Ranger - [3.8] Arly's Ice shot bower - Forum

" Nephalim wrote: You can download my pob file. I would suggest following the gear pattern I used there. Just at a glance you're missing life on several gear slots. If you feel squishy at 5500 life, acro, coil and high vinktar upkeep then the only option is to go to a more expensive CI variant though just the skyforth needed for that is noticeably more than the entire cost of this build. The play style revolves around flask charges gained to have a high upkeep on vinktar which is really what keeps you alive vs the toughest content. I miss 2 life rolls/slots thats the ring and the amu. The amu is hard to change. Its so much dps. Maybe I play to ruthless. No advice for rolling map mods? --- TEMPUS FUGIT ---	Posted by derbund666#1482 on Apr 19, 2017, 8:11:19 PM Quote this Post
You can do most mods except ele reflect and no leech. If you get splat on by a volatile on a -max then you will probably die, like most builds would. IGN: Arlianth Check out my LA build: 1782214	Posted by Nephalim#2731 on Apr 19, 2017, 9:45:34 PM Quote this Post

I'm doing this build but feeling so squishy at 5k with a Kaom's Heart (3.8k with a Lightning Coil). Running tier 13 map ok but die a lot in tier 11 Excavation and Precinct. So I'm considering switching to Saranghaeyo's Pathfinder build hoping that the consistent flask charges will keep me healthy most of the time. But the DPS of this build is so rewarding, as you listed up to more than 130k (though I'm only capping at 80k dps at max Frenzy charges and flasks with a 5 link Opus and Signal Fire). Meanwhile, Saranghaeho's Pathfinder build is capped at 70k DPS only when done right. So I don't know if it's worth the switch. What's your input on the squishy thing and thought on switching to Pathfinder?	Posted by ahhauhhu#7272 on Apr 23, 2017, 3:00:39 PM Quote this Post

What's your input on the squishy thing and thought on switching to Pathfinder? It depends what gear was used for each scenario. You can easily have 200-300k dps with mirrored gear. I have 5.5k with a legacy coil. It is just a matter of gear optimization in your case. You'e going to have low health even with another version unless they literally went path of life nodes. Signal fire may not be the optimal choice with an opus but I have not ran the numbers. What you should do is compare the two builds side by side with identical of comparable gear cost.

what about uber atziri?	Posted by j0ca1995#2138 on Apr 24, 2017, 5:16:31 PM Quote this Post
