Marksman Build - Crit Ballista! 30k dummy hits with massive ballista attack speed :O

I hate to disparage someone’s gear builds… but might I suggest this instead?
Minion & Defense Focused

This is a much more balanced ‘All Resist’ build, imo. Sacrifices Crit chance for pure minion damage. Builds dodge and resists, instead of one or the other.

hey im always open for suggestions looks really good i had the idea of combining dodge an allres full cap its just really hard to get all these items and we would loose a lot of dps as we move away from crit.
really important is crit avaoidance cap of 100%.
gonna try your version in the next couple days lets see what damage we can stack. defense should be really good with your suggestion, thanks for that

For Crit Avoidance, if you get maximum rolls, it’s something like 92% avoidance.
Otherwise you could drop the added dodge rating on the belt for crit avoidance, easily pushing you to 107% w/ average rolls.

As far as minion damage vs. crits, I prefer minion damage. It’s not that much worse, and there are ways to increase crit chance via crit vulnerability, so your base crit chance doesn’t matter as much.

Plus, if you swap smokescreen for Dark Quiver, you can spec Dark Quiver for 100% ballista crits, just by picking up 4 arrows every time you cast. That means crit chance doesn’t matter nearly as much on gear.

Of course, that means you have to swap a skill, so it depends on how much you use Smokescreen.

Hi and thx for this little guide…
im lvl 76 but struggle a little bit in gear progression so im asking for advice
should im lookin for the base items with the needed implicits in blue for craftting ?
do you hava any suggestions for crafting ?

[stefthedude]

hey thanks
just try to keep your dodge rating as high as possible this will help you to survive through monolith.
yes looking for base items with good implicit rolls and 1 or 2 affixes with high rolls will help you to get to your endgame gear.
ive got a lot of great items from the vendors, just check him often, also gambling helped me a lot. once you got a really good blue base item it will be a lot easier to roll the rest thats basically how i got many of my items to 3x t5. crafting is just luck and yeah you will brake a lot.
