0.9.11 - Burning Arrow Ranger Guide
|
LOVE IT! So compared with your... witch, Shadow, and other Ranger build, which are you leaning towards as a stable, dominant, solo first character?

I'm kinda new to some of the skills, but why do you get a point into the extra Frenzy stack if you aren't using the frenzy skill?
Do you have another item that's generating frenzy charges for you or are you always grouped with someone that generates them for the party? If you could spare 3 points from the build overall you could hit the Blaze for the 5% chance to ignite and another 8% fire damage Last edited by ShadowsCrush#3025 on May 22, 2012, 10:13:28 AM

This sounds really good, but extremely difficult to achieve. I haven't even found any non-mana or hp flasks besides a few vials and a sapphire flask once between all my characters so far.

I tried with the reboot of skill points, having all the gems I thought it was easy... well I just killed my ranger, now I shoot one arrow every half an hour that never cast elemental proliferation, or if it does the radius is so small it does touch any other mobs. indeed I get like 1.9k dps but its so slow I need like 3 arrows to kill one mob in fellshrine... so no idea how he achieved it, but cannot make it :(

Me too. See my post in the elec cannon topic for my new post 0.9.10 build. But it's getting flayed. Not sure if it's my new build or the new patch!
Petrov. Edit: I just realised I'm not sure how the burn effect gets applied? Do you have to crit, so the only way to reliably utilise the burn effect is to pop diamond flasks??? Last edited by mrpetrov#7089 on Jun 6, 2012, 1:57:08 AM

" That's exactly what I was thinking, but with the speed I fire, I kill one mob per flask, so they never reload enough :P Offtopic: Sadly none of my characters has been able to go to chaos for a long time (maybe three wipes or so). Either they never resist or they dont have enough DPS. And farming forever fellshrine doesnt even loot me one 5 link :/ I feel its just getting too difficult to be enjoyed now for the more regular players. IGN: Megawipe

I'm feeling more and more like this build is very challenging to gear for - at least the burn part of it.
If you don't want to be a diamond flask addict, I think you need a high fire damage 5 link bow (Burning Arrow, Added Fire Damage, Elemental Proliferation, Chance to Ignite, Weapon Elemental Damage (and so you can't have LMP/Mana Leech/Faster Attacks?)) with NO cold damage on it or any of your other pieces of kit (very hard to acquire?!). I wonder if it's still a viable build without the burn focus... I'm also wondering if I could use a slightly altered build for a dual wand wielding ranger. Petrov. |

nah burn has nothing to do with crits as far as I can tell, otherwise something like increased burn chance boosting it 25% would be nearly the same as a 25% inc in crit rate if we pretend all you used was fire arrow
and that seems really unlikely plus you can tell just by the damage that you can start a burn on regular hits |
