Looking to try a bow build. Not sure how this can be a first character while needing blood magic gem linked to everything? Or it just cant be a first character in a new league?

Great build so far!
I started like less than week ago, and ive already reached lvl 60 :) I´ve noticed that bigger packs are not a problem but strong single targets are the threat to me. Here is my gear so far! |

" this build is great as a first character. what you CAN do is what I did: Do the same thing, just start as a marauder. You'll get all the BM gems you need. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAnEEswthFE0VIBZvFy8ZhRm0GjgabB0UJKonLyftKaUqTSzpMZ4yiTWSNuk64TwtPfw_J0TnSn1KyE3jTipVxlXWV-JYY1nzW69fP2TnZp5noGe9ajtsFm6qcql35XgNeWh82YCkg9uHdojxjM-PRpBVm6GiAKSsplenhKgYqW6sqrXytz68n76nwBrBBMT2xq7G2MrTzZjOcc9l0NDdDd7G42rjn-pi7Djub-8O8B_yL_JF8932SPqx-tL8S_zF_gr-jw== what you need for my build is an alpha's howl. if you can't get one, don't use the scion life wheel, but go for the other reduced mana reservation nodes in the tree. I play invasion with this build. for softcore, you can just skip a lot of defensive nodes and pick up all the elemental damage and attack speed nodes in the tree or head straight for the ranger starting area. |

I 5 linked my bow today and now im all ready to tackle maps!

Is there a point where you should switch out Life Gain on Hit for Life Leech on split arrow? My total combined damage is 1293. Wouldn't a 20/20 Life Leech work better?

Hi Guys!
I have been following this tread for quite some time. Mostly lurking and I'd thought it would be a good idea to post my current build/gear so you can get a realistic idea of what this fantastic build can do! I would have to say that I have been quite lucky with a lot of my gear, and the biggest improvements for me have been getting quality on my gems, all those little percentages stack up!
Gear & Item Cost
Now a 6 link is not really needed for this build to work, its just that 6link makes it FLY! I have added what I paid for all my gear all searched on poe.xyz(no they are not for sale :) - Lucky Drop 8 Chaos Buy. 40 Jewelers for 5socket, 10fuses for 5l (very lucky) - Total Cost : 15chaos 7 Exalt, 20 Chaos Rerolls - Total Cost : 7.5 Exalt 10 Chaos 8 Chaos 2 Chaos 7 Chaos 5 Chaos 2 Chaos 5 Chaos 2 Chaos Total Cost (Excluding all the fuses/chromatics/jewelers i used for my boots/glove/helm) 8 Exalt 23 Chaos. Cost Without 6 Link - 57 Chaos I Also bought all my 20% gems from poexyz @ 20 chaos each : Thats 100chaos or about 2.5 exa extra So all in all, total gear + gems + 6l : 11 exalted orbs (give or take)

DPS Numbers
Here is what my dps looks like in town, with auras, with auras + frenzy, with auras + frenzy + atziri flask. 
Pros
After playing this character in a lot of different situations and mobs, I can say that this build has fantastic AOE. You apply shock stacks very fast which also helps teamplay. Great solo and group AOE damage, and lots of survivability. Being able to shoot mobs from afar makes it very fun!
Cons
My single target killing speed is very slow. Even popping all my buffs and casting elemental weakness, I still feel I'm not nearly leeching enough life or doing fast enough damage to take out bosses. I struggle a with a couple of the 70-74 bosses and die when I'm not paying attention. This will probably change a bit once I get all my gems max level and a 6link bow.
Closing Statement
This is definitely one of the funnest/cheapest builds I have ever done. A very solid build with lots of AOE killing power without breaking bank with superuniques like shavs. Im definitely going to run this build again when the ladder resets. Aspiring split arrow players are welcome to ask me questions or if you want to see this build in action on the servers. @SeeThreePO See you out there guys! |

" I'm running this as my first Ambush character (as a Duelist), so let's see if it works. :) |

what are the different pros and cons for starting as a ranger/duelist?
Is duelist a better class for this build? |
