lol how can you really compare Heavy Strike and Rain of Arrows? completely different skills....Heavy Strike has basically double the damage effectiveness and isn't even an AoE skill. Maybe you come from a melee background like myself and aren't used to running a ranged character? Maybe wait for some better items to drop/trade or spec into some DPS nodes. Also Poison Arrow seems to be really effective especially with LMP.

Anyways I've been inspired to make this build with some small changes to it to fit the gear I already have. Mostly based around self found items like Carcass Jack, some decent physical damage bows etc. I don't want to put a lot currency into this build just yet.

Made it to lvl 29 lastnight and heres the funny thing I decided to see how far I can go without putting ANY points into the passive tree just for kicks. Got to Sarn, killed Vaal no problem just took a bit longer - 0 deaths so far, I'm laughing.



Actually I play a mix of either ranged aoe or melee.. Heavy strike + Melee splash = aoe, and if you look at my previous post I mentioned groundslam tripling RoA damage. From some research I spose you could take alot more nodes directed towards buffing RoA damage, but this will weasel with your life nodes required for Nemesis. Problem I have with that is again, any of those melee aoe require very little node damage to have their damage bumped up. I feel like RoA might need to be babied by a boat load of them. I also traded for a bow that was a huge upgrade from what I had and still not much of a bump for RoA. Pretty cool skill don't get me wrong but seems like it requires abit to much for my taste to actually do work.

Normal is a joke for difficulty.

I am confused........

In the first passive build you show that you took "Beef" right next to wisdome of the glade.

but in the other ones 50-80 etc you do not have it shown as taken. I have already taken this, i am wondering if i should use one of my reset points to take it off ?

been following your guide step by step . how are you finding the right gear? I can not seem to be able to find any gear like you have posted.

Cheers



In the beginning, you may need more str to satisfy the str requirements of gems you may be using. Therefore, you get the +30 str node. Later on, when you get more str from traversing to the templar area or duelist area, you will not need it and you can respec that point out and put it somewhere more useful. +30 str/int/dex nodes are situational so it is really up to you whether or not you need it. It's not something that would break your build completely.

I use frenzy on mine. RoA is strong later on and can replace frenzy as single target as well. But I believe that's at like...... 5 or 6 link which takes awhile to get to unless you're loaded with currency.

Some people use burning arrow or elemental hit too. It's your choice tho.

Well first off im new myself but i can see some things wrong right away.

1. you have gear that has energy shield on it. switch out for pure evade
2. you need more resists + life gear. Not life on hit but actual Life +
3. i am not sure about your bow.. i have one that has a lot of normal dmg.

My character is pushing lvl 48 and im not having hardly any issues at all.
Here is my gear to give you a idea. Its nowhere the best but its the best i have atm.

I realize my gear is not optimal, sadly since I am playing solo self found I haven't been able to get an upgrade in like 15 levels....it's pretty ridiculous actually.

Not sure why RNG hates me so much. Is it bad that I am still in normal act 3 at level 36?

Dude you're level 35 with probably a 200~ mana pool. Do you really think you can support a 4 Link RoA when I'm doing fine with a 300 DPS ROA+Conc Effect @ the same level as you? Drop that crap bow, buy yourself a Death's Harp or some cheap Grove Bow with Phys dmg. I mean it's pretty stupid to link a 4L with a small mana pool and then ask for help. If you're running out of mana on a 4L, it probably means you're overkilling. And if you're not doing enough damage with a 4L AND running out of mana, it means your weapon sucks dick. Use common sense.

500~ DPS Rain of arrows with hatred.

EDIT: Retired the character. Traded for a 150 more DPS bow than what I had and got rain of arrows to 650DPS. My heavy strike at level 13 with limb splitter does 314. 50% of rain of arrows damage.. at level 13.


lol! You link RoA with BM, LL, and Faster Attacks and wonder why you're not doing any DPS. Here's a tip buddy: read the OP's guide again and see what his 4L setup is. And even then I wouldn't even use Life Leech if I'm killing things fast and replace LL with WED/Added Fire. Jesus, I'm not sure if these people are trolling, or really fucking slow.

Iron Grip is not worth the points spent to get there in this build (later on around 40% inc physical for 5 points, before even lower). Why not get Resolute Technique? Point Blank is fucking great with RoA, because the center of projectile movement is also the center of your RoA area (afaik).
