Hey man!
Awesome guide and it's working very well on my 47 ranger in the onslaught league. But im a bit torn what to pick first as a RoA after level 40+ (the 1-80) build. Would u mind doing a 1-60 aswell since I think im not the only one that is unsure what's the best to go for first etc. Thanks tho! |

" Even If I run 7 auras, inner force is not worth it ?? |

Why not attack speed or physical damage as bandit quest reward (cruel)?
Seems a better DPS boost than 1 skill point can possibly give. |

I've decided to keep using inner force as I need to put the points in to get INT anyway.
This is currently my build: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAnEEswUtDH0OrRB_FE0UdRUgFm8Y2xkuGYUZtBo4GmwhYCSqJ-0pTymlKk0s6TIJMn4yiTbpOuE8LT8nQKBDnEp9UFBUSVXGVvpX4lhjWfNfP2BLY6dnoG6qdEF07XTxd-V6uHrvgpuDOId2iPGMz49GkFWdrp65ogCkwqZXpwinhKyqrpO3PriTud2-p8APwBrB2MT2xp7GrsbYytPNmM9l0NDSTdSP3Q3dRt7G42rkIudS52PqYuw47w7vTu988B_yL_JF8932SPqx_E78xf4K I am happier with it than any of the variations that don't use inner force. Note that I started as a Marauder, else I would find the bow damage/ipd at the start of ranger pretty attractive. Cheers! Last edited by scribblet#3793 on Jun 9, 2013, 9:17:33 PM

" Did you try Static Blows? It close to Inner Force top int nodes and was used a lot at the beginning of open beta. I haven't played for a while and now is it not popular anymore or was nerfed? |

" hi, still worth it if you play LA. ~Sara |

" Agreed, I play RoA and my DPS is enough (15k with point blank) that I don't need the extra points in static blows for shock stacks. Plus it did receive a slight nerf IIRC, and I don't want to spend any more points up the top of the passive tree above and beyond what's necessary to provide the extra utility that I get from inner force. I really hated dropping inner force, the buff to determination and grace is still fantastic (almost equivalent to getting 30% armor from passive nodes for me) and because I didn't start in the ranger tree it was harder to keep my DPS up to pre-patch levels with Gankstaboo's revised build. The inner force buff to the elemental auras is definitely a noticeable DPS increase. Ultimately, because I solo the entire game and intend to push my char through to at least mid 90's by doing maps, I will probably head towards unwavering stance and the steel skin armor bonuses down there. When (if) I get Kaom's I might drop some HP nodes here and there. The thing that gives me the LEAST benefit is attack speed since I'm already at 0.23secs for RoA cast, in fact I think it is questionable to get the 2 attack speed nodes in the duelist start area above the projectile damage. I don't see the point (about 4% extra dps for me)! The sheet DPS is definitely not reflective of the actual utility. Playing alone, I move and shoot a lot, when safe to do so I will stand still and spam. Attack speed only complements one of these playstyles, I think it's possibly more beneficial in group scenarios where you have a tank mitigating damage taken by the whole party. My tank is a summon skele totem. |

" Im current at level 61 in hardcore league with a 5 linked bow, in your level i suposed that you are using blood magic gem right? Right now my char is blood magic , and dont know if i use the full reset to make the transition. |
