[1.0.x] [Nemesis/HC] BlackDivine's Rain of Arrows - Updated 13th Feb

Updated my gear as I got upgrades. Got an ok 6Link Thicket, and decent Head gear + Boots.
Started doing easy 66 maps having loads of fun. Can solo them. Faced the orchard map boss and ____ SHIT! barely survived. Never do it unless level 80 even though it's a 66 map :P

Better yet vendor 3 of them for a nice 67 map.

i am lvl 79 ranger and started to buy regrets for crit build, ur build was very nice in low mid and partly in high lvl, but i stuck now, i got a decent bow but dmg is too low in common.

its not a big deal btw for a lvl 77 ranger to solo lvl 66 maps, i did this on other server with crit build bow ranger with no probs, even earlier lvl

Hi !
You've an interesting build and I'd like to roll a new char because of it.
A question: is it worth to take 18% increased phy damage from bandit reward ?
I planned to use RoA and frenzy as the main skills.
Thanks ! :)

It's worth it if you plan to use a pure phys rare bow, or Lioneyes.

Yes it's no big deal to solo lvl 66 maps. I can solo 67 maps now and I am 76 lvl. But Orchad boss is another thing :) go ask people a bit.

Also you need to run at least 2 auras (which you can easily just from Reduced mana gem) for this build. But I am glad you had fun with this :) GL!

If I'm not really having mana problems because of something like atziri's foible, should i go blood magic anyways and get an ammy with resists/damage? or should i just spec around the life wheel and move on from there

This is pretty situational, if you have resists from other gear pieces then you can use Atziri's. But getting bloodmagic will really ease the progression until you get a 6Link.

I added point blank node, started running wrath, anger and grace with blood magic gem on rain of arrows, then I got a Chin Sol, and became a melee range rain of arrows build. -_-

Not what I intended to do with this build, but good DPS bows cost way too much and Chin Sol was the cheapest biggest upgrade I could get.

Level 81 with 16k armor and 75% all resists except Chaos. DPS around the 10k range in melee range.

Another option if you feel stuck with this build like I did.

What do you guys think about the build I made for my needs.


Some info about these choices. I'm running in party with my culler mf support friend who has 6 Auras running: Grace, Determination, Vitality, Purity of Elements (also lvl20 each element for different maps if needed), these are main auras which are always on, and then depending our group he changes some. I took BM since I don't run auras, but if I run solo I have 40% less mana reserved + reduced mana gem for grace which is fine, since I only solo Piety, not maps.

That is really a good alternative, just few more points and you can always respec out of Point Blank when you get a better bow :)

Could be the way I might be going with it or ele split arrow crit, but knowing I'll never buy a Koams Heart will pose a challenge on the harder maps obviously running a melee RoA. Are you IR or Acrobatics?

Also your DPS might be higher than what tool tip lists, it doesn't take into account the Chin Sol 100% more damage at close range unless you've somehow calculated that to be 10k then never mind lol.
