I'm almost done with saving up currency and getting items needed for this build. What do you think about my items? And what should i look for in my rings (flat lightning damage w/ hp)?

I will not be using the belt and lightpoacher but the jewels i intend to put into the build are embedded inside.

I'd recommend getting a much better amulet (with life and multi) but you should have no issue getting to level 90 smoothly with this set. Remember to use one jewel with blind and hit and well rolled flasks.

Thanks, I appreciate the quick reply! Would accuracy be an issue on this build? Would i need to get T1 accuracy rolls on both my rings to be effectively hitting targets?

You'll want around 600 total combined from gear (any slot is fine but quiver is the ideal place for it). You can make do with less but it will cost you precious passive points put into accu passives.

Neph you're awesome with quick replies!

Another one about the life leech I asked a few days ago - do you need a certain DPS threshold before the extra life leech nodes become ineffective? I respecced out of them and then back in and did notice, what I thought, a pretty significant difference in leech rate. I don't even have lvl 20 gems yet and only lvl 85 so wondered if dps was a factor?

Also I'd ask for your opinion on my gear but dunno how to link it here :(

You might be confusing the concepts of leech. Vitality void will raise the maximum amount of life leech per second so this will always have a positive effect. The two nodes following up to it will not.

Taking vitality void raises my leech per second to 2965, without them I have 2578. I can not justify the 386 life per second for 3 passive nodes.

PoB can tell you if the added leech nodes will contribute to leech amount. This will vary by dps but if you feel having the added 1-3 leech nodes is helping then by all means take them for now. It is also based on barrage at full burst dps ( all flask active and all frenzy charges) but even if I have barrage on a 1 link and no frenzy charges I am still maxed leech with just blood drinker.

Your profile is private so I could not say with certainty either ways.

Hey man,

The build is really fun to play.
I always loved ranged character classes on arpg/mmorpg games, but on path of exile, ranger seems alot in disvantage when compared to others (when thinking about survivability). You depend on the RNG of your dodge/evasion and it looks broken lol

While clearing map nothing can stop you, because you hit from distance and you one hit almost everything, but once you get to the boss arena (and you don't have any investment in LUCK haha), you will be one shoted.

I managed to clear T15 maps in turbo mode, but then i tried uber atziri and got raped. Tried minotaur and got raped. My life pool goes down too fast, and it seems i cant regen back in time for the second hit (that will almost 100% hit, even with high dodge/evasion investment).

I'm not saying the build is weak, no. It is extremelly powerful, but maybe some builds aren't for everyone. You must know a lot of mechanics to play as ranger. You have to take fast decisions.

Anyways, this build is kinda diferent. I like it. And since i don't care for ubers and shaper, I will keep investing on it.



This is my gear. I switched added cold for added lightning on barrage setup, and I'm using a "15% lightning damage penetration while affected by Wrath" watcher's eye. Is it ok or it's better with the added cold + good dmg and life roll abyss jewel instead?

Uber atziri and shaper rely on mechanical dodging and there are only a select few builds who can actually survive any of the mid to large grade hits these bosses put out. You won't really find a truly auto pilot tanky build that can clear maps in any reasonable amount of time.

There is no reason you can not decimate shaper with the amount of gear you have other than lack of skill. I hate using that word because poe is a mechanically very simple game gated behind build knowledge and utilizing poetrade but you ae expecting the build to blind fold carry you in an age where VP is long gone.

As for minotaur, a blind on hit jewel will make it very hard for him to ever hit you. However, a minotaur with 30% damage and added damage as elemental will one shot you through 7,000 life on his burrow attack and there is simply nothing you can do about this, you need to dodge certain hits and there is no getting around it.

Build wise:
-You can re-path the nodes near blood drinker for one saved point which you can put into a 30 int node for a net of 10 int.
-You don't need the single life leech node anymore
-The way you rolled your flask and lack of a reduced charges means you might not have optimal uptime during the clear phase of the map.
-Watcher's eye is fine if you use vinktar.
-Wrong links in barrage(dont use mirage archer...) and some of the gems look like you just got them recently. Every bit of barrage dps (level 20, quality 20) will make a difference.
For your very unique setup which does not utilize very many flat damage abyssal jewels and vinktar/watcher:
Barrage+WED+ele focus+slower+added light+ light pene

You get up to 1.8 million dps with 20/20 gems which is more than enough to clear end game content but just optimal (Belly variants can reach 2.6 million with good jewels) with the way you used bubonic for dps and offloaded the missing resistances to jewels to bolster resistances which in turn hurt your dps potential. I would not change your jewels or overall setup at this point though. This is partly my fault for being more direct about using abyssal jewels since they are overwhelmingly superior and cheaper to standard jewels but it seemed obvious at the time I updated the guide.

Thanks for the hints !

I didn't want to generalise, I was talking about myself, I'm not a pro gamer anymore... I'm turning into a slow gamer haha
Work, family, etc. I have not much time to spend on games nowadays. It makes me feel I'm far behind guys who plays 6+ hours a days, and ofc I am.

Never tried shaper, to be honest. Maybe will do with this build.

Hmm, I will check the blind on hit thing, and pay attention on map rolls when rolling t15+ maps.

As for my barrage setup, I was still levelling it. I will swap the gems for the ones you mentioned. Oh, and the vinktar flask, you meant the one with light pen or the added light?

Thanks :)
