3.25 Venom Gyre Deadeye League Start Guide/Discussion

3.25 Changes - We gained a huge damage buff from the Base Crit changes to Claws, this will make it easier to cap crit. - Dread Banner has been removed in favour of fitting in Flesh and Stone and Herald of Thunder. We lose some damage here but gain a tremendous amount of survivability from the new Flesh and Stone gem. Leave it in sand stance. - The loss of Ancestral Protector and the Gathering Winds nerf hurts, as we relied on it for more attack speed. In a mapping scenario this won't be noticeable, but in bossing there will some DPS loss. - With New gem Slots from the loss Dread banner, we can fit in a 4L Automation Set up which will give us more speed from Phase Run and survivability from a fully levelled Steelskin - The new bleed wheel gives us more damage, and we trade it for the blind wheel near Point Blank. We will lose some survivability but that is made up by the above changes. - This is reflected in later skill trees where survivability is much less of an issue with better gear. - In the endgame, ideally we get an Enlighten to fit in another 50% damage Aura. This is reflected in the gem links of the Midgame Setup. If you dont have an Enlighten, stick to the Herald of Thunder, or drop it along with FnS, for Wrath - Taste of Hate has been removed as it no longer provides the useful defensive stats, this is replaced by a Silver Flask for Onslaught. If you have onslaught on kill from Veiled modifiers on boots, you can alternatively replace with a Sulphur flask. Levelling Tips - Use 2handers until you find a decent claw and spec into claw nodes. - Early on we are too far away from claw nodes to specifically just use claws. IMPORTANT NOTES - Make sure your accuracy is higher than you maximum life when using precise technique. This can be checked through the charcter sheet by pressing 'c' and comparing the numerical value of 'Main Hand Accuracy' to your Maximum Life pool. - If Purely mapping, replace Added Cold with Fork - Tick Brittle to calculate Boss/Single Target DPS in Config - Pantheons Preference (Names will change in 3.25): Major: Brine (if no ailment immunity) or Lunaris Minor: Abberath (If Exarch altars) or Shakari Endgame Scaling Options - Omni scaling w/ Venom Gyre - Dex Stacking - Ascendant Dex Stacking - Reroll into another Ranger build
