[1.3] Sidra's Necromancing Ranger of Chaos (Poison Arrow) Videos/Atziri capable

Ok - for level 71, it's about time to start low level maps. The good news is your Poison Arrow is only level 16, so you have considerable gains to go just by leveling a bit - and getting it to 18 is quick. A few points

-You have more damage coming from the tree, 6x8% Projectile nodes at Ranger and Shadow start
-Pierce only makes sense as a support if you have a Drillneck Quiver (if you don't replace with Culling Strike or Increased Area of Effect)
-Fire Trap and Burning helps with Chaos Resistant mobs (check the links in my Carcass Jack)
-Also be sure to keep your zombies up they hit relatively hard and do physical damage - so also help against chaos res. If you want to sick them on a target, you can shoot it with a poison arrow
-Defensively - don't forget MoM and Ondar's!

Thx for fast reply, i will replace pierce gem then.

I have lot's of work to do for 1.2 - but here is my early read:

The build is going to do much more damage (about +40 of the additive bonuses which will end up being about 1300 DPS) due to a ton of new projectile damage added without losses of much anything else damage wise, it's going to run faster, and it's going to have much more evasion...like double. On the downside, if Vulnerability doesn't add 40% to dot anymore the offensive bonuses will be largely counteracted.

Sadly, the combination of the EB/AA/MoM combo is going to work less effectively in the build. My tentative build here - I just don't see how I am going to be able to make up the mana and mana regen needed. And I will also be losing some innate health regen and replacing it with life on kill.

Very interesting build, Think ill be rolling this for 1.2.

You missed your tentative skill tree link of the last post...

Cheers

I'll lose some life, but I'll probably have some more damage

The tree has a lot more damage. You are missing the ones on the right in the pierce circle. 8x8x10x10 (with Drillneck the pierce chance is equal to damage). Too much to pass up, imo

Mine is tentatively looking like this - with 5 more points not included

I played around with the tentative build a little bit and squeezed a point out of it by doing a slightly different route to the witch area and repathing a bit to get the +10% Minion Life node. Of course if you're planning on going for the Influence aura cluster the saved point is pretty much nullified.

Thanks for the re-path, and I can use the extra node for 20% more mana regen which is my one concern. Stamping final 1.1 stats here so I can compare after respec.

Poison Arrow DoT (true calculated value) - 18,818

I currently (after aura reduction) have a mana pool of 1,922 and 375.1 mana/sec regen. Hps are 4,986. Evasion 7,517

If current plan doesn't give enough mana/mana regen - plan is to free up 5 various nodes on the tree and complete the mana side of Witch start, for 60% more mana regen. My AA is 17, so need to come in at about 310 mana/sec.

New Vulnerability is 33% instead of 40%. So DPS increase to about 20k from tree improvements will be offset by that, although it's better to have the DPS since some mobs are curse immune, and curse impact lessened on some bosses.

Why aren't you picking ondars guile for the new tree?

Gah...these build programs killin me - definitely needs ondars
