Yes, crit chance is highly important for puncture. I even prefered increase critical strike over a green support when I used puncture, before 2.2 (ie. before ics was buffed so much).

yeah but the only only gem i could swap would be ppad because the others are way too strong, you think its worth the dps loss? its like 5k on tooltip..

PPAD has a 49% more multiplier while pierce has a 29% more multiplier and 50% increased damage because you are wearing drillneck. Even with Drillneck PPAD should still be way better than Pierce in your setup.

Also if you can time poison with flasks (I am not sure if you need to be using a flask when you throw down the trap or when the trap triggers) poison should also be a fairly weak gem since all it would contribute with would be a 38% increased poison damage (and 10% duration which is nice) if you get a 20/20 poison gem. However if you cannot make a trap trigger a poison effect without the poison gem on a consistent base I think your choice of gems seem quite solid.

Consider switching out pierce with ICS though :)

pierce with the doubledip and drillneck is way to strong, but yes you are right had the same thoughts in this sec "the posion gem only offers the poison effect" right? so with the ascendancy it should be useless? ill try it out right now, would hit insane damage then lol.. btw what do you think about my passive tree? changed a few things like the poison and point blank to farm atziri / uber even better (althought i oneshot me now with frenzy when standing close to atziri xD)

edit:// teste it, doesnt matter if potion was active when trap was thrown, wow will be insane freedps since i use 3 quicksilver for atziri anyways

I like your passive tree and jewel stats. I assume Point Blank is something you do because you wanna farm Uber Atziri :)? I don' think it is worth it for any other fight but it sure it strong against her. I would only make small changes like this:

Remember pierce caps at 100% and arrow pierce counts towards the damage aswell. So with your current passive tree you have 50% from talents, 50% from pierce gem and 10% from drillneck. So you can saves 1 passive without missing out on any pierce chance.

Also if you do not need the stats from Primal Spirit you could consider going the more standard Heart of Oak road. However I would not recommend doing so before gaining Druidic Rites (right below Ranger start).

Since you can trigger poison without poison gem pierce is surely the best choice. However even with scaling of drillneck it cannot compare PPAD. The difference is a 20% multiplier vs. a 50% increase. More multipliers win everytime. Anyways it doesn't really matter since you found a better way with 'clever use of game mechanics' :D

Hey guys! Just made it to early tier maps, and I was wondering what I could do to make my character better. I'm feeling a bit fragile, but that may just have more to do with the fact that I get lazy and don't kite as much as I should. I wouldn't complain about any dps improvement tips either. I have around 50-55 chaos to play around with.

Here's my gear
