Been playing a slightly modified version of the offensive crit build in rampage. Level 84 so far, with the following gear:

Gems in the bow are just leveling, not actively used


My current tree at 84 is:

I'm loving the build. The dps is insane, and with high evasion, ondars, acrobatics, and phase acrobatics, it's very survivable as well. One issue I have is I went more glass cannon than tank, so my life total isn't very high (about 3500). Because I evade the majority of damage, it's fine, but I've had a few deaths from a bunch of spells hitting me at the same time. I may spend the next few levels adding some more % life. Reflect is a total non-issue since I have 95% evasion against projectiles (reflected arrows count!).

I use herald of ash always, and grace or hatred, depending on the content I'm doing. If I was able to obtain an alpha howl, I could probably run all 3 at once with a few points moved to pick up charisma. I have projectile curse for bosses, but honestly I don't even bother usually since they die so fast anyway.

Cast on crit and ethereal knives are on my weapon swap being leveled, but I feel it's not worth running CoC without at least a 5 link. Once I get a 5L bow or chest, I think I'll do split - chain - faster attack - CoC - EK.

My single attack is puncture - phys atk dam - faster atk - added fire. I have temporal chains linked to cast on damage taken, which is great for getting out of harms way, as well as buffing my bleeds, burns, and freezes from crits (temporal increases status effect durations).

Such an awesome build.

Maxboo,hi! Need your opinion coz i newbie in this game :) I slightly modified build for shadow start (coz i hate ranger's model :D ) - less hp, more dmg and resist. Is there enough life and evasion for a comfortable game in beyond league?

Yo maxbo,

question:

if ek profits from the 5 physical dmg nodes in the shadow starting area, wouldnt it be better then to substitute maybe the deadly draw nodes (or any other of the pure bow nodes) for those?
Reach out and touch hate.

You would be giving up some single target (boss) dps in order to increase your AoE pack clearing speed. This build already absolutely shreds packs of mobs, so it's probably not a good trade.
If you are going for Crit-CoC-EK you got a little Point here!

Its ~80% Bow physical vs. ~57% physical

So i'm kind of following this build, I'm at a3m alredy and feeling fine, I haven't run any auras yet though. I was wondering if HoA + HoI wouldn't be more effective than running hatred, the damage should be similar and it reserves less mana.

HoI should also affect EK if i'm not wrong. Also do you think this build should be with 2% mana leech from items?

Lastly, where do you recommend wearing your CWDT, I was wondering eva/str gloves since they don't give much evasion anyways, and running auras on a helmet.

Thanks for this guide, I finally have been able to enjoy the ranger class haha.
