Pure Phys Bow for 11.2 (Split Arrow/Crit/Frenzy Updated 7-19-13

This is my version of the build : http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAAdEFLQW1CC4M8g5IDq0PqxEvFHUY2xmOGbQhYCP2JpUppSzpMHwyCTWSNj051ECgQ5xJO0p9TshRR1VLVvpaSF_hYEth4megbWxte25pb_JwUnDVcn50QXTtdPF31HfXeu9_K4bOhxmHdohrjDaNv5Xpm42euaCfokCly6c0p9Sqf6q4q9Kv67EwtUi2976nwA_AUcHYxKLEuMrTzZjSTdN-1fjcFd0N3sbjhOd06mLrFO2D7g7vTu_w8Nn0-PlW-rH8xf7I


I'm lvl 82 , running map now with a sort of MF gear. I found lack of hp nodes too risky for high end map, so I adapted the build to my gameplay.

I run with split arrow as first spell

Just wanted to give many thanks to Sorrows81 and Kolp for taking the time to make all of this information available. I was noodling around with a physical bow build as well as considering spec-ing for increased movement speed for a new Anarchy league toon. This thread has been a goldmine. I started as a Shadow but scrapped that toon in favor of a Duelist (proximity to some keystones I wanted early). Again, thanks for giving me plenty of info to make yet another currency sucking alt =D

No problem! Anytime anyone wants to runs some maps in standard league, hit me up (ign Penthesia). I also agree with going duelist for this build; if i had to do it over I would go duelist too.

hi kolp, thx so much for explaining everything around this amazing build. im probably going for that frenzy crit build also. could you please link the skilltree which you would use as a duelist? I would love to try that out without using wrong skill points... i think with your knowledge you have more idea how to use the sp wisely.

tia!

hi, i can link you a skill tree, but I just wanted to clarify that my build is not crit based. Did you want a frenzy/crit build? I focused on attack/movespeed, which didn't leave any nodes for crit.

I like your take on the build man, sticking to the crit aspect of it. I ended up switching my crit to attack speed and more phys dmg nodes because i wasn't seeing the amount of crits i was expecting so i'll make up for it with atk speed :P

You gave me some ideas on how i can switch up my current build as well :)
Thanks for the input!

I'll be completely updating this thread after the Ranger tree gets changed and we get our respec.

Just a heads up :)

Hi !

Nice guide ! I started such a ranger, lvl 32 atm, doing fine, pretty easy to level up.

I would have 2 questions :

1) Which aura do you recommand ?
wrath, hatred, anger, grace, haste ? But obviously it is not possible to take all of them (maybe some with BM ?)

I was thinking wrath+grace+hatred with BM (but rather with lvl 10 auras, to keep some life), and then haste+anger with mana ? I'm not sure it's the right thing though ...

2) Do you take so much int only for wrath ? Or are there other reasons ?



Here is my current build (lvl 70)
Major changes with your's :
- piercing shots
- little bit less life nodes (I don't take them when there's only 6% nods)
- little bit more evasion (i.e. armor since it is transformed)
- one more frenzy charge (and more duration)

otherwise, it's pretty close to yours

thx ! :)

Hey Sorrows! Liking the build so far, altho i do feel like im lacking some DPS due to my bow only being 185 top end damage. I assume when i get a Lioneye bow this will increase substantially.

a couple things im curious about. One being that i noticed in between the Ranger and Shadow starting points, you have an extra DEX node. Are you going towards Iron Grip?
(i would like to see a completed version of your tree)
Also, Are the bottom right corner Phys Dmg bow nodes not worth getting? Are you planning on getting any other Phys Dmg bow or Projectile dmg nodes?

and finally, do you or anyone else know when the ranger tree is going to be revamped?

Thanks for all your help and the help of other people in this page! loving the build so far!

I'm actually going for the extra mana nodes right under that, I'm realizing once i get a 6L and i add another dmg gem (possibly culling or faster proj) I'll need that extra mana :)

As far as the bottom right dmg nodes not really, its 5 points for not that much atk speed n dmg, It would be better to use 3 and go into lethality for 120% more crit.

why don't you take piercing shots ? Seems to me that it allows to deal a lot more damage to large groups.
