Crit + Evasion Build

I have the same idea of a build but it's a lot different from you. I will not post it cos im only lvl 52 and its not yet checked to be sure this build can work:)

@StrongEstet: Actually, this isn't checked at all. I didn't find a build like this on the forums, so I wanted to know if it could work. I'll try it and see if it works out, but so far it's all theory.

@s4ntana: How does Strength help with Life on Hit and Life Leech? Aren't they just based on the number of hits and damage dealt?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying this build, so thanks for all the help so far. And, I'm actually looking forward to some rigorous testing on this build to see how converting all the Evasion I stack to Armor works out. I really wanna know if those two are balanced out against each other. There's been a lot of discussion on that, I know much of it, and I finally want some numbers on that (scientist talking... :P ).

I've been running a similar build, but I've invested a bit heavier in the shadow area and ended up using the lower path in the ranger area. One thing to note is that Crit damage seems easier to get on rares (maxes at 66), vs crit chance (which maxes at 34), so it seems like you should prioritize crit chance in the passives and crit damage on gear (though if I'm understanding the mechanics right, you also want crit strike on the weapon).

Here's my current:



and planned builds:



Running frenzy + mana leech + crit chance + crit damage and split arrow + fork + mana leech + life gain on hit as my main two attacks for now. Also grace seems mandatory (until possibly extremely late when you have really good evade gear).

Edit: Strength is required for reduced mana(for auras), life gain on hit and life leech support gems. Int is required for crit mult and crit chance support gems + critical weakness and enfeeble curses.

Post back with your Acrobatics experience. I've never been fond of evasion in PoE, although I love "nimble" characters in other games.

As for strength; Life Steal, Life on Hit, Decoy Totem, Reduced Mana, Enduring Cry, etc. are all strength gems. You're going to need around 100 strength to use these in the late 60s or so, if you want to keep leveling them (and you will). You will probably need at least 1 Might node, and then a strength belt + Onyx amulet.

@s4ntana: Oh, boy, I still forget to check all the gem requirements... :P Thanks for helping out again. I'll learn it some day. :)

@Kjara: Nice build, thanks for sharing. You're base dps (no crits) seems lower, but you're crit chance is higher. And you took a lot more base stats. Hmm, that makes me think again. Guess I'll decide while leveling, don't know yet what items I'll get. But I'd never drop that Frenzy Duration node, just too convenient.^^

PS: I really should have used that Offline Skill Tree Planer earlier. So much easier.

@Grannath: Your ideas inspired me to (lets be honest) plan further than a few levels. Ofcourse everything I read from the others that helped your ideas to evolve helped me too - so thank you everybody.

So I tried to do my own build - and I would love to know from you guys what I might consider - and maybe how to really make this work, even on higher levels (I'm not too experienced in this game - but in my head is still the idea that everything you build can work, at least if you play it right).

I couldn't find a good way for evasion to work for me - so I ended up to use iron reflexes.



This is what I have - I have played my Ranger till lvl 26 now and till this point I think these things are really good in my game... I'm using Poison Arrow a lot right know.. but that is mainly because have not enough mana to use split arrow. I use Clarity for mana regen since a few days now and really like it so far.

Thank you for all the feedback I might get :)

Lvl 53 and i am stuck right now at Gravicus act 3 Cruel with build like yours..
