Just wanted to say that I had a level 82 ranger with full passive reset that I wanted to try something new with before the next full reset in a month.
Using just so so equipment I had lying around, (4 links) and starting with a level 1 tornado shot (and almost all other gems needed) and I was able to solo a4m Dominus first try. (PS that might say something as to the power of tornado shot) Heres Equip: I played almost the entire weekend. I find myself always spamming tornado shot and never puncture, even though the tooltip puncture damage is 3x as much. Puncture just doesn't seem to do any damage. I am wondering why I even need it. I really like the build but my tool-tip dps is only 3,800 tornado shot and a little over 9k for puncture. The question here is do I need better equipment? Any suggestions? Do I need to wait until after 2.0 to buy better equipment? Thanks!!! Last edited by Shinare#4581 on Jun 1, 2015, 12:25:40 PM

" I pretty much do the same, the shotgunning power of TS is really hard to overlook. I prefer using Puncture Trap over regular Puncture, pretty much the only thing that I've adjusted to. Regular Puncture is still quite nice (vs Atziri, etc) though. For upgrades just depends on what you wanna do, 75 maps? 77-78? Atziri? Uber? I think the gear you have and DPS, when your gems level especially, is pretty decent for pre-75. Would look at getting a pair of Maligaro and then upgrading your Bow, followed by Jewelry upgrades. I think you can easily 5L your Chest (Worth 5L, maybe not 6L) and craft life on your Belt to start too. Fake Temp League Elitists LUL

" What are the advantages of trap-puncture vs regular puncture? is it needed any investment into trap nodes? |

I have both
in my stash. As I'm starting Merciless, should I go ahead and use these even tho it'll leave me with some resist holes? Or should I make sure I can cap resists before switching to them? IGN: Bahnzo <--- that should find me.

" Point Blank + Trap is a lot of damage (that you won't see in tool tip) and good to lay down against bosses that are chasing and/or things like Vaal/Atziri (bosses that have a wind up spawn animation). No investment into trap nodes needed. " Imo cap resists. I value Rat's over Maligaro for switching in first, others opinions may differ. Fake Temp League Elitists LUL

" Yea, I'd agree with that. Rat's is clearly better. IGN: Bahnzo <--- that should find me.

Thanks for the replies to my questions.
I too thought my chest might be 5 link worthy. I spent quite a bit of currency last night trying to at least 5-link my chest and it never happened (using 20% quality for every fuse) and dropped more on it than its worth, even if it 5 linked. Really bummed me out. *sigh* oh well. Someone's gotta be at the shit end of RNG to balance out all the people that say "OMG I used 20 fuse on this and got a 6L!!!!" I should have just bought one already 5 linked. *shrug* As for the other gear, I will try to find a very cheap Mali at some point but its really only got crit chance over my current gloves. And 4 red sockets on it would be impossible not to mention a waste of a great deal of chromes. I would hate to loose my CwDT node just for crit chance and lower attack speed. I will try and find a better belt for this build. This one was just in my stash in the junk bin. |
