[1.3] Reichan's ---- Frenzy/SA 3-aura crit bow build

This is my idea of a 1.2 ranger build, which is aimed at resembling my old build as much as possible, therefore it is quite conservative.


* Updated for 1.3

The tree hasn't changed basically, yet I have some points left for some reason I can't identify. Now the choice and the question is: Is it better to go for Quickstep (12% attack speed+8% move speed) or Ice Bite (30%+10%+10% Cold damage - with Herald of Ice and Hatred I actually deal more cold damage than physical damage, hence the issue)

Any comments are welcome

-----------------
* UPDATE 3: Modification, mana reduction nodes dropped. Wrath replaced with Herald of Ice. Now some points are left unspent and I'm struggling with a dilemma. I can go either for physical damage (Master of Force nodes) or elemental damage since i use 2 ele auras (Forces of Nature nodes). Or maybe even for some life (Profane Chemistry nodes). I haven't decided yet, maybe someone has an idea.
------------------
* UPDATE 2: Small modification made
------------------
* UPDATE: So far it's working fine after the patch. Plays in a way similar to pre-patch reality. Life isn't so bad, with good gear 4k can be obtained easily. Right now I'm running 3.5k since I play on uniques that have no +life on them.
------------------
------------------
------------------

* I play solo so I rely on my own auras - hatred, grace and herald of ice on Alpha
* I hate mana with all my heart, skills run on BM gems linked to Life Leech and LGoH

Still, any comments are welcome, maybe some connections can be improved so take a look and say what you think.

- It's a lvl 92 tree. That's high. No problem if it's to respec an existing char.
- Life seems low, according to 1.1 standard. But we can't tell really until it's tested in game when patch goes live.
- Wrath implies 151 intelligence at lvl 20 but you didn't take any +30 intelligence node. Will you have all of it on your gear. You will also probably have a similar problem with strength as we had up to 90 from tree just by taking life nodes, in 1.1.
- Overall, I think it's heavilly focused on damage. I would drop Master Fletcher and Avatar of the Hunt clusters for more utility/life.


Here's a variation with 172% life, and there are 2 spare points which can be put in Sniper, Crit chance in Assassination cluster or the last two nodes in Lethality cluster, or in +30 int node.

When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch?
If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...
