i would spend 2 points on life and 2 points on the jewel socket with vaal pact :) that should give u like 17% more life. You can also use inspired learning at the right socket with heartseeker if you are only farming low lvl content :) I like your gear alot better now. But i think your jewellry needs upgrades. Especially your amulet. It needs legacy crit multi since you are in standard (combined with wed and life and accuracy). I think i would use a GG ventor also instead of woe circle if you can. sol nail isnt very good either and could use upgrade last. Rest seems good.
Edit: get shock removal on another flask than the life flask and get bleed immunity on life flask instead.
Many thanks for the help :). i have changed the tree and took 2 life points and 2 jewels. also crafted couple of jewels and exalted 1 of them and turned good.
Am aiming at the moment to reach lvl 100 once i do ill change gear to maximise my IIQ/IIR. I was thinking of going with buying 1 Gold ring 20% / 50% But thats almost a mirror and not sure if that is worth it. I seen 1 person on the forum doing mirrors of them.
For the Emulate, am still looking for a cheap one almost all the good ones are over 10ex. Ill keep searching someone will showup from the offline ones who are selling them cheaper :).
I noticed Lanfear88 mentioned getting levels before going MF. That seems to be true. I am lvl 76 and I cannot survive at all. In fact, I am not even killing the final boss in maps. If a box freezes me, I leave that alone as well. The reason being 10% death penalty. I feel like around level 86 life will be a bit more easy, however, maps will get harder.
Love this build and having fun, just having to be very careful or I will never level. I am not sure what to do to live more. Have to have dps, but need life also, hard to do both. I took my belt that has iiq and iir off for now until I can get my life up. I can see where Kaom's could help, but the cost sucks. A rat's nest with additional arrow is like 8ex min 30ex for 2 arrows. This is one expensive build for sure.

If you need any help in lvling i can give you a hand. pm me in game IGN: Waficscion
It is an expansive build. But once you hit lvl 90+ you will have more dps and survive more. I would n't recommend using MF gear before you hit lvl 90.

Upgraded Jewels
I'm 99,9% certain area damage doesn't work with tornado shot, maybe for the explosion but i don't think even for that, so thats not a good stat on the jewel sadly.
I still got my pre-mirror ring which is for sale, i want 65 ex for it though, but its cheaper than mirror :D

Ye its pointless to use MF gear when leveling, use it when you are comfortable with life and dps, and add one and one piece.
I took a look at your gear and i can see why you are struggling. You miss vaal pact which is the main defense mechanism. You miss leech since u didnt pick up the claw nodes. First, get rid of the 5 nodes spent on mana (mana flows, essence sap), and use them on the claw nodes up to the leech one (soul raker). and get 1 point to spend on vaal pact. Also remove the empower from your aura setup and put it in wep swap slot to level it, you need some extra unreserved mana when you have low damage. Put it in again later when u got better gear/levels.
Your flask setup is totally horrible. Get instant life flasks, use quicksilver flask, diamond flask and basalt flask (Later dying sun when u got currency). with rith one rolled with freeze immunity, one with curse immunity and one with movespeed. life flasks should have bleed removal.
Your rings/amulet/belt are super bad. You can add me and contact me ingame and i will give u some upgrades for free. Also use atziris step for goldwyrm until higher level.
Dont use rats nest with additional secondary arrows, its too expensive. Use a rare helm with the enchant instead, it also helps with resists and accuracy and life.
Hey friend! I just want to ask a few things about the build
I've tried bow ranger in the past and I gave up on it at level 87 due to having a slow PC and dying too much because of it. I'm thinking about coming back and trying it again since I LOVE bow builds and I screwed up most of my other non-bow builds. I even spent 2 exalts to buy orb of regrets and now I regret it...ironic *sad smile*
Do you think I'll be able to play it on the current league? I have about 5-6 exalts in harbinger at the moment but I'm thinking of keeping them for now.
Will a 5 link Windripper work? I also have a 5 link armor and I can try to craft it with good stats...or at least decent.
My last question would be on how to progress the tree because my last ranger had about 4000 HP and the mobs were BRUTAL.
I just want to know if I'll be able to get it started with minimal costs and hopefully get better returns in the future.
PS: If I get a mirror drop I promise I'll get a 6 link *cries in casual*
For one, this is a scion and have easy access to life wheel, and you can reach 5.5-6k hp without kaom. Kaom is the best option but is super expensive in league currently and should be upgraded to later.
I would start of with mainly dps items and upgrade later to gg MF gear that is used in the guide.
To start off i would buy a 6 link chest and just get a good roll windripper without needing to link it. Just make sure it is eva or hybrid eva based, because u need 3 green sockets. Here is a premade search i made for u: http://poe.trade/search/asiniatooboima
Should cost you around 40c for the 6l and 25c for a good roll windripper.
Grab a rare helm with +2 tornado shot projectiles - should be 20-40c.
maligaro gloves 2-3c.
Atziri's step boots 2c ish + grab acrobatics and phase acrobatics from skill tree.
Thank you for the reply. These are some really good items you've recommended me so I'm going to save it and try it out when I've stacked up on some currency. I'm still trying out some other builds so I don't know when it will happen but I'm definitely going to try a bow build in the future. Good luck and have fun.
