im going to use the intended build for the routine i dont feel like fucking with it, but i need a guide on how i should build my char to this routine and gear and what not.The ranger routine uses these gems by defaut: Lightning Arrow linked to Life Leech/Life Gain, 2) Frenzy, 3) Decoy Totem or Summon Skeletons (linked to Spell Totem if desired).
These spells must be present in the spell bar to be used.
But you can modify it to use fire by editing this file:
C:\<Install Folder\Routines\ApocsRangerRoutine\RangerCR.cs
and under Combat replace "Lightning Arrow" with "Burning Arrow" or "Explosive Arrow" etc
You'lll see in the combat routine that it
1. fires frenzy if not at max stack or <= 1.5 seconds left on max stack.
2. Next choice is lightning arrow if there are 2 or more enemies in range,
3, else back to frenzy.
But, before it even fires a shot it checks to see if you're low on health, and will use LA as top priority. So this assumes you have Life Leech and or
Life Gain on Hit linked to it.
LA and frenzy are a good match because LA is good AOE and Frenzy is powerful vs single target. Make sure your BA is AOE. Use Fork, Lesser Multiple Projectiles
or GMP as needed.
Decoy Totem/Summon Skeletons keeps mobs off you.
You can either go high weapon elemental damage (and use something like a Lioneye Glare), or go with the same build I'm using (which is more crit-focused using a Voltaxic Rift).
Either way, you build around a ton of health, blood magic, LA/Frenzy, and Life Leech/Life Gain on Hit. First thing I did was get a 20% quality Life Leech gem. (Link LGoH with LA, LL with Frenzy, you can eventually switch LGoH to LL on LA when your damage is high enough)
Then I just grab Skele brotem to keep monsters from smacking us (we're not quite *that* tanky anymore) and the evasion aura.
Bear Trap is invaluable until you have decent enough gear to just use Frenzy against rares+. Once you can out-leech their damage or reflect, then you can drop bear trap and take something more useful (like enduring cry)
it was not working for me either but when i restarted the bot it started using totemsI was using the ranger routine yesterday with a ranged attack totem and frenzy and it was working great. Then this morning, I'm trying again on a different computer and it won't recognize the skills.
Ranger routine is really good but why no support for rain of arrows?
