" The flask only works while you are not on either full mana or life. Basically this is impossible with a windripper build which more or less requires Vaal Pact. Sell the flask again. Do you really have to follow the passive skill tree? No of course not. If you think something suits your playstyle better go for it. Edit: I am expressing myself unclear with the flask. The duration ends the second you hit both full life and mana. Last edited by Frankenberry#0590 on Mar 2, 2016, 3:49:29 PM

Hi,
Just wondering what your suggestion would be for an Ascendancy Class? This is the build that I am going to follow...stepping out of my comfort zone...I am mostly a Marauder/tank type player. Thanks for the build and any advice!! |

Talking from the perspective of a new league, what would be the best method to level this character. Fire Trap/Flame totem don't seem to do much damage. Would going Cleave/Dual strike and specing into the dual wield nodes near the start with quickstep and later respec out be a good idea?
Anyone have any suggestions as to how they plan to level their ranger in the upcoming league, would love to hear your views on this. Last edited by Decembertide#3834 on Mar 2, 2016, 4:22:40 PM

" " Seems like he's in the process of updating, which is cool, as I was in the process of trying to work out a build as well. I'm like you in that I played Marauder types, but wanted to finally try the OPness of a Ranger while being rewarded for skillful and tactical gameplay. Even if there is no large update, I think each Ascendancy Class offers either good utility, damage, or survivability, depending on your playstyle. For instance: Want flat damage, Chain utility, or nice AoE bonus? Deadeye! Want to supplement those charges, add to them, and increase survivability? Raider! Want to diversify damage while increasing survivability and flask utility? Pathfinder! Honestly, a lot of what I've seen in terms of Ascendancy classes for a lot of builds aren't about min-maxing or even what's particularly best (obviously SOME builds will favor something), especially since the age-old factor of doing 0 DPS when...you're dead :P. |

So, barring any blast rain nerfs, is Tornado Shot + Blast rain with blood rage for frenzy charges the best general build?
|

" Best? In the OP there is a good description of the strength and weaknesses of each skill. Tornodo Shot is super versatile and good for kiting. Split arrow and Lightning Arrow are faster at clearing trash, so they are great for ultimate map clearing speed. Blast Rain and burning arrow have high base damage and build in elemental conversion, which makes them safer against phys reflect. Frenzy is great with a lot of frenzy charges. Especially since you can keep up your frenzy charges in long boss fights like Uber Atziri. Puncture is great for kiting, Atziri trio and trap setup. I could go on. You get my point :) I chose Tornado Shot and Blast Rain for the following reasons. Blast Rain is good vs. Phys reflect bosses, has great single target damage and is good for atziri split phase. Tornado Shot is versatile, good for kiting and safe. This is good since I plan on going for lvl 98+ next league :) Last edited by Frankenberry#0590 on Mar 2, 2016, 5:14:19 PM

" See above post for explanation as to why there's not "best", but also consider that the guide will most likely be updated as the expansion plays out. This is probably the most fun time for theorycrafters and everyone; when there's lots of undiscovered interactions and things to behold. For instance, Enchantments alone will prescribe a plethora of new build supplements and damage effects that will allow for interesting setups and fun. The core build will probably not shift drastically unless there's a drastic nerf or tree shift, and the new additions in the expansion will possibly redefine some of the damage ideals per skill, depending on what can be added, altered, etc. In other words, in 2 days: "It's Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend Friday, Friday Gettin' down on Friday Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend Partyin', partyin' (Yeah) Partyin', partyin' (Yeah) Fun, fun, fun, fun Lookin' forward to the weekend" "Sorrow. How do you prove that you exist...? Maybe we don't exist..."
