So puncture is better than Frenzy as single target? I did the DPS build and then later realized that for Drillneck users you have to spec into those nodes. Now I have to refund 4 nodes and don't know where to take from
SO questions:
1) Which auras are you guys using since we can now only use 2 with Reduced Mana nerf?
2) What is the setup for single target? I keep seeing people having diff opinions
3) How much HP is required?
With 4 frenzy 4 power charges, my frenzy does 71k, but I think I like puncture better because I can change to trap before boss
Spoiler
Need to juggle some gear to cap resists and need to add life to my chest. Suggestions? I took a 1 year break so I am a little noobish now.
Will you be doing a skilltree breakdown for certain amounts of skills again for levelling up new characters? I found it extremely useful and gives me an idea of whats needed when (wont tell you how much I stuffed up my 63 ranger by selecting the wrong skills!).. :)
As background, I'm level 69, following the passive skill tree fairly close, with the exception of 4 points into Strength and Intelligence nodes (gotta have them, or I lose some of my gems), plus a couple points to get extra mana and +40% mana regen (gotta have it, as running out of mana remains a problem even now, esp. with two auras going).
My Tornado Shot is on a 4L Decimation bow, with GMP, PPAD, and Faster attacks. The tool-tip DPS (with Hatred and Herald of Ash running) is 1K. For my puncture shot, the DPS is 2K. So: I'm off by about 15x. It takes 4-5 shots to kill level 65 white mobs. Clearing Docks (!) I have to take it slow and easy.
I'm sure my gear sucks. Then again, when I look at the "this is what I was using to clear level 79 maps and kill Atziri", the only real DPS boost I see is that the belt adds 10-20 physical damage per shot.
So: where exactly is the multiplier coming from? I don't expect to be doing 17K TS without a harbinger bow (which means getting to level 71-72 before I can even look at buying one), but I do need to be doing at least 3x the damage that I'm doing now if I have a hope of killing Dominus and making it through the insane 4th act, never mind farming high level maps.
I do see extra damage coming off the other items. But honestly, none of those items is in reach. I saw a Rat's Nest going for a very reasonable 2 exalts. I asked the guy if he'd take something else, as I have yet to see even one exalt. He said he'd accept 80 Chaos Orbs instead. I laughed: I had 8 of those, so I was only off by a factor of ten.
No offense, but I assume your bow must be extremely bad.
I'm level 51 this season but I already have 1.4k TS GMP dps and 2.5k Frenzy dps.
My bow has around 140 pDps, for reference.
Errr... I was just playing the game during the last 3 days, so I'll pretend I didn't get any PM's and there were no 10 pages of questions in this thread and will just update the guide for a lil' bit now o.O

Yes

Hi Neversink. I played this build before 2.0 now i see you took frenzy charge from tree and this is my question. Is any sense to take them if i use puncture for single target instead of frenzy? I dont see in your gems setup or equipment any other thing which can make frenzy charges. I use TS for mob packs, SA for CoH - AM (power charges) and puncture for single. I use EC and BR manually and sometimes BA in dangerous cases.
I can save 6 points if i refund frenzy charges, next 3 if i resign from VP and i suppose can have another points from normal, cruel and merciles Act4 quests. Any other advice or maybe i shouldn't doing some things? Sorry for my english, i'm not so good in it.

3 options:
Bloodrage, Blood dance or Frenzy. You can also run a combination of those, any of those will be enough to sustain frenzy charges for a while.
Frenzy charges now provide 4%IAS, 4FC and 4% MORE damage. The boost from the 6-9 frenzy charges (depending on your merciless bandit reward and corruptions) is downright insane.

O_o i dont used earlier BR so often and i dont saw it make frenzy :) Now i understand. I have blood dance even corrupted with +1 frenzy but i dont want lose my Atziri's step especially it's perfect roll.
I think i will use lower lvl BR and connect it with my cwdt-ic setup for hard situation. Thx for fast answers and great job with your build :)

The Nr1 bow for leveling is Death's Harp. Base dps is not so high, but is has 2 very good mods: 100% crit multi, and 1 additional arrow. I used that bow till I was close to lvl 70, and never had any problems.
My advise: buy a Death's Harp. Get the one that has increased crit chance implicit mod. They're for sale for just a couple chaos. Now, because of the 1 additional arrow, switch out you GMP for LMP. You should see a nice damage boost for very low cost.
\edit\ Removed the 5L comment.....was watching the wrong profile.
As for Rat's Nest. 2ex is only for the top rolled ones. Message me ingame @ 'Fritso_Archer', and I'll give you one for free that I have laying around.

Also, I see the 5th link on your armor is empty. Why not use it? If you're having mana problems, you can even insert mana leech there.

What he said. Nice guy.
Also:
Updated several sections. I'll create the pictures for the skilltree and the gems later on.
Nothing to see here
Also I'm stealing Chris's patch note formatting for my aesthetic purposes.
Mwahaha.
He may not know ._.
