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

Hey, nice update of your final build. I don't agree with everything (like going all the way up on right for the aura reduction and effect) but overall I like it. Just one thing you could consider, is changing the reduced mana node on left side of iron grip to the reduced mana just above berserking. You free up 2 points which can be used either in additional reduce right behind the first 5% reduce above berserking or anywhere else. I assume you aren't after the 12% increased aura radius...


A question just popped up in my mind:
Is the physical dmg increase from iron grip (lets say ~20% because of 200 str) the same the physical damage increase from the aspect of the eagle node? I mean is the mechanic how it is calculated into your dmg the same?
I'm wondering as with my current level I can't take all the nodes from the endgame tree and I am thinking which gives me more dps, iron grip or the nodes around aspect of eagle? The increase seems to be way higher with the aspect thought...


edit: forget the first part, I misread the nodes, its reduced mana cost -.-

Thanks a lot for this build.
I'm making one as we speak, hopefully this is a good alternative to the marauder roa build that was nerfed a while ago :)

I've made a few modifications here and there but this build has really helped me out. Thanks much for the guide :).

whats a good single target skill for this build ?

you can use frenzy, burning arrow, ice shot, etc. I also see people suggest elemental hit but I have never used it myself.

atm I'm leveling both frenzy and burning arrow. I usually only use burning arrow as the gem is higher level and does more dps even when frenzy has 3 charges.

How do you feel about taking the 20% Accuracy + 8% Projectile dmg nodes instead of the Evasion and Life nodes right at the start of the ranger tree??

If I'm planning on going LA, wouldn't it be better to take the +24% projectile dmg path since it affects elemental dmg aswell?

Hello!

I'm playing on standard league and I'm level 31. I'd like to know what should I trade for... Since standard is a lot easier, I'd like to know what points I should get instead of all those life nodes...

Any suggestions?

Also, why Iron Reflexes? Is armor > evasion later on? Besides, should I get Aspect of the Eagle/Ballistic Mastery (they're at the right of the Ranger start)?

Currently on level 31. I'm having a hard times with this build right now: mana problems and low damage (RoA 100 dps, Burning Arrow 200 dps). Resis and life is fine but advancing is farily difficult with this low damage output and low mana pool.

If you got no decent equipment and you are too poor to buy some, like i am, this is build is not good.

Way too dependant on good gear. Dunno if i will still keep playing this. Just no fun being undergeared.

@op, can you maybe post your current gear?

120 of 120 points allocated in the passive tree. how many people actually reach lvl 100 in this game? 0,0% yes no one.

be realistic and provide a tree for a real reachable lvl. like lvl 75-85. this is just bogus.
rest of the stuff here looks good.

if you don't have good gear it's better to level up with spells. spells always do the listed damage no matter if your gear is bad. fire traps or freezing pulse are both good and easy.
later when you are higher level you can purchase a decent bow and start playing your real build.
