Ranger - (3.16) NERFED DO NOT PLAY THIS Raider Archmage BF/BB [CHEAP, Tanky, HCSSF viable, (100m+ dps) - Forum

" Mentosman42 wrote: To everyone having a tough time, you NEED minimum 4000-5000 mana pool for archmage damage to be worth it. Start searching trade for items with mana, life, and resists. Get decent mana on every item slot + some mana regen. All this gear can be bought for 20-30c total on top of the 6l. Probably like 40c total to get going for respec. I am at ~6.5k mana pool still in fairly trash gear but damage and survivability is good even without enduring cry or vig strike. Can usually easily clear most Ultimatums and currently running reds(~t12). Also, I am running arcane cloak on LMB, haven't had a problem with that. Drop sigil against tough rares and bosses, adds a lot of damage. ANNOINT MIND DRINKER No difficulty against ultimatum?	Posted by redjo#3847 on Apr 19, 2021, 1:28:03 PM Quote this Post
can you plz share the item filter you use for the build OP? Cause i dont know if a semi strict or sovereign general will be enough for this as we probably want all the sceptres especially in ssf:) Thx a lot in advance	Posted by killkarabill#5888 on Apr 19, 2021, 1:43:38 PM Quote this Post
I'm still undecided between a second sceptre for more dps or grab a shield in softcore..	Posted by Giammafix#2456 on Apr 19, 2021, 1:54:45 PM Quote this Post
Am i missing something? Where is the 40 strength in radius of the vigil?	Posted by FrydChickn#3224 on Apr 19, 2021, 2:05:48 PM Quote this Post
By any chance do you have a mid/end game filter? I really enjoyed the early game one helping pick out what I should grab. Thank you for that!	Posted by garrett871#0742 on Apr 19, 2021, 2:16:56 PM Quote this Post

Hi, just one question, how do you proc onslaught ?	Posted by Eykoh#1977 on Apr 19, 2021, 2:54:19 PM Quote this Post
You always have onslaught because of your ascendacy node.	Posted by AsceticPOE#7625 on Apr 19, 2021, 2:59:32 PM Quote this Post

As someone who struggled a lot with lightning traps and also during the transition to BF/BB I can give a few tips. 1. Just grind out a few levels in blood aqueducts. Once I hit level 69 I had enough skill points to grab nodes that increased my damage, which helped tremendously. 2. Get at least 3 of the ascendancies completed 3. Mana is important, but you can definitely make this build work going into maps with 3500 mana as long as you have enough damage.	Posted by Panic1333#6237 on Apr 19, 2021, 3:01:38 PM Quote this Post
