Hey happy new year. Love the build.

One thing I'm having a lot of trouble with though is getting int and str. Right now at level 83 I am using 3 crafting slots on my gear for str and int and also have had to take a 30 str notable on the skill tree just to be able to use some of the gems.

Any solution to this other than just dedicating gear and skill points to make up for it? I feel like this is a problem the marauder and duelist don't have as severely since they can stack str pretty easily as part of their build and it feels like the dex gems used in cyclone have lower stat requirements than the other types. i.e. level 20 cyclone and close combat have under 100 dex requirement. But important tertiary gems like pride have like 150 str requirement. Thats hard to get when you're running ranger and all your connection nodes on the skill tree are giving you nothing but dex.

my stats without gear right now are like

300 dex
104 str
57 int

vs my needs which are

160 dex
155 str
110 int

This is a particular problem because I am getting destroyed by chaos damage which is sitting at -60 and every gear mod i use to get stats is a gear mod I cant use to get chaos resistance.

Happy New Year, after a long time I am writing to renew my compliments for your guides, I practically play them all (to tell you the truth I skipped the archer I don't like it as a type of character).
Again a thousand thanks for your work, I really hope you make a guide for the Templar.
Thanks and happy new year

Hi again. I want to discuss something.

I know you don't use uniques items and it's a guide for SSF, but for a trade league, I want your opinion about this tree modification (check the items too please).

Pastebin code for Path of Building

I will explain what I think: I delete "Charging Offensive" because thanks to Darkray Vectors we can reach 75% dodge attack hits and I want these points invest in more damage. Besides, the chance to gain an endurance charge is when an enemy HIT you, and this is an evasive build, so that is 2 reasons to drop it. The other reason is that the attack speed is enought with the frenzy charges and the boots gives +1 max frenzy charge, so that mean more speed, dmg, etc. I drop "Unpredictable Offensive" because we have enough attack speed without it (no?), again don't need the "dodge attack hit" and is better to invest it in other nodes that improve more our damage.

The problem was to know where would be the best dmg nodes, I would like to reach "Blade of Cunning" and/or "Rampart" because PoB show good dmg (I know PoB is not perfect, so correct me too if i'm wrong here) but requires lv 96 atleast (and we don't want to sacrifice Life), so I choose "Master of Force" (3.1% dmg per point), "Depth Perception" (2.8% dmg per point) and/or Heartseeker (3.8% dmg per point). Of course with these we depend more of crit chance to reach that % dmg, but using "Diamond Flask" we can reach to 50% crit chance (or atleast PoB show me that). So here I have a doubt: People say when someone use crit builds, better have it capped, but that means 95% of crit chance, and we reach half, so... It's a bad idea to use crit. nodes?

And in the defensive part, with Jade, Quartz, Basalt(dmg reduction)/Silver(onslaught), we get 75% dodge attack chance, 54% spell dodge chance and 71% evade chance. I don't know how good/bad will work cause I don't have enought money for now to check it. But I will in a few days.

I was thinking too, what about change a support gem from Cyclone setup to use Impale Support and reach Impale nodes? It wouldn't improve ever more our physical damage? I didn't use a build who took Impale but I read that is the best for physical damage. Like something like this:

Impale Tree = 90% chance to Impale and 99% accuracy rating

If you have a better suggestion about nodes to choose, or can explain me in what i'm wrong or if your nodes will work best, etc., I'll appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi

ist this Endgame Viable? Lacks lot of life (your Videos have like 4.5k life which means you get oneshotted by end game bosses easy if you dont dodge a hit/cast) Can anyone show some endgame content with this build or is it just for some low tier mapping?

PoB DPS: 250k dps (to low for endgame)
life: to low for endgame
resis: hard to cap due to str requirments

Ehhh 75% dodge, 50+% evade 20% block. Getting hit is actually pretty rare. Between avoidance and your defenses you can survive endgame. I'm wearing total junkarino and ive got 4651 life. I imagine with good gear you can bring that up another 1k.

I do agree with the problem of DPS though. Its quite low and there doesn't really seem to be a great way to fix that.

Hey NGXIS!

I took my time to check out your setup after my guests left for the evening. I really like it. You obviously have your flasks the way you do because you're comfortable with flasking lots and your uniques all add a great value to the build with little consequence! I mean, your uniques don't have life, so you'll need sweet rolls on your Rares to get over 5000 life but your offence will be great! If you have the gear, give it a shot! Just keep in mind your tree takes you to level 95, so keep 5 nodes in mind that you'll save for the end that isn't required for your build to succeed.

In regards to Crit, I would agree that Crit is only worth going for if you're going with a crit build. I mean, if crit comes naturally with the nodes you're going to select anyway, then take them. But I only search for Crit nodes when I'm going all out with crit.

In regards to Impale, I normally only do impale with heavy-hitting builds, not fast attacking builds. You can definitely give it a shot, but Impale saves a certain % of Physical damage, so attack speed builds don't benefit from it as much. I doesn't mean it doesn't work well with the build though.

I really like what you've done. Let me know what you think of it if you go for it!

Thanks for take the time to check it! I appreciate. I will use the Impale version just to see if will works nice with the uniques, besides I read that attack speed builds will work well if you reach the 5 impale stacks quickly, so I just will try to see with my eyes...

Another question: The 3-link setup gem like CWDT, Berserk and Blood Rage, didn't put any level restriction, so if we have the 3 gems on level 20, it's a good idea to cast it when we receive 3272 damage? We don't want to cast more often Berserk? Or it's better to have the Rage Support stacks?

And most of builds have a setup with CWDT + Immortal Call, I know we don't have high HP, but there are some reason because you left it on lv2 + lv4 ? Isn't better level it more when we receive high dmg from a boss? If it's for mapping I think is fine, but I'm more afraid of metamorph bosses haha.

Well, I came back with the Impale version of this build, and what I see doing red maps is that is insanely fast on moving and have really good attack speed, cleans T16 maps really fast but for bosses, is something slow. Took like 1 minute to kill boss maps and for metamorph bosses took a bit more (I test hard metamorph and yes, we can't kill them and eventually we will die, so you need to choose well the organs), but is amazing how much I survive besides the HP (4.5k) thanks to Leech Life (node + amulet) + Hp regeneration. If I reach more level, I'll get eventually more Life nodes to reach 5k, so I think is fine in that terms. Maybe the nodes I choose aren't the best of the best for damage or, directly, the Impale version, besides it doubles the damage, isn't the most efficient because we lack of damage. But of course, for clear maps, is something crazy, it's really fast as I said. With leap slam + faster attack supports + 8 frenzy charges, I can run long distances in a few seconds, so I always have all frenzy charges. -9 total mana cost of channelling skills with rings + anointment means free Cyclone, so I can put in my Unset Ring "Precision" lv.1/2, for extra crit. chance (just to help a little).

So... Instead of only Cyclone, I use Leap Slam to jump in enemies pack (that will give us Forify because I change the gem setup) and then Cyclone. Is still for me stress-free haha. I don't know if change this build because Path of Building show me better numbers with this version because of the Impale (with the nodes + Impale support, we have with Cyclone 100% Impale, so... it supposes to double or almost double the damage, right?). I know maybe this build I try isn't something new, but I wouldn't tried it if it wasn't for your post, so thank you Wrecker, it's fun anyway.
