Toned down my critical multiplier tree so i can't be 2 hitted by reflect mobs. I'll do a respec once i get decent HP armors.

hahaha ikr.

My DPS for frenzy goes up from 5.5k to 7.7k 7stacks frenzy using lionseye.

Reflect mobs/rare are really a pain for me now since my DPS & Crit Damage is quite high. If i crit 3-4 consecutive shots it's instadead for me. :( I'm really looking forward on Vaal Pact keystone to counter reflects. hmmmmmmmmmm

That is actually quite disappointing performance. Lioneye's Glare is an end-game bow but 7.7k DPS on buffed Frenzy is not as high as I expected.

I have Frenzy crit build, which gives me 7.7k +/- DPS with my citadel bow. I have Broadstroke and Maligaro's Virtuosity so the crit is enhanced. I have just recently 1shot myself when I hit reflect rare and monster behind it (I have piercing shots).


I guess your build need more crit chance or still some pieces of gear are missing.

Guys how much damage is this build supposed to do when you are a little above 60s?

I am currently at 64 and my dps with Frenzy is capped at 2.3k DPS with the maximum amount of Frenzy charges. I have some kind of problems with this damage, especially as I try to progress in Act 3 Merciless. Most mobs, even when left alone require 3-4 hits with frenzy to die. If the mobs is a rare then it might take up to 20-25 hits before dying, and if I am unlucky enough to be a boss then I should probably TP back to village to refill my flasks about 2 or 3 times before I could kill it...

My defenses are as following:
1.4k life (Carnage Heart Amulet)
46% Damage reduction from Armor
All resistances besides Chaos capped at 75%

Edit: I am using Maligaros Virtuosity and my Crit chance is 17% and my Crit Multiplier is 254%.

The damage of this build, and I guess pretty much any Frenzy physical builds, are rather mediocre in early 50s all the way to late 60s. You have to learn to live with it and maximize your potential via skill/gem setup and gear--hope for RNG gods be with you.

Finish getting all the major DPS keystones while not completely ignoring survival. You will want to get your crit chance to 24-25%--I started to notice critical hits when I got above 20% crit chance and 2 APS.

My Frenzy setup: Added Fire Damage + Faster Attacks + Increased Critical Damage + Mana Leech

Added Fire damage support gem with proper physical damage bow is a great way to boost DPS and damage/shot ratio.

Just replaced my broadstroke with a slightly better rare quiver with survival stats on it. Got no maligaros, only magnate belt sitting on my stash waiting to get some decent helm and boots before i replace my belt to magnate.

I prefer crit chance over crit multiplier passives for now until i get some decent HP gears then respec later. The more i stack crit multiplier the faster i die on reflects.

This is my first char in POE. I'm level 69 (on default) largely through piggy backing docks groups. I have 550 base auto-attack dps (Pre-frenzy charges). RoA is at ~700 (Pre-frenzy), Frenzy at ~760 (Pre-frenzy). Passive wise I have followed the build exactly and will be getting "assassination" in the shadow tree area with my next point.

Question: My dps is beyond awful (obviously), I'm basically useless, what should I be looking to get? Magnate / Maligaro's are beyond what i can purchase being 1 exalt for magnate minimum, and seemingly 2-3 exalted for Maligaro's.

Am I basically just at a position where I have to continue to piggy back and save up greater currency? Is this build just extremely gear dependent?

Thanks for any help / suggestions.


Gear in Spoiler:

what should be the average dps for physical ranger?

Im level 61 my DPS is 797 going around 1000+ with frenzy 5 charge, I feel weak LOL

Please see my gears below, comments and suggestions are very welcome TIA




changed my belt :D

@ oppersion

I think you need a better bow, also use concentrated effect gem as support on ROA is works wonders.

@ctraltdelete

Try adding crit gems as support on ROA and Frenzy.
