Path of Exile hands-on: The sequel Diablo II deserved
Have to remember to stop reading comment sections. A lot of people in there getting defensive over that article.
Oh right, i meant for ranger bow, i was thinking of elemental bow, but then i said meeh and i'll stick to physical bow. Also, which gems should i pick up, currently i have Lighting Arrow, Rain of Arrows, Puncture, Poison and lastly Split Arrow.
Which is would you recommend? Elemental or Physical?
Elemental damage is pretty nice, but physical works fine too.
Elemental bow by the current #1 ranked player and previous winner of the hardcore races, Nugiyen. Link.
Probably the best balance build for a Ranger. Shadow would do more damage, Templar would be more sustainable and tanky earlier.
Nugi's build splits the difference.
Frenzy for single target, Lighting Arrow for aoe.
best unique in the game
In between levelling my Summoner and Marauder, I have been thinking about a more 'faster gameplay' character.
Something with a lot of attackspeed. I have been reading about Invalesco's shadow build, but was more thinking about a bow-using character.
My questions:
- Is it 'viable' to concentrate mostly on attack-speed?
- Which other stats should I be looking for (except for defense), when I'm going for attack speed?
- Does anyone have any tips/builds from which I can draw inspiration? I found one guide, called Frenzy Princess and a general information thread (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/69224) on the path of exile forums, but I thought I'd ask here too, as more opinions are always nice
Thanks a lot for your time!
Edit: additionally, yesterday I managed to get to the gemling-queen on act3 merciless. According to the wiki, this should now give me a portal to the laboratory for maps...however, no portal appeared. Is there some other requirement that's not noted anywhere? (I did get the spool for her, but didn't collect the items in the sewers yet, nor did I kill the general)

Level 81 took a god dam day well it didn't help I died to Dysync TWO times -.-
4%? That a joke haha mines 17% per stack the 20% Quality adds another 4 why do you think my DPS is so god dam high because I have 7 charges + Super high level on the gem
5 is when it gets ridiculous and the extra IAS from gear itself and the bow makes it godly.
Example all though my DPS is actually 11.9k atm this is what happens if I ever choose to 6L it which is probably never due to reading that thread THANKS A LOT OF LAG
My AoE which is Split arrow and Rain of arrows are 6.5k now say if the person isn't a core frenzy build and isn't building around IAS as top priority to link it with the frenzies then yeah It f'ing sucks

I like the idea of daggers rolling spell or melee. Very cool.
In practice? Daggers rolling spell or melee is garbage.
Working on a dagger/shield shadow. Pretty frustrated with the huge affix table for daggers. SIGH
Could be Nugi values survivability more than damage. So the choice between a Life node & extra frenzy charge is weighed more toward Life. At least that is what I suspect given Nugi only plays hardcore & events. Also his "I'm a whore for Life nodes" comments in the past.
Can ask Nugs right now: http://www.twitch.tv/nugiyen
Life nodes are pretty great. I've been able to facetank all but two bosses so far, including Piety the first time you fight her in the Crematorium.
