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

I have just one simple question, why aren't you using Faster Projectiles instead of Faster Attacks? It has a lower MCM (5% ain't too much but whatever), provides some extra damage and has even more projectile speed than FA has attack speed. According to the PoE Wiki projectile speed works with RoA too.

Maybe there is some point I just don't get but it seems to me that not using FP isn't very clever at all.

FP will just increase the time your RoA take to hit actual target, will not increase your attack speed. The meager increased damage from it is Meh compared to 40-50% inc attack speed from FA from late game.

Since you run ele auras and have some ele damage here and there (rings/bows/quiver/ammy) and it scales extremely well with FA.

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?

Defence stats I can post :) for offence I am waiting for getting my hands on 6L Lioneyes, ATM I am doing 6k Tooltip RoA damage without any party auras(except my anger + wrath). With party having haste, hatred I get to ~8k.

Rain of Arrows - 8,830 DPS
Frenzy - 10,788 DPS

Auras - Grace, Hatred, 6 Frenzy charges





Offensive and Defensive stats






This with very HP heavy gear and build. I rather survive than do a lot of DPS and potentially die.

So you mean I can cast the skill more often, just like cast speed would do on other spells?

Yes :) The faster you attack, the more damage you do in the same amount of time, although resource drain goes up as well.

Added FAQs section. Just one for now.

Sorry to nudge, this guide is great but all the talent trees in the first post need to be corrected. Cannot see the passive tree any more.

A replica of the level 80 build. there's 2 less nodes in the life wheel and 1 less node in evasion wheel to get reflexes. either put 2 into the 8% health nodes(under the starting ranger position/icon) and 1 into evasion node in the wheel or do what you want with them. every other node is in the exact same spot.

I just copied link location and pasted into a pre patch version of the PAssive Skill Tree Planner from poetools. though I assume they've replaced it with the newer version by now, which is unfortunate since this is one of the best uses for that tool, using older versions to check older builds that is.
