Yea Resists are my problem right now, Im capped on lightning but cold and fire i'm at about 50ish. I may end up taking out the 3 passives going to fury bolts and hitting diamond skin, That's only if i cant find the right gear to cap them.

You might want to take the high path between ranger and duelist trees if you aim for more resists, there's a +6 node right next to them, and you don't really need anything next to the middle route you now take (and there's an int node on that route, very nice for the blue gems and mana). Diamond flesh is nice, but a bit far from anything, that same cluster with the +6 I mentioned has +15 fire and cold nodes so 3 points there is +21 to both (and +6 lightning, but you're capped).

Also, there's a possible place to free up a point on the way between ranger and shadow trees; the node to lower right of the thieves craft int notable would make the connection, and free up the two nodes doing the connection now.

Here's a link to my partially filled tree to illustrate, I still have 8 or 9 points unallocated while I check how much mana I need.

Added an alternate Pure crit skill tree revision of this build to the original post under build spoiler, and a link to a video of that build in action at the bottom of original post.

just wanted to give some love to this build.

Ive kinda been following and combining gear combinations with other guides.

This patch finally gave me the ability to revamp my ranger!!!

My gear



My Tree



Only lvl 68 right now, havent even finished Merciless.

Running haste, hatred, and grace.

Frenzy 5080dps
ROA Totem 2044
Split arrow 3619

These are numbers without any charges and blood rage not up

I am Considering removing my ROA totem, and just runnign frenzy and SA. I have a nice 14% quality Decoy totem, i think would be just as viable then I can 5link my Frenzy.

Just curious what should i link with frenzy for 4 or 5link anyhow

If I drop my roa totem, I may add Crit chance gem.

Also may change Projectile speed for crit chance gem.

I just have my frenzy on a 4L right now with faster attacks increased crit dmg and added fire, i would probably add increased crits or quality culling strike for 5L ;)

I actually have been running a split arrow totem instead of the RoA totem for a bit now and it seems to work really well, i have it 5L'd with faster attacks, ranged totem, increased critical damage and blind.

glad you like the build man, I'm having a blast with it :)

I ended up 5linking my frenzy, with Added Fire, mana leech, Faster attacks, and Inc crit strikes.

Then put a decoy totem, in for those real tough bastards, With the physical reflect packs, I find i can drop the mob quick, with frnezy, and just drop the boss slower, with my Blood rage, and a health pot, i dont die.

Put blood rage and decoy on Increased duration gem, not sure if there would be any other support thats useful for them. faster cast and reduced mana seems pointless.


Upgraded some Gear


Flasks


I think this is about all thats required for flasks, let me know if I missed anything

Yea man once i get my lionseye and alpha howl i think i'll be a beast, the cannot be frozen from the alpha is going to be a game changer. Nice gear!

This is crazy, with the new vendor recipes... I bought a bunch of 20% gems, and got them up to at least lvl15 while leveling to 75..

With 7 charges..

10300evasion

6800 split arrows

12000 Frenzy

That all sounds fine and dandy, but I'm sick of lionseye with this physical crit build.

Just wait until you find a few reflect mobs in maps. Soooooooo frustrating. Has me playing other toons right now..

No way around it. If you can't miss, you can't dodge your reflects.

All you gotta do is be cautious man, thats what the totem is for and bear traps. Instead of just spamming arrows off the screen you need to actually run up and see what your fighting lol.

This is why I use RoA and why VictorDoom used RoA. You get to control shots much easier than Split Arrow and be able to boost your DPS easily with the Concentrated Area of Effect support.

And like Sorrows81 mentioned, Bear Trap, Conversion Trap, and Ranged Attack Totems are good options for phys reflect mobs.
