Can you post your passive skill tree sometime? Ive been reading your guide and its pretty solid so far but no mention about points allocation

It's there actually. Click the word Build, it's a link.

LOL sorry I didn't see it at the time, thanks

SO jelly of your swords. I'm at like 8k Dual 5500 Cleave. I don't have too much of an issue solo'ing chaos with a leecher or two. Haven't really tried more than that. This build worked really well. Do you get a lot of bonus dmg from the elemental increases? I was wondering what to aim for on rings/neck. Was looking for leech/IAS mostly. Since we seem to rely a lot on that based on all our skills. I could see how ele would increase based on the aura/convert to frost skill points. Wondering how much compared to IAS. Something I think I'll try vice versa. Edit: Also noticed you picked up Armour Master. What's the feedback on that?

I assume you're running blood rage 100% of the time? I'm sitting on like 3700 HP with Kaom's and Blood Rage eats about half my HP if I stay out of combat 12 seconds. Have to be careful with that. I feel like we are built to never stop. Stopping actually lowers our survivability. I love how this build is 100% efficient on 50 mana. You should have more (prob around 100-150 available depending on gear) but it still works at around 50.

Things to watch out for on this build are flicker strike mobs (Ghost Pirates), Physical Reflect, Molten Shell Goats, and any dmg increasing rares (crit, sub dmg, speed) with a pack of blues attached at the hip. Certain combos of rares together will always be a problem but that's static for most builds. I find those flicker pirates to be the biggest PITA.

This build should be called Best Defense is a Good Offense. The idea is you stack a massive amount of HP on top of a bunch of life leech/IAS and you leech to survive. Stop attacking and die. It's a fun build. I see more and more people looking for rapiers, so it seems to be gaining popularity. Glad to see it.

@swangin

BTW this build can be used on duelist and u can avoid useless shield block and get hp regen passives for be imune to blood rage, wonder that no1 tryed it and duelist most unplayeble class. Want to make counter for this build after get 78 lvl, but cant figure what better axe+bow witch or dw scepters duelist =\

Hey, can you check your PMs? Thanks <3

UPD added link to russian version of guide.

Added more high lvl oriented version of build.
-10 str +6 IAS, +6% manapull, +10% acuracy.

Stop exping and gearing this ranger for a while.
Making new modification of this build that i call "melee ranged tanky assasin any skill user witch" where i trying remove weapon specialisation and keep survive and dps stats.
