Melee Evasion Ranger Build Advice s/shield

I do use blood rage, largely because it is more convenient than manually using frenzy every 10 seconds. You also get free life leech which, as long as you do whack things, will net you more life than you lose even with -60% chaos resistance.

To my best knowledge chaos resistance does mitigate the life loss due to bloodrage but I never had the equipment to verify that.

Yeah... I better figure out if I want to take blood rage then and pick up frenzy charges. Big if, but I know frenzy charges can be a nice boost, and I would be able to get 7 of them, pretty brutal. I just know with blood rage the hp loss is a huge annoyance, if high chaos res can mitigate it, that would be amazing.

Last thing I am torn on is getting acrobatics and shadow early, or hitting duelist area first.

what rewards are you taking?

HP/phys damage/frenzy charge?
