Path of Exile Marauder Bow Tank Build

I briefly saw "nugiyen" streaming his Ranger's Bow in 1 week race which is like a Bow Tank.

I thought it would be more efficient on a Marauder & probably very useful as a 1st character on OBT HC.
It's got all the Life & Defense though Dps is on the low side where you depend on your auras.

Lastly a Tank in this build doesn't mean you could face tank any mobs but with enough life buffer & defense from mistake.

95 points Stats with Resolute Tech:

Spoiler

320 max life
269% increase max life
4.4% life Regen
93% increase Armor
26.8% increase evasion
30 all resist
50 Elemental Damage
15% Attack Speed

You will probably be using 2H for leveling on Normal as it's easier to do so in early levels until you get Dex towards Iron Reflex, alternatively you could use Light Quiver & Dex Amulet to fulfill Dex requirements of bows.

Only repec RT when you have decent accuracy mods on your gears, though you may argue that with Frenzy giving high attack speed accuracy does not matter. It's a personal choice though.

Add Elemental Adaptation node whenever you think you can cap your resist in late game.

You will be using Frenzy for single target as well as charging up to 3 Frenzy charges for Multiple targets with Split Arrows. These gems are all available via quest rewards.

Weapons choice would be Bow, Physical bow would be best as you have Iron Grip, but a Elemental Bow is still good cus you have 50% increase elemental damage.
Alternate weapon are anything to be able to use Whirling Blades for traveling.

Gem Choice:
Frenzy
3L -> Frenzy + WEP + Added Fire/Faster Attack/Life gain on Hit
4L -> Frenzy + WEP + Added Fire/Faster Attack + Life gain on Hit/Faster Projectile
5L -> Frenzy + WEP + Added Fire + Faster Attack + Life gain on Hit/Faster Projectile

Split Arrows
3L -> Split Arrows + WEP + Added Fire/Faster Attack/Life gain on Hit
4L -> Frenzy + WEP + Added Fire/Faster Attack+ Life gain on Hit
5L -> LS + WEP + Added Fire + Life gain on Hit + Faster Attack

Side note:
Rain of Arrows can be used instead of Split Arrows, get it from Ranger Quest from Hillock.
You could add more skill points if you had more to AoE nodes near Templar for more effect.
3L -> RoA + WEP + Added Fire/Faster Projectile/Life Leech
4L -> RoA + WEP + Added Fire/Faster Projectile + Life Leech
5L -> RoA + WEP + Added Fire/ Faster Projectile + Life Leech + Increase AoE

Alternatively you could follow the same gem choice as Lezli which did some math on Frenzy for multi-targets:http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/67358

If you are not getting Resolute Tech, then you might consider a "Additional Accuracy" gem until you have enough accuracy in your gears to remove it.

Chain/Pierce is optional to replace any gems on your Split or RoA, up to you to swap it around.

With fast attack speed, Life gain on hit is more beneficial especially when you can chill mobs to slow down their movement & attacks speed.

Utility
[Setting up atks/Traveling] Whirling Blades + Faster Attack
[Curse] Projectile Weakness/Temporal Chains/Critical Weakness
[As a Tanker] Decoy Totem
[Auras] Grace/Anger/Wrath + [Hatred (Only use it for Farming or when you have enough Life)]
[Buff] Blood Rage

Blood Rage can use instead of Frenzy to gain charges when farming as "Life gain on Hit" gem should be able to mitigate the chaos damage, though use it at your own risk.
