CI PHYSICAL RANGER LVL 76 WITH 1K MANA POT NEED HELP MUCH
I play CI ranger and i see around me nobody play like me.
So i can not ask them a lot questions as i want. Help me, pls. This is my passive tree http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAAdEFtQdjCC4M8g5IEC0QexEvEVARlhXXFfAY2xmOGf4bAR3ZJJ0k_SsKLL8wfDH6MpQ2PTvhPs9DVEcGT79RR1ZjVvpXK1uvX2piWm0ZdEF08XWKdvd3138Cfyt_xoauiGuLeo2_lQWZmpuNnrmhpKJAoqOly6crp9Sr0q_rtMW297vWvea-OsBUwQDBxcHzwuzDbcSiyqnUBdUA1orXhtsa3BXdDd-Y4vfjhOaB51TrY-wY9Pj1S_lj_MX-yA== anh my pictures ![]() ![]() My gears
Spoiler
As you see picture, i am lack of physical damage, lack of critical chance and critical multiplier, and b/c i use eva + es armor so my es is not much, only 2k3 es with aura Discipline. Here my questions: 1/ Someone tell me, Iron Reflexes is better than Arrow Dodging, in another case, armor for me is better than evasion so they advice me to convert all evasion to armor, keeping my current gears. So armor is really good for me than evasion? 2/ Because of lack es, i am not confident playing in maps. What do you think, for me, pure es armor is better than eva + es armor ? ( i have 8k evasion, 2k3 es with auras Grace and Dicipline at this time). 3/ I am lack of physical damage. How i put it up? By good bow or by passive skill point? 4/ What do you think about Energy shield delay recovery? I have max energy shield delay recovery 105%, and as i understand my time es recovery from 6 sec to 3 sec. But i see in practice, sometime this time is 3s but sometime this time likes 6s. Do i need es delay recovery high or not or better i put points to other passive skill poins of tree? 5/ My accuracy is very low so i want to put it up by passive skill. But ppl tell me, if i use Rain of Arrow, i dont need accuracy b/c RoA is always hit mobs without evasion. Do i need to put accuracy passive point to increase chance to hit? ( my chance to hit is 66% only). Thank you all for helping. |

Your ES problem comes from your gear.
My ranger is lvl 76 with CI, melee DW speced and I have 4500ES Look at my pieces of armor : Try to find cheap pure ES helm/chest for the moment at least, I have an old ES helm that I can sell you for 2 chaos if you want : I used it to link reduced mana + hatred + discipline + grace, the colors are still the same. I would advise you to look for pure ES gloves/boots if I were you until you can upgrade your chest. You can try to get like 30 chaos and play the chaos game on your chest to have more ES on it. I woudln't try it with less than 30 chaos though. It really needs one mode to be awesome, too bad if you chaos it you will loose the 2 res. Your bow is no really good too to me. the Attack Speed is way too low, try to find a better one imho. GGG created half of the end game weapons useless because their attack speed is way too low to compete with the other ones, awesome design that is ..... And forget reduced mana with RoA, use mana leech imho, much better, then maybe you can save 3 points you have in +8%mana in your skilltree. Use poe.xyz.is if you don't already use it to find better gear pieces. I am using Iron reflexes but I am playing melee and without the ES recovery bonuses, having those bonus + evade chances might be a better choice for you. Going that far for diamond skin is not worth in your skill tree unless you want to take the frenzy charge bonus, which can be nice. You can save 1 point on your way to CI, if you go the way up, it needs 2 +10 int nodes, if you go near the minddrinker keystone, you need 3 of them. And atm, rain of arrow is buged, and it always hit, so forget accuracy for the moment if you are only using RoA. When you use frenzy, put a +accuracy support gem if it's only to keep the charges. Hope that helps ! SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading. Last edited by Fruz#6137 on Apr 18, 2013, 9:25:04 PM

