as someone who is currently level 56 as a pathfinder, I find that using poisonburst arrow with Corrosion martial tempo and something that boosts armor break is also very good to keep on your character
I'd add a bit of cold damage. It'll help slow down enemies to keep them in your lightning field for longer & will help against lightning resistant foes, plus shock will apply to its damage too so support gems to increase the chance of applying that would also be good. Note that Herald Of Thunder's Bolt won't apply shock so you'll need to buff a different lightning skill with that.
I don't want to be rude, but why would you do all this work to make a guide video and then you don't even know to use "Orb of Storms" or "Ball Lightning"? It's so painful to see you spam Lightning Rod against a boss and then just use the regular Lightning Arrow for poor DPS when one cast of Orb of Storms could've nearly one shot it. Lightning Rod+ Arrow is ONLY against trash AOE, for DPS use Rod + Orb. Especially since it's footage from Act 3! And then you name it "Best" Ranger Build, when you didn't even look at more than one Ranger build. ONE look at Maxroll or Mobalytics and this could've been prevented. I'm really not trying to be elitist or a dick here, but this feels like the equivalent of someone posting a butter cake recipe without any kind of butter or butter subsitute.
It's painful to know your factually right with your comments in terms of best dps when you're so god awfully rude... but atleast the guide is trying to improve knowledge base, you've just belittled someone for some unknown reason...your comments are so backhanded and negative it's disgusting
@@Blackyjnr11 I'm sorry, this was really not my intention, but I'm kind of torn here between "it's just a few mistakes, at least the person is (as you said) trying to teach people" etc. and "this is a huge, professional gaming site, they put a lot of effort into the video itself, into cutting it etc. yet they couldn't be bothered to do the LEAST amount of research, ONEEEEE google search would have been enough". Understand that, had this video been titled "my personal ranger build" I wouldn't have cared, but "best" ranger build? That is bordering on deliberate misinformation. It is likely actually harmful to the player base. Anyone who sees this and follows this guide has a good chance of not even making it to Act Three because they get killed by bosses over and over and quit playing. But yes, as a researcher the fact that the video creator was not willing to read even one page of actual information on the class they're making a public guide of, is making me hella mad, so I understand why that seeped through into my comment, even though I tried to not be rude. At the end of the day, an employee of a gaming news website should have higher standards than this, or he should at least not complain about AI replacing him, because I'm pretty sure ChatGPT would have done a better job.
@@lyrrr.8059 I get you, as always text can be misinterpreted and seems I've done just that and read it negatively. Like I say your not wrong, your points are extremely valid for the current DPS of a lightning ranger so people will benefit from reading your points. I've breezed through to HC following what I feel is a very similar build to what you would suggest for a Lighting Deadeye.
I'm working a lightning deadeye, and I would have definitely mentioned magnetic salvo and increased damage to enemies poisoned in this. Out here doing silly research and just finding guides for things that aren't accurate enough.
