[1.2] Sidra's Guide: Acrobatics Based Physical Crit Split Arrow Ranger (Atziri Kill Video Inside)

im trying to upgrade my stuff as i am levelling...

1. i would like to know if Victario's Acuity ring(10% Chance to gain a Power Charge on Kill ) still can drop on ambush ? or going with romiras banquet ring maybe like a ranger do on this topic (page 3 or 4) in order to run without a powercharge on crit gem on my link ?

2. i loot a normal harbinger bow itemlevel 70 while mine is level 69, i try to work it with alch and scour to get a decent dmg physical bow. Then to add affixes i have to exalt. how many times ? how do you do to build your bow ?

3.panini aux olives, t'es français ? ca doit etre bon le panini auw olives ^^ ! your excel sheet to calculate dps is awesome ! i have 8000 net dps, thats low. i am convinced that the most important is the PDMG BASIS of the bow since the global dmg formula say it all :

[(min dmg+max dmg)/2]*Attack speed

4. the real problem i met around 72-76 until now is the devourer in museum map i have had to face 2 rare devourer at the same times 2 times with nemesis mod : fractured and soul eater...it was a pain....people told me to use vaal skeleton and not decoy totem. they hit really hard while i manage to evade most of the time hit, that devourer is like more accurate it seems...they do projectile dmg as well as melee...

5.how do you handle chaos dmg/chaos monsters ??????????????????

but keep going :)

2. the best way is to get the most important mods with transmut/alt/augmentation orbs, ie. Tyranical and Increase local crit chance. This is much less expensive than going chaos/alch/scour. However one can be lucky. This is my previous bow, which I made out of 1 alch only:

You could roll something similar on yours but it won't be exalt worthy anyway because its ilvl is too low to hope getting good affixes values (see http://poemods.com/ for details or game/items/prefixes and suffixes pages).
3. Je suis français en effet. And yes, phys damage is what matters on your bow, and crit chance.
4. Use your evasion or armor flask when a group of devourers spawn under your feet. It should lessen the damage sensibly.
5. I just use an amethyst flask.

Sorry to sound this noob, I'm rather new to the game, but is this build newbie-friendly? Could anyone please suggest an approx order for the passives?
No gods or kings only man
and what about "chance to hit " since the rate decrease with level. i was 91% at 72 and now 87%...so what's a decent rate ? do i have to take more accuracy stuff ?

and how do you handle the fight vs sallazang in labyrinth map ek big dmg...jade flask ?

That is probably the most dangerous boss for the build. I have a Chaos resist flask I use, and I shoot from close to the wall so I can duck behind it if I need to. But I would not attempt the fight unless your single target damage is high - you need to end to quickly. If your Frenzy isn't over 30k - just skip it.

So I have been really considering move speed lately - pretty jealous about the Puncture guy at 70%. It's such a nice quality of life bonus plus move speed is a facet of map clear speed, and it makes atziri easier (granted I have her on farm status now anyway, but still...I'd probably eat a few less of the small flameblasts that don't kill me)

So I decided to test Rat's nest. Offensively, it's inferior to Maligaros. But, unlike on the helm - gloves can roll Physical damage and attack speed - so I wanted to see what the 2 piece combo would yield. Showing Frenzy and SA DPS with 6 Frenzy charges up and Hatred:

Normal Setup:


Frenzy - 55,987 SA - 11,643

Rats Nest Setup:


Frenzy - 54,661 SA - 11,495

That's really not much of a loss at all to gain 10% move speed an a little IIR. And a few caveats here - this is a legacy Maligaros, for any Ambush peeps it wouldn't even be this close. And second - while these gloves don't have and cant get IAS - it is possible to get it on the gloves along with the physical damage - again cutting into or surpassing the DPS of the Maligaro's combo.

Verdict: While it is extremely close, I'd venture to say Rat's Nest/Gloves with + phys/res/life is superior option to Maligaros and a life/res Helm.

Yeah, Rat's Nest is overall a BiS helm (not counting CoE). Good defense, offense, Item Rarity, Movement Speed...

I'm currently using a corrupted Starkonja's for the life and socket colors.


But as soon as I can replace those stats with some good offensive gloves, I'm putting the Rat's Nest back on.
and what about that passive celerity : +8% movemen speed who is just close to ondars guile passive ? and near the path of common physical crit build?