Thank you very much for helping me.
As you see my tree, i dont have any streng point so i plan to have about 90 - 100 streng point from belt and ring or amulet. About Tri resist 75%, i plan to have it from armor. Bow and Quiver give me physical damage + critical strike multiplier + accuracy ( attack speed, critical chance). Ring give mana. So i try to get eva + es armor with tri resist. If i use pure es armor, my es can have more than 2k3. But with my passive tree i have 124% increased evation rating and what can i do with this increased evation? Before that, i used to get Frenzy node near Diamon skin but at this time my mana pot was very smal, only >500 mana so i have to erase it by regret orb. Now my mana pot is 1002 and mana regen 56 mana/sec, so i consider better get it again or not. My main skill to kill mobs is Reduced mana -- RoA -- Fast attack - Concentrated area -- increased critical multiplier ( 62 mana/s mana cost), Frenzy - Fast attack - Added fire damage - increased critical multiplier ( for boss) and sub skill poison for reflexed damage mobs, boss. If i dont take this Frenzy node, i can give back 4 passive points and it is very usefull to go way up from CI node to get 5 node 8% increased es. i will try to dont get accuracy passive node as you told me. About reduced mana or mana leech, its the same because when i use reduced mana for RoA ( 62 mana cost/sec), with mana regen 56 mana/s , i almost dont need to use mana pot. I want to replace reduced mana by added fire damage , but mana cost for this complex RoA - fast attack - Concentrated area - increased Critical Multiplier - Added Fire damage is 120 mana/sec. It is painfull for me. Thanks. Last edited by soibien#4829 on Apr 18, 2013, 10:04:20 PM

Well, your first priority is to find a good ES or hbrid ES+EV armor pieces.
When you will have those pieces, fix the resists and what you need from your rings/amulet. ES is your priority, it is the most important. What is the few modification I would do to the tree if I were you : Tree There you got more strength. I droped 3 mana nodes to get minddrinker since you are a physical bow ranger. I dropped the 2 +10% evasion nodes too, just kept the first +18%. Since I took the last frenzy charge, it will give +5%evasion from it when you reach max charges though. Drop the reduced mana gem linked to rain of arrow, if you have mana problems, use a mana leech support gem, this will be much more effective. I would try to get a bow with more attack speed still, the physical rolls are good, but meh 1.20 attacks/s. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Thank you.
I think your modification is one of the best variant for me. Thank you very much. I will do it. |

You can drop the heartseeker ( +30%crit multiplier ) and the 2 nodes before to get assassination ( +40%crit chance +20% crit multiplier ) in the shadow part of the tree too, it's not a lot, but it would increase your damage I think.
you're welcome =) And don't forget, focus on Energy Shield gear first, this is the most important, a chest with a least +350/400 ES will increase your survability a lot. Same goes for gloves/helmet/boots too. You can look for Sin Trek boots, I think you can get some for 1 gcp, and it gives something like 400ES and 80ES which is quite good. Increased movement speed will help you with a bow build too. You can fix your resists with the rest after. For your summon skeleton totem, you might want to try replacing "minion damage" with "faster casting", try it to see what you prefer.

I plan to correct my tree at lvl 77 as below
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAAdEFhAW1B2MM8g5IEC0QexEvEVARlhXXFfAY2xn-GwEc3CT9Kwospiy_MHwx-jKUNj03ZjeDO-E-z0cGUUdWY1b6Vytbr19qbRl0QXTxdvd3138Cfyt_xoauiGuLeo2_kyeVBZmam42euaGkokCio6XLpuCm66crpzSn1KvSr-u0xbb3u9a95r46wFTBAMHFwfPC7MNtxKLKqdUA1orXhtnG2xrcFd0N4vfjhOaB51Tquutj7Bj0-PVL-WP8xf7I - Drop 5 nodes enegy shield delay and change them to 3 nodes % max es. Enegy shield delay is fuzzy , not effective in fighting with mobs. I still dont understand much about Es delay recovery. Half of time es works with 105% es delay recovery increased about 3 s instead of 6 s, and sometimes es still take very long time to recovery. I think better drop it and take % max es. - Drop 2 nodes 10% evasion to get 2 nodes % max es. I am waiting for your advise to new changes. Thank you all. |

you may wanna check that you take no punctunre/burning dmg that would prevent the shield from recovering quickly, it never bugged for me, but I dropped the points since I'm melee ranger.
Drop heartseeker for assassination, it should be more effective. It looks fine to me else, after that maybe you should take the last frenzy charge and charge duration I guess. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Ok i will drop heartseeker for assassination. It is right, assassination is better for me.
Thank you for your advise about replacing minion damage to faster casting. Indeed faster casting is better much than minion damage. Now i can call 9 minions, 6 skeleton and 3 zombie :D. Yes, i will get the last Frenzy charge next lvl. Thanks for helping. Last edited by soibien#4829 on Apr 21, 2013, 11:06:43 AM
