[3.13]🏹 Poison Barrage-VF / Scourge Arrow / TR PF | Bottled Fortify | The Tankiest Ranger + High DPS

Hello your build looks very interesting. Currently running with a CI TR Trickster. Feels safe most of the time but still dying at some harder content.

What would you say how far can i go with this build with 25 - 30 exalt investment in terms of being tanky + endgame progression?

You should be able to take it pretty far. The biggest question is going to be how far you want to chase damage vs opting for more durability. I decided to go balls-deep on survival so my gear ended up being way cheaper since Phys Taken As X mods aren't worth much to people and are (presently) easy to craft.

25-30ex is plenty to get you a solid chest, a good helm and a strong bow which is basically all the build needs to get rolling. Add in +1 arrow either on the bow or from a quiver and you're all set. Extras would be whatever fancy boots you desire, Curse on Hit ring, and maaaaaybe Bottled Faith? I have a BF but literally only use it on hard boss fights since I prefer the Dodge/Phasing of a Quartz flask otherwise.

Was thinking about playing this, but with Harvest nerfs now im not so sure. Need a lot of influenced items it seems.

Hi all. Any idea what else i can improve here? https://pastebin.com/Ad8rXgAP

Very nice guide.

How will this perform with 3.14 Harvest nerfs?....Any alternate methods to craft all the stuff? (Bcs Beasts & Essences got buffed)

Flesh and Stone now has a 35% mana reservation (from 25%)

also

Hardened Scars no longer grants Fortify during the Effect of any Life Flask. Instead now grants Fortify while Recovering Life from a Life Flask

It hit us big time

is it possible to play without it?

Brutal Manifesto for this build :(

You can play without it, but the bigger loss is the Elder Poison mod. It's basically Darkscorn or Bust for DPS unless whatever replaces it is even half as strong. My own PoB tanks damage down by ~40% with just that alone which is buck wild.

On the other hand, Claws Poison basically gets unchanged by this aside from giving up ~18% DPS with the loss of the mod. I'll probably still leaguestart with this thing because I am a huge moron, but damn!!

Sooo... i asume, we need to see Petrified Blood in action. Maybe that + low lvl life flask or some another way to slow life regen allow "fix" HS nerf. About poison adk... does that nerf also work on weapons that already have older suffix? I mean no legacy poison version?

Overall i think we need see full notes. I dont belive that they will releas only nerf stuff.

[Edit] Found my answer elsewhere - Thanks
