Yes, yes it is. For everyone, not just this build! Why do we need an efficient dps farming build? Because it takes considerable resources to craft DPS + MF + Ele Resist gear. Months and months of farming and map runs are required to reach a point where you dont think your gear can get better. I would say it took me the better part of 9-10 months before I crafted more or less perfect 'Trifecta' jewelry that gave DPS+MF+Res. You are more likely to get an expensive unique from saving before crafting your almost perfect ring/ammy.

This quest for almost perfect gear is my personal endgame :)

I keep looking over these builds. Well, as many of them as I can. I notice one thing in common: huge elemental damage output; pretty much NO resistances, energy shield, evasion, anything.

How do you keep from being killed? What do you guys do for defense? You pass over some huge ES and resistance nodes to get, granted, some higher DPS, but how survivable is that, really, if you're not SUPER good at avoiding enemy hits?

I'm trying to make a good character that goes in this direction, but I don't want a glass build, ya know?

I see a lot of people are beginning to struggle with this build in the later levels, but maybe that's just the game being hard on everyone.

I'd just like to ask what does this build have in comparison to say, the static blow ranger,
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/105793 has a ton of defensive nodes + stable dps.
Do we outshine their dps by miles or whats the payoff for going this route instead?

That build is a good, solid build. Like a dwarf. Strong, but slow, kinda short, not too flashy...but the dwarf is stalwart & won't ever die easy.

This build is the dragon reborn unleashing balefire with extreme prejudice.

**edit: I just had a realization regarding level 66 maps. I believe people see monster level 66 and are under the impression it will be a breeze if they are close to that level. In closed beta, where everything was easier, level 66 maps were HARD for all but the savvy & well geared. The challenge has been increased across the board now that we are in open beta.

Were I to run a map right now at level 66 I would not expect to do well. I still need quality on many gems that I rely on, including curses. I need more curses like temporal chains & enfeeble. I need to craft multiple pieces with 4 links. I need to craft gloves with aps + dmg + mf. The list goes on and on!

(Vanilla WoW comparison eminent) Walking into a map with an undergeared or improperly specced character would be equivalent to showing up in Naxx wearing MC gear. You wouldnt last long or do effective DPS.

Haha! Brilliant! Now I'm reassured that this is the right build to go! Just got an insane ring for my level (50)

Big thanks for this awesome build!
