Hardcore dual wield crit claw reave ranger 2.1 build guide

Hey I am currently running this build in Hardcore Talisman and I'm really enjoying it.

I chose reave because I really like the clear speed and the safety from not having to be in melee range, but this build could easily be adapted for other builds like flicker strike, frost blades, or dual strike.

Screenshots

DPS


With auras on in hideout


With blood rage, 5 frenzy charges, 4 power charges, and unholy might.

Defense


There is a lot of room for improvement here, I am considering switching to acrobatics later on.

Passive Tree


Bandits
Normal: Help Oak
Cruel: Help kraityn
Merciless: Help alira

Gear


I've opted for Belly of the Beast because I don't have a whole lot of life on my tree, but Daresso's Defiance would be a solid option as well.

I'm using maligaro's for a damage boost, but facebreakers actually give more tooltip dps, just whichever you prefer.

Once I acquire my 6L belly I'll be running conc effect+inc aoe, but as of right now I only swap conc in for some difficult bosses like Malformation map boss.

Currently I have no way of generating endurance charges, but a level 3 or 4 enlighten would allow me to run herald of ice + curse on hit + warlords mark.

Notes


Relentless fury is a great leveling offhand option until you can afford Death's Hand

Soul taker allows the use of a third aura such as herald of ice or arctic armor

Crit multiplier is by far the best source of damage in this build, as in most crit builds

Atziri's promise synergizes quite well with the 100% uptime on unholy might

Poison would be a viable sixth link, especially with unholy might, fatal toxins would be a must if you went that route

Imperial claws and great white claws are excellent bases capable of good crit and decent aps, which combined with their life gained on hit implicits helps keep you topped off.

I'll be adding to and revising this guide over the next few days, feel free to ask any questions in the replies

just started playing this build, will let u know on which lvl ill rip =)
