Ranger - [3.5] Death by a Thousand Cuts - Frost Blades & Blade Flurry Raider - Forum

thanks for comments all, i'll get WED on belt and hopefully a ring too, and level up a bit and see how i do. I tried 6 linking my a belly, spent 6 exa so far and nothing, should have just bought it but now i may aswell spend my currency on fusings to try finish it.. I did buy 20% gems which helped me somewhat.	Posted by Nevzat#0411 on Jan 1, 2018, 5:44:16 PM Quote this Post
Thoughts on this ring? Increases my tooltip by loads, would I be better off building around it, or just getting an opal?	Posted by Nevzat#0411 on Jan 1, 2018, 6:43:04 PM Quote this Post

Only problem with that tooltip dps is the ring doesn't affect your projectiles from frostblades/molten strike.	Posted by evenson#2428 on Jan 1, 2018, 7:00:57 PM Quote this Post
Pretty much done with the build, nuked all guardians but haven't tried shaper yet. Still saving up for a 6l belly which is kinda silly since I have a +3 stark. Cull strike on toa is amazing, really helps out. I dont miss the +46 as much as I thought I would. Ditched blood magic for charged dash to cross gaps, GREATEST DECISION I EVER MADE. If anyone has any suggestions, lmk :) POB - https://pastebin.com/KY9Vh61X (300k without lab enchant on boots active, 330k with lab enchant for molten strike magma ball, 400k for melee hit) (310k w/o lab enchant for icy blades from frost blades,338k with. 186k melee hit) edit: got the belly <3 Last edited by ZebberZ#6441 on Jan 2, 2018, 2:14:06 AM	Posted by ZebberZ#6441 on Jan 1, 2018, 7:07:22 PM Quote this Post
would this build work as pathfinder?	Posted by streetRossi#3727 on Jan 1, 2018, 11:01:21 PM Quote this Post

It's honestly not that great a ring. No life, good flat added ele but you can roll that yourself. Opals could be expensive though so using it isn't actually bad.

If someone does have a way of consistently pulling it off, however, then it would indeed be quite good. Hitting the ground right next to the boss doesn't work for shotgunning ? Also, depending on interaction of multistrike + ancestral call (if all balls hit the target) : - If it's 4 attacks while shotgunning with AC, it's a (0.844/3-1) = 11.7% more damage - If it's 6 attacks while shotgunning with AC, it's a (0.846/3-1) = 68% more damage - Elemental Focus is a 49% more damage* (more damage compared to a 5-link with molten strike -multistrike - elem dmg - conc. effect - ice bite) So the shotgun with ancestral call would only be beneficial if it does work correctly with multistrike (copying all 3 hits). I'm still trying to find the answer to this question however. I can't access the game right now to test with a low attack speed and mono-projectile skill to see how many attacks the ancestral call procs when we hit the ground with a multistrike linked. EDIT : I changed the calculation, forget about the reduced damage of ancestral call which result in a 0.84 multiplier at level 20. So, I just tested Ancestral Call + Multistrike shotgunning and... it works ! With a molten strike with 3 projectiles (to see better), I attacked in place next a single target. Ancestral Call + Multistrike is creating a total of 6 attacks with only one target. I had only 3 projectiles per Molten Strike, so i get a total of 36=18 balls per click. It's definitely the best option damage wise even for single target, if you can afford the weird playstyle of attacking the ground instead of the target :D	Posted by Zankai#4668 on Jan 2, 2018, 2:57:36 PM Quote this Post
