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

Why not go for arcing blows? Is it because that becomes too specific for LA?

I have always wanted to try elemental hit. Does it scale well with physical damage nodes? From what i understand, it adds damage to existing physical damage, which then benefits from all the %wed nodes.

Would you also consider grabbing some of the sick wed/hp nodes in the templar region?

I thought about that before. But both the big WED node and Arcing blows in too far in my opinion. Wasting 5 points on nothing just to get to 30% light dmg is way too many. I prefer to take proj. dmg etc. instead.
I meantion im considering going for life nodes in "the circle", but I wouldn't spend 10 points just to get one fat wed node upstairs.
As for EH, it has been working very well for me so far, I have tried other single attacks, but this one seems best for me.

But generally, we can't say if something is or isn't viable just looking at a tree. The only way to find out is to test it. So you can try, compare and see how it works out.

Can you please answer about 3 auras: what exactly is needed?

You have 15% mana reduced reserve + 8% from legendary = 23%, right?
Is it enough for 3 auras and what is minimum lvl of reduced mana i need?

Is it like this:
60%*0.71*0.77 = 32.8% mana reserved for 1 aura? So lvl 20 mana reduced gem is needed?

This is my build can you tell me how many mana reserved % i need and which lvl mana reduced gem ?

To use 3 auras you need:

-- a lv20 reduced mana gem
-- some nodes to reduce 1 aura cost to around 33% (in my case a fat 10% and 5% node near the beginning of the ranger tree)
-- Alpha's Howl

Since you aren't apparently a ranger, you need to search for another suitable node. Of course you can skip Alpha and use more nodes, that's choice.
Note that it will reserve all your mana. Hence the BM gems for all skills.

I can get 16 mana reserved

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAdwB5wUtFCAUcRv6IQIhVSXfJ9Uq9jGeMfsyCTWSNug5DjrhQKBBqkZpR35KyE3jUEdQUFW1WGNYr18_YEthIWVNbEZuaW6qcmxyqXTteA1673uMfNmE2YTvh2qI8YzPkGyZK565ns2kGaZXpzCpbqlzqZSrxaxZtfK9gb6KvqfAD8EExFjG2NJN3D3nY_ZI9zL3vvjr_gr-j7c-QYf56ILHKPrr7riTpwiPRh0U-tIXL2TnVdaApA==

8 points

With alpha howl it's 24%

With 73 mana reduced gem

60%*0.73*0.76 = 33.288

so no 3 auras. With 72 mana gem

60%*0.72*0.76 = 32.8

so it seems with lvl 19 mana reduced gem this will work.

As to BM gems - but look. I "reserve" 1 slot by bm gem and lose 1 mod. But i get 2 auras at least insted, so + 1 mod total.

All i need is to decide is it good to spend 8 points this way and search alpha howl. Maybe i'll get stronger char without 3d aura but with just more hp/dps nodes

just a little advice

what's the point to take heart of the oak and stun recovery if you have unwavering stance?

apart for the 4% life bonus they are useless

The trade here is quite simple:

sacrifice:
1 mod for 1 skill (3 x 1 = 3)
get:
3 mods for all skills (3 x 3 = 9) *or evasion for the character in my case

For me the choice was simple. Sacrificing some small mod like Added Cold Damage to get 3 auras is a good trade.

I can't say if it's viable in your situation because getting mana nodes is a long way for you. You need to think about it...maybe there are some modifications to your tree that you could make to use some skills along the way to mana nodes.

What about a Warlord's Mark or Projectile Weakness added to your Cast on Damage Taken? Would you consider those viable options?

Already asked and explained - 4% life and 1% life regeneration, which is main reason

Yes, I tried them and they are working pretty well. Right now I also added raise spectre which gets rid of the bodies and increases my fps.
