dance boots might not be considered glass cannon, the idea is the same in that you don't get HP or resistances from that slot.

In my build, I use Maligaros. Rat's nest is great too. And for the purpose of this build, Blood Dance are awesome. And since this build relies so heavy on leech, my guess would be dropping HP to add a Rat's nest is not something that would make sense (lesser HP = lesser leech rate).
