Hi, thanks for the nice build. Really fun to play. My first try was templar with heavy and lighntning strike, but this one didnt make it into cruel/hardcore and gameplay was much worse.

I'm still not into game mechanics too much especially the dps side of things, so i'd like to get some advice. My Ranger is now lvl 64, still in Act2 farming Felshrine with 2k dps burning arrow or 1700 dps elemental hit and 600 dps LA. Survivability is good with lots of armor, resists (except-60 chaos) and 3000 life.
But damage seems to get a problem if i want to progress now.
I didnt go to iron grip and took 60 int instead to make up for dps with auras and curses. Don't know if i messed it up now until i reach the shock and inner force nodes. Maybe i can get some tips here how to increase dps in between. Like what kind of gear would better for me etc.

"Important to note is that this gem will also reduce the amount of mana reserved by auras"

I try it out myself and it don't work for me. when using Anger im going from 3075 to 3075.

It works with Blood Magic from passive skill tree. You are using Blood Magic gem instead? This thread/build here is about the Skill Tree Blood Magic.

Edit: If thats not the case, maybe you forgot to restart the aura after you put in the mana gem. Reserved Life is only calculated the moment when you activate the aura.
