Celerity

Reflect Physical Damage
Spoiler

Physical to Lightning gem.
Use Warlord's Mark curse.
Use granite flasks.
Use Blackgleam quiver. Asphyxia may be enough but Blackgleam is safer.
Lightning Coil pretty much becomes mandatory when you get a nice bow.
You can use Trap; I think it pretty much defeats the purpose of using a bow though.

I've been spamming maps with this build. Easy. I'll add some more videos eventually. Going to add a couple leveling gem combinations then the build will be considered done.

I can answer questions. I also accept praise for the sexy passive tree.

Tested out some 6 link combos. Currently using BM - WED/LL.

-exchange 20% bow crit chance with trickery nodem maybe you can deselect a +30 int node

-do you really need the movement speed from the avatar of the hunt nodes?
I would rather pick the projectile damage nodes from the shadow or the heavy draw bow damage nodes.

-at the prowess node is a useless +10 dex node selected.

-are the piercing nodes really superior to pure damage nodes?

just my thoughts because i'm currently doing a very similar build.

Wouldn't your tree be more sexy if you approached Mind Drinker and Blood Drinker from the other side and saved a point?

I'd also rather go for Depth Perception instead of Weathered Hunter and get some more resists on gear.

Your current gear does not include blood dance ... Do you have a special use for the frenzy charges other than the attack speed? If not, I'd rather take attack speed nodes instead. For example not taking the 8% attack speed node at ranger start almost has to be a mistake.

You should also check if Trickery can replace a 30 int node.

I got a question...I am following this build,I am lvl 49 ranger and I have 1k dps right now on Frenzy.But I have one issue.Because my attack speed is super fast,I run out of mana fairly quick.Is there a solution to this ? A gem,node,something like that ?

Frenzy is one of the highest mana costs. The passive mana leech node is usually enough for most builds. You may not have enough damage yet. So on to suggestions.

Don't level frenzy.
Use blood magic gem.
Use mana leech gem.
Use mana potions.
Take a support gem off.
Switch to Warlord's Mark curse. (Maybe poacher?)

*Edit* I forgot to mention that your total mana affects how much you can leech. You have to do the math on your own because your numbers will be unique to your character.

Some things to consider. I have been trying all sorts of gem combinations (tabula rasa). Some +30 nodes may not be needed once you decided which gems you will use.

The main point of those nodes is 10% physical. As you can see I already have the heavy draw and shadow nodes on the more leveled up tree.

I do not see an useless dex node.

I think pierce is going to depend on which gems you want to use. I took pierce out of tornado shot and did not notice much. Split arrow would have been a different story.

*Edit* I made the trickery change. Though it is a leveling thing, so eventually you get both nodes.

Sorry person, my passive tree has changed for my current gear. The idea at first was to get the extra power charge; that is why I went up the right side. I probably should change it though since I don't actually tell them to take the charges -_-.
