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

Updated with optimized tree and gems used. All comments still welcome.

Hello, did you figure out the 4th gem with Cast when Damage Taken? And are there any other options except the skeletons+spell totem, how is decoy totem + curses or something like that?

Well, I guess you can choose anything as the 4th cast on dmg gem. Any curse will do - can be warlod's mark, enfeeble, anything that makes the mobs around you weaker. Hell, you can put the skeletons as the 4th gem, why not.

I don't feel like decoy totem works that well. Usually enemies kill the totem in 2 seconds. Skeletons are virtually immortal since they die and spawn constantly. And they look funny.

Generally I think you should choose the additions that suit you best. Try them out, test for some time and see what's best for your play style.

Minor optimization for the version 2.0 tree. If you come up to the Charisma cluster from above/the right side, rather than directly from below, you can save 1 passive point. You lose 10 Int, but you can get +30 Int with Thieves Craft using the free point if you really want it.

That's a very good observation, this way one precious point can really be saved. Thank you very much for this advice, I will update the main post with this correction. Though I think intelligence seems useless for me cause only skellys need it. We can use this point for WED. Cheers :)

You have 11 points left over. What would you put those on? :)

The road to lvl 100 is a long way so now I have time to think about it.

Most probably 3 points would go to WED.
I'm also considering rerouting south area and taking Ice Bite since I'm using Hatred aura. Arcing Blows seems too far to go.
Another option would be to boost survival instead of dps and go all the "life" way to Path of the Warrior.

If you have any other ideas, feel free to post them.

Hi,

Could you advise what kind of gearing would be good while leveling up mid game? (Level 50+)

Apart from the resistances of course, i was mainly curious about bows.

Should i aim for pure physical damage bows with % WED?

What about quivers?

Mid- or End- game, we always look for the same mods in gear: +Life, +res +wed +attack speed and +phy dmg. The more the better. Simply put - if you find something that makes your dps higher, use it. Physical bow seems best for LA that's true, but ele won't hurt so much I guess.

As for rings/amulets, use +resistances +life for survival or +rarity for farming. DON'T use +all attributes - for amu only +str or rarity makes sense. Of course unless the random rolls are so good that implicit ceases to matter.

Sell me all your gear. ;). Nice guide btw. Been following it.
