Yours has 40% lesser projectile dmg
Yours has 50% less multiplier

That's on purpose. I used to have a lot of spell damage and multiplier nodes but the CoC procs do enough damage without it so why overkill yourself on reflects?

110% less increased bow dmg! (thats alot :O)
Yours has some % less critical strike chance

That's base though. I'm crit capped with charges, which means more procs. And every party I join, we always have Hatred + Haste + Anger + Wrath. (Most people don't run all, so I am set up to run the missing ones.) This significantly adds to the clear speed of the entire party.

You go 50% more Evasion (hoooooraaay xD)
Yours has more than 70% less life increase

Not just Evasion; Evasion, ES, Resistances and Status Ailment Avoidance. And again, I will always have Grace and/or Discipline, which means those seemingly minor bonuses add up to a lot. I'm only 75 and not where I want to be yet, but I already have 3K ES and 61-70% Evade on my own (the variance is depending on how lazy I am about flasks). When I get Acrobatics, I may adjust to more life nodes instead, but for right now that's what's working really well for me.

Not saying one way's better than the other, just giving people more ideas and options.

Edit: I'll go make a different thread instead of hijacking yours. Sorry about the derail. :)

Hi,

I assume you use the armor/evasion version. have you tested the pure evasion+dodge version?
Why you choosed the armor/evasion one over it?
Answer: This is often discussed across the Ranger Forum. I didnt test the evasion+dodge version myself! I just like armor more....i feel safewr with it (loot of small hits, than a special high dmg hit) It up to you...personel preferences

How do you survive high spell dmg (for example piety @ temple map)?
Answer: My Build provides high +Life% (near 300%) I have a Lifepool of 6.000 with medicore Gear! This Pool + a lil bit of life leech allows you do go for those bosses!

Would'nt your dps will be higher withour COC+EK and with different gem setup (added fire+other...)
Answer:At the current status, the dmg with CoC+EK cant be reached with a other Gem Setup! CoC + EK in its current state is just imba! You will its powerness when you play it! Cant give you numbers here sry!

Thanks!
