If you need some inspiration :P becouse your Build looks a bit off from the best way selection for all Passive Skills

Fish much?

You'd be better off replacing Fork with LMP on your Lightning Arrow.

Is Fork better than LMP for anything?


Also, does anyone know why Nugiyen runs Resolute Technique, while most posts on the Rangers forum say it's a bad idea? And why doesn't anyone else run a similarly tanky build?

Because most of those posts are pre-OB. With the removal of Diamond Flasks I think picking up RT is worth it.

He runs a tanky build because:

1. He is a BM Ranger.
2. Tankiness in some matter is needed to be successful in later difficulties.
3. Most importantly, he's playing hardcore, where you prioritize surviving over anything else.

EDIT: Also, on Resolute Technique: I think it is awesome, but there is just nothing over for a bow Ranger, except Elemental Adaptation. IMO, it's too much of an investment just to have 100% hit chance.

They run RT because reflect auras can kill you if you critical strike them and they dont want to risk reflect death in hardcore, use crit if you play default its very fun.
