I'm going differently than you guys, I'm pretty much going pure Dex.

That's basically what my char is right now..couple guys from my shop are way further than me and were pushing survivability in A2+ in Cruel. Just planning ahead. That's why I'm going with claw > daggers. Daggers will do quite a bit more DPS...claws offer much better survival.

Yeah, I just hit Act 2 and survivability is becoming an issue. I've only got 200 or so health, and just not having INT is putting a limit on how high of a level I can get my gems to. I'm currently building towards the better potions passive and maybe grabbing the extra health also.

I've been using the multi-shot Gem (or whatever it's called) with the Fork support Gem. That really lays out a bunch of enemies fairly quickly. I can usually clear out a big group in 4-5 shots. Aside from that I've been mostly using the Fire shot or just my normal attack.

It's split and yeah I haven't really used it. I don't even really have any armor that has double green so no support gems for me really. I'm mostly been using Puncture and Fire Trap/Rain of Arrows.

So far it gets a thumbs up from me because the installer isn't stupid like many of the other ones I've had to use. The fact it closed and was able to start it up and start installing from where it left off is apparently somewhat of an oddity. Needs a pause though but eh if it works like that can live without pause.

Finally got it installed, playing as RLItzal (was going to do RL2Itzal, but it didn't allow numbers). Just started out with a shadow and so far liking it though I need to find a manual or wiki somewhere so I don't feel like I'm playing totally blind xD.

I'm so sick of these random disconnects. I wish they had an offline mode so I could at least finish the level. Sigh...

There's a ton of good info and well laid out specs on the official forums. My spec is based on one in here, I just changed it around to make it fit the way I wanted to play(claws instead of daggers and lifesteal > crit)

You must just have some bad luck(or I have good luck). I haven't really been having any connection issues other than the first couple of days. Had some family in this weekend so I didn't get to play much...hoping to get a decent amount of playtime in on Mon/Wed/Fri since I don't have class those nights.

edit: I fail at spelling.

I get it at least 2-3 times a mission if not more. However, its still an awesome as crap game haha

my Ranger is runnng low on HP so I'm having to replan my spec points.

I've started to hit this issue now at level 30 as well. I'm heading towards the Iron Reflexes skill and hoping that will make a big difference with my defense. You may want to think about doing the same cause your evasion rating is probably through the roof.
