So, barring any blast rain nerfs, is Tornado Shot + Blast rain with blood rage for frenzy charges the best general build?

Best? In the OP there is a good description of the strength and weaknesses of each skill.

Tornodo Shot is super versatile and good for kiting.
Split arrow and Lightning Arrow are faster at clearing trash, so they are great for ultimate map clearing speed.
Blast Rain and burning arrow have high base damage and build in elemental conversion, which makes them safer against phys reflect.
Frenzy is great with a lot of frenzy charges. Especially since you can keep up your frenzy charges in long boss fights like Uber Atziri.
Puncture is great for kiting, Atziri trio and trap setup.

I could go on. You get my point :)

I chose Tornado Shot and Blast Rain for the following reasons. Blast Rain is good vs. Phys reflect bosses, has great single target damage and is good for atziri split phase. Tornado Shot is versatile, good for kiting and safe. This is good since I plan on going for lvl 98+ next league :)

See above post for explanation as to why there's not "best", but also consider that the guide will most likely be updated as the expansion plays out.

This is probably the most fun time for theorycrafters and everyone; when there's lots of undiscovered interactions and things to behold. For instance, Enchantments alone will prescribe a plethora of new build supplements and damage effects that will allow for interesting setups and fun. The core build will probably not shift drastically unless there's a drastic nerf or tree shift, and the new additions in the expansion will possibly redefine some of the damage ideals per skill, depending on what can be added, altered, etc.

In other words, in 2 days:

hey guys need your help im planning on playing my first ranger build on standard need some help! gathered up some items:


planning on going tornado shot crit build with these items. is ranger or scion better? which subclass should i go for and what should my tree look like? since i am going to be using infractem im guessing i dont put any arrow pierce nodes in the tree? im looking at the regular skilltree posted in page 1 seems not bad. im leaning towards deadeye or pathfinder TY.

Guessinh with the big maligaros virtuosity nerf thats no longer a good glove for the build?

They are still solid but yeah - it is a 33% nerf to the crit multiplier. Since crit cap will be easier to hit than ever facebreakers seems like a pretty solid pick xD

Thoughts on Duelist/Champion with Forty as a tankier class option? Otherwise I was leaning towards Raider. I'm just not sure if the trade of ranger evasion/life for duelist attack speed/small evasion life nodes out weight the fortify buff?

Also can anyone confirm what 'increased effect of Fortify on you' does? The Fortitude path gives a total of 20% increased effect of Fortify. Does that increase Fortify's '20% reduced damage taken from hits' by 20% making Fortify give 24% reduced damage?
