Hey Guys,

Looking for a bit of help. I am currently running a lvl 37 Ranger in Act 3 of Normal. And I feel absolutely weak.

I'm using Nalaa's static blow ranger build. And have gotten as far as:

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIACC4JEA6tFHUVICmlKk0s6TWSNug6Uj8nSn1N407IVgRW-livWz1jp2egaoduqnRBeA2GYId2kAqbjalurFm18tN-2OvdDd1G37_uDvxO_MX-j_66

For my AOE im using:

4L: Lighting Arrow, Chain, LMP, and Life on Hit

for Single target using: Frenzy + LOH.

One of my issues is that I kill rares extremely slowly. At my the 4L LA according to the tooltip does 50 dps. That seems excessively low.

Remember that it is for multiple mobs, not just one. that 50 damage bounces several times and each time it bounces (with chain) it shocks nearby mobs dealing alot of damage. but if its only one target it only hits once and does not bounce. that is why killing Rare mobs is so hard with LA, which is why you use Frenzy, Elemental Damage, Life Leach, and Faster attacks.

"

In contrast, my Ice shot + ele damage does 280 dps.

thats because you dont have chain and LMP on it. if you do it drops dramatically because of the debuffs of the support gems.

"

I'm not sure if I have enough health, currently sitting on approx ~ 800 health. All resists are around 70. And 49% Armor reduction.

My health is so low, that I cannot afford to run any aura's.

I am planning on linking reduced mana cost to Wrath + Anger and grace.

you should do that if you dont have enough HP. remember to get the HP nods on your way to the main skills, and if you dont ahve enough HP make sure that you are running Grace for the defense.

"

If I'm not spamming Chain into a huge group of mobs my health drops like a rock.

Below is my gear, can anyone help me make this character better. It's my 4th 30+ character and I keep rerolling to find the "right" one. Would really like it to be this one.


Gear :

Thats pretty good.

Thanks for the reply!

Which health nodes would you recommend I pick up?

Second question, why use life leach with frenzy? Doesn't it give me health over time and not instantly like LOH? What is the benefit of running life leach?

Thanks for the help again!

look for the biggest hp nodes along the way that dont require you to add points that are not necicary. the ones by iron reflexes the thick skin 8% 8% 18% is a great one

Life leach can only heal 20% per second but when your attacking one target that's fine, you can test the amount you get back from it but i prefer life leach.

the skills gems u want at 10, and 12? exp lighting arrow an frenzy is that the % of the gems? u want or how far to lvl them? thankss

Im running

3L Frenzy + Faster Attack + Life Leech [but it seeems that it drains my hp a lot maybe because its too fast?]

3L: LA + LMP + LOH [this works really well , now still searching for 4-5L gears]

With Frenzy you generally will lose hp through that skill, at least I always do and I'm 65. hopefully if your DPS is high enough you will kill the mob faster then you lose life (use flasks).

Use LA as much as possible unless there is only one mobs attacking, then kit (run, atk, run, atk, run, atk, etc.) the mob as much as possible using Frenzy and flasks.

"

3L: Wrath + Grace [now my armor reduction 60%++] + Anger
Now hp is around 1.4k and reserved about 300+ hp, and my frenzy is real fast about 3 attack per second when max, and it drains my hp real fasttttttt == Any advice? or am i doing it wrongly lol

There is no need to link the auras unless you have reduced mana connected to them, they don't build off of each other. You also need as much HP as possible. Look for HP gear. It's usually better to sacrifice 3-8 damage for an added 400 HP.

yea flask important XD

That they are

Hi im level 31, trying this build it seems working well. I haven't dropped loh or life leech what are their prices ? I want to get blood magic
