[HC] Gankstaboo's Ranger Guide (RoA, LA) 18k DPS RoA Ranger

Hello There, I follow your stream for a bit of a time and when im not working i like to playing POE and see your stuff, in the last days with this new patch i see that you alter your builds from 1-80 LA and 1-80 ROA.
I see somewhere written that LA is become better than ROA? before the patch your 2 builds were very similar but after the patch you changed the 2. I have different chars but my ranger were following your ROA build before the patch and it was at level 61. im wondering if i respect and put the the 1-80 Build or if its worth it to transform (since im going to respect) in LA 1-80 Build. Just one more thing, im my currently build of ROA i have Point blank , and the dps improve a lot. Dont you think its worth it to get for 2 points in the tree? Thanks

Point Blank is only viable if your damage is low enough to not get 1 shot by reflect!

Hey there,

i just red your guide because i have problems with my my ranger. I am lvl 55 Bow ranger with only 500 DPS and I just got into merciless but i feel like i dont do any dmg. I mostly go in groups because without i would fail hard.

So know my question is: In my passiv tree i used a lot of skill points in attack speed and physical dmg, if i would respec them like in your guide wouldnt i have a lot less dmg than before? Maybe i would be much more tankier but i wouldnt do any dmg at all or am i misssing something?

And another question: I want to go for RoA. Does RoA do physical dmg or Elemental dmg? I also got an elemntal bow...

Thanks in advance!!
So I'm playing my first PoE character and following the RoA build in this guide, friends are sort of helping guide me through it all (40 RNG on ONS).

I'm currently using a lot of Poison Arrow and a lot of RoA to actually DPS, with Frenzy as my single target. Since I also have no mana leech or regen at this point, I rarely run the auras I have (Grace, Anger, Hatred, Wrath).

I still haven't taken BM yet, and I'm wondering what kind of stats I should be looking for before I do. I'm sitting at 277 DPS, with pretty much no life leech or LoH. When should I start grabbing gear (I only have maybe 10-15 Chaos in currency) to make the switch and how much LL/LoH should I be aiming for?

Can i use this, with this build? or its not viable because of the acrobatics (50% less armor)!

Hello,
So this is actually quite a large thread so if I missed the answer to this please forgive me.

Starting a brand new ranger, with little to no gear beyond level 10 can I use this to level from 1-90 and with very low currency which build should i be focusing on?

Thank you.

[edit]
well i read more and answered my own questions i guess.

I started playing poe 1 week b4 open beta came out, then stopped.

Just came back with alot of the new changes (havent read them all or understand em).

Re-starting another ranger mainly following this guide.
What a in-depth guide this is, thanks for the tips and advice along the way.

My dps starting to be low as my bow is way too low level, (lvl 30 as i type).
For those of you struggling with DPS issues at Low Level 1-60. Make sure you are using support gems at your best!!! run Auras like Wrath and Anger on your life (once you go Blood Magic)

4 Link your RoA w/ Weapon Ele Dmg, Faster Attacks, Life Leech, RoA

4 Link your LA w/ LA, LMP, Life on Hit, Weapon Ele Dmg

I have a question about your RoA 1-40 Passive skill map... There are 53 skill points on it right? (120-67=53) If you are level 40 plus all of the extra skill points from normal (or any act) which would be 40+6=46. So where is the other 7 skill points from or was it an error?

A1:
Dweller in the Deep = 1
The Marooned Mariner = 1
The Way Forward = 1

A2:
No extra skill points unless you kill all 3 bandits. Assuming this guide is followed, there is no extra skill point at normal.

A3:
Vicario's Secret = 1
Piety Kill = 2

1+1+1+0+1+2+40 = 46

If I am missing something, please let me know. I am trying to use this guide but I want to make sure that I am doing it right hence the double checking of skill points.

Thanks
it was not a mistake! remember it is just a Guideline. its not JUST till level 40. cause you still have to finish out for the 1-80 spec too. its just to give people an Idea of where they are going
