[1.0.5] - Lvl 100 - Blastrophe's LA / Frenzy Life Based Crit Ranger w Video (Lioneyes or Voltaxic)

Congrats on hitting Level 100 :D

Is it viable to get just a point before Blood Magic and then start building the rest of the build? I only have about 1.3k HP so getting BM is obviously a bad choice.
i am lvl 75 with this build and its realy nice so far. I have one question thought. I see other shadow guides, with reave or flicker strike. Anyway whats the matter with the huge dps difference than your build? i see some screenshots with like 100-300k dps. What gives?

Most other skills have high tooltip which is accurate but LA does the same or maybe even more area damage as those because of its chain ability. You basically hit 36 times if you are using LMP + Chain and with a crit its hitting 36 times with your base damage + your crit multiplier so damage is pretty damn high aswell.

Can I hold off getting Blood Magic and just build the rest? I only have 1400 or so HP and haven't gotten Life Leech yet.

[Edit] How exactly is one using Frenzy? Are you just holding down the key and spamming it? or using it a couple times and then just auto-attacking?

Hold off getting blood magic till you can up your HP and use life leech. With frenzy you just use it against rares when everything else is dead or if you want to kill a dangerous rare with a certain aura.

First off - congrats on 100 and thank you so much for the build and the consistent forums updates. I just came back to the game and was sad to see that the Elemental LA build was no longer viable.

Like many, I'd like some advice on gear and where would be the main focus to help increase my damage. I'm doing the Library and Archives relatively well, but killing is oh so slow and I can't survive a Piety run.

My thoughts are to focus on the bow and try and change that out first before anything else. I'm hoping for opinions and any glaring mistakes I've made.

Thanks!

Hi, i plan on running the build with a 5L Lionseye and a 5Link chest, since i can neither afford Voltaxic nor Kaoms Heart.
What i would like to know is how big of an upgrade thunderfists would be, considering i could just use added lightning damage in my 5L Chest. The gloves i would use instead are Maligaro's Virtuosity.

TL;DR: how important are the "100% increased Shock Duration on enemies" on thunderfists?

oh and thanks for an awesome guide! :)

You need to upgrade your bow quiver and amulet. The bow needs more base damage and or a higher crit base. The amulet and quiver need crit multiplier and or crit chance if you can get it. Life is a +
