IllustriousDjinni's Elemental Spectral Throw Ranger Hardcore Viable Build (Buzzsaw) 2.0 patch!

Why no Profane Chemistry?, combined with Herbalism, you can get some pretty ridicilous regen flasks to tank any continuous damage

You can take it if you like. You only have a certain number of points to spend and I decided that I would rather have more 5% life nodes than 3% ones. The life leech of the build means I tend to not use flasks too much either.

Have a 5l Belly... tried this build with a belly yet?

Nope, I haven't tried it. It could work well. Certainly better than Lightning Coil if you want to look cool.

You run the Blood Magic Support gem, but you have the Blood Magic keystone in the passive tree. Which is it? I'm assuming you would use the support gem.

I don't have the Blood Magic keystone. You may be looking at Resolute Technique. Definitely use the support gem. You can't really run auras using the keystone.

That's a good one. Almost completed Cruel so far without being stuck, nearly 1.400 dps at 51. Piety got one transform then died, was kinda fast. Feels a bit squishy but I'm not playing careful nuff and my eva rating is sucky sucks. Thanks to IDj for the guide, pretty comprehensive.

just a quick question.

what is the point this build is starting to do damage? iam at ~4k dps and it feels like nothing. dunno, maybe at 68 it will be a bit better when i can use my new weapon, but atm it is just sooo slow to progress through a map

i mean, survival feels like nothing, but i thought that befor starting, so thats not a problem. movement is ok. but dmg is just non existent. your screen shows ~7k dps and i hope that it feels way more than it looks like, because atm i would say at 7k dps lvl 66 maps feel good.

to compare, i raced through a 66 map in 3-4 minutes with a lvl 62 tornado shooter with like 1,5k dps, so thats why iam wondering?


hope its understandable :D

Hey, love the build I'm currently 71 in Bloodlines.

I am using Belt of the deceiver for the 30% reduced crit damage as the only difference.

My question is where are you getting all your int for the Wrath / Herald of Thunder? I have a 52 int umulet and 40 int ring to help me sustain those gems.

Thanks for the guide!

Nice build
