Just a Ranger Build Idea...

I started to develop an idea for budget yet as hard hitting as brood twine Offscreener idea. The build is perfect just for Sarn Arena.

It's around of course Doomfletch Prism Royal Bow, preferably +1;



i wont make any explanations how this bow hits harder than brood twine when its build around, i'm sure for 90% of you its not hard to understand.

Simply,

you use one of these, both for having maximum X-Y damage per shot to kill scolds + zerphi users in one shot, and the perfect synergy with doomfletch;(swap the helmet for obscurantis vs phys damage)



get one of these for having max damage, again, to be able to kill people with offscreen one shots. I tried to do the build with kaoms, i feel like having the maximum DPS per shot you can get is the key to kill zerphi + scolds abusers. needless to say, if you want to make it viable for pvp duel arenas, leg kaoms is the way to go. but this guide is about the sarn arena build

To make the build work, make sure that you have 39 global pen: 10 from boots, 5 from belt, 14 from tree(no fire, 8 for light, 8 for cold), 10 from pathfinder.

links: wed + slower projectiles + ppad + iceshot/LA/barrage + ele focus + increased aoe/faster attacks.

quiver: drillneck +1,

boots: you may choose to use brinerot whaler for maximum damage, i'd prefer life + chaos resistance rare boots though.(vs scolds fellas i have one with 10% pen brinerot whalers, in case they have higher one shot threshould than my one shotting range)

belt: hysteria modded rustic belt.

rings perfect flat phys + implicit flat phys(steel ring) + life + crit chance + resists.

testing:

i tested the build, it can one shot 10k-11k ES; initial hits can one shot 6k life, focus on movespeed(70 MS without flasks, 185 while MS flask is on), get 5.3k-5.5k life, i wont share more details for obvious reasons.

i have 440k dps with my squishy brood twine LA/ice shot char(since 2 days) from my experience, doomfletch hits slightly harder with less crit chance. (my bow is 400ex, quiver is 200ex easy peasy, so with 11ex, you hit as hard as me, just in return you lack crit chance and to compensate that you should focus on attack speed and CC on tree)

what to do vs brass dome: switch to barrage, vs very tanky boring chars also use barrage. even 8k life tanky chars with brass dome die to barrage. you gotta know basics of namelocking, i wont share how to use it here also, to keep greedy newbies exploit overpowered mechanics.

Nice post Rup. I think these are the types of posts we need more of, something affordable new people can use and abuse to have some fun in pvp.

Thanks!



these are my recommended jewel types, you need attack speed on jewels, since pvp is not all about having max X-Y. dont pick APS on tree much, get em from jewels.

dont get jewels with, critical multipler, critical chance, in short: any damage modifier that can get countered by brass dome

I just cant believe when you say this bow hit harder than Brood Twine, from my exp it is slightly weaker than Glyph Mark thought. And what about secondary setup with Blast Rain if you recommened Kaom Heart?
And for Brood Twine user, what do you think is the best type of ring, Diamond, Steel or Opal ring?

ah sorry,
yeah,

we did testing back in the days where inquisitor elemental resistance ignore bla bla was working in pvp though, while testing i wasnt using slower projectiles but phys to light(which is almost waste of gem slot for this build)yet around those days steel rings were uncommon which makes big difference for doomfletch's daamge output, we did tests with diamond rings with perf flat phys.

i did tests again, doomfletch hits like 10-15% lower damage than brood twine - perfect DPS setup, with crap steel rings + abyssus + drillneck setup. i think thats fair enough.

the good about doomfletch spec is that you have 3 arrows without LMP, 6 with dying sun. this definitely gives better offscreening experience.

@rings, i cant know the answer to be honest, for this build the only choice is definitely steel ring thats for sure. for pve, i'd go for dia rings too. you can try whats best with your setup by using white steel rings - white diamond - white opal rings with different harbinger bows(whites and rares). This test wouldnt reflect the 100% correct answer, yet it can give you some ideas.

Ty, I'll do some tests before buying those rings. And the "10-15% lower damage" is the result when you use Lioneye's Vision but not Kaom Heart, right? I just dont like to use Abyssus cos it has no life/es, which makes the character become too squishy, I kinda like a balance char that can do both pve/pvp :)

without abyssus you'd hit like for 30-40% less damage, abyssus is the key of the build.

well in pve, there is NO WAY that you can survive to reflect with doomfletch. thats why this build is only in pvp section. your X-Y damage is very very high with doomfletch even vinktar cant save you and without abyssus as i said your DPS would en up being dramatically low(doomfletch's last mod and abyssus, imagine the synergy)

Yeah, that last mod is the only reason to use Abyssus :) In PvE I need like 8k-9k health/es to do shaper-uber lab and survive reflect map (with vinktar ofcourse) so this build is just not for pve like you said

Edit: I did some testing with white rings, and it seem Diamond < Steel < Opal

steel rings might get better when conversion gems are on.
