Glad to hear that. Get that alpha's going so you can run 3 auras soon.

Hey there, just checked out your build, which seems rly nice ^^
Though some days ago i came up with almost the same build, here it is:

So I'm mostly confused about going RT and I'm not quite sure if I'll have enough damage lategame (anyway it can be respec'd pretty easily). On the other hand, I don't quite understand, why you're not going for Unwavering - yeah, no evade, but I'm really afraid of stunlocks and w/e.

One more thing, I've noticed, that you run poison arrow (not sure if just for leveling it), I think running ice shot with LMP might be a good idea, since it gives some crowd control, which ranger lacks.

TL;DR: What do you think of Resolute, Unwavering, my approximate dps and LMP Ice shot?

Your build is built around physical damage only which is a good thing if you have currency for Lioneyes late game or are sure that you will. Also you have 290% Increased HP which is nice for nemesis, but not mandatory, anything above 200% will work. The more the better. But if you are min/maxing then aim for 250% HP and then try to get as many damage nodes as possible.

My build aims to be best on both, you get high ele bow it will work nicely but ele reflect will be dangerous, you get lioneyes/high phys bow it will be same awesome stuff but your damage would be both phys and ele and reflect would be a bit safer.

As for RT and Unwavering, I never find it a problem to hit a mob, i miss around 1 hit in 10 which is very ok for me to spend points to go to RT, and with my HP pool (5k with my OK gear linked above) I never get stun locked, i never even get stunned often. Just a hit from kole or a crit from a rare sometimes but not really a problem.

Also I had poison arrow left as i want it to level and then Q20 lvl 1 it :) not that i use it. But on a very very rare occasion when you are scared shitless from some boss then you can painfully poison arrow from distance and you know..

so I like your variation and it seems right, more tankier but literally begging for lioneyes :) let me know how it goes for you. GL!

Assuming in a pure physical build with a 6L Lioneye's, wouldn't aura priority be Grace and Hatred, and Wrath third? The 6L being RoA + Faster Attacks + Conc Effect + Blood Magic + Life Leech + Added Fire Damage. I don't have a levelled Wrath to try on, but my build has 0 ele damage nodes, hence going Added Fire instead of Weap Elemental Damage.

You are right my lad :)

Still can't decide if this is a good build or not. The last build I followed on the forums got me laughed at by a buddy.

Haha, show this build to your buddy then and let me know what he thinks :) If he can improve this build I would be most grateful.

Can you post offence/def stats screenshots?
Isn't rain lacking dps?
I'm currently torn between rain of arrows and split crit build for Nemesis, what do you think?
