[1.1.0] Reichan's Traditional LA+EH Ranger // Armor // 3 Auras

======= UPDATE for 1.0.1
I have conducted a lenghty debate with myself over the configuration of the nerfed (balanced) Cast When Damage Taken. I proposed many solutions, most of them rejected. Molten Shell - now useless, Warlord's Mark - useless, Blind - useless, Enduring Cry - contradicts skellies/zombies therefore useless, Animate Guardian weapon - too dangerous, Enfeeble - useless.

Therefore I decided to run the CWDT (maximum lvl 3) with some more skellies, Temporal Chains and Increased duration.

======= UPDATE 3.1 : Tree optimized in terms of balance for lvl 90 (Thanks to Garryl1234 for saving 1 extra point!)

**Still trying to figure out a good 4th gem for Cast on Damage, preferably green. Animate Weapon and Guardian are REALLY fun but...bad, bad idea. Don't use them.



Gems used:
***6L===

***5L===

***3 Auras on Alpha Howl

***Cast on Damage (can't decide 4th)

***A man's best friends - the skellys!


======= UPDATE 2:

I updated some gems in gear.
"Cast on Damage Taken" + Molten Shell + Temporal Chains + [something I haven't decided yet]
This combination works pretty well.

======= UPDATE:
I have tested this build, playing it right now and it works very well. I actually have more life and armour than I had before the release.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to configure "Cast on Damage Taken" - If you have any ideas - feel free to post them :)

================

I've been trying to work out a new tree after the 1.0 release and this is what I came up with. It's not a final build, it hasn't been tested, it's just an idea made this evening over beer and cigarettes - I'm looking for some opinions from other people out here.

After the auras change I decided to skip BM node, I don't have the old Kaom's and therefore I don't think I can afford to reserve life for auras. Moreover it would require many -mana reserve nodes, which I think I can utilize for damage / life or etc. Therefore the main skills - LA and EH go with BM gems.

I also decided to stick with old good Iron Reflexes, I don't trust evasion. I prefer to get hit less instead of risking getting hit less often but with deadly result (remember no old Kaom's, just like many others I suppose).

I still can't clarify whether the "elemental damage with weapons" nodes apply to skill gems or to the elemental damage that is "included" in the weapon mods (e.g Lioneye's has only physical).

I plan to use 2 auras with reduced mana gem on mana pool (probably hatred and grace). I still need info on how many mana reduction nodes are needed to run 3 auras.

I'm leaving some points free for adjustments. Probably for +life and +wed.

Anyway, here's the idea, please post any feedback, suggestions, criticize all you want - it's all for the greater good. Feel free to say I have a bad hairstyle or smelly feet, just leave my tomatoe soup in peace.
