I'm doing an acrobatics dual wielding spectral thrower, lvl 32 at the moment. Not very interesting though, besides maybe the point blank keystone. Name's CT_Elegy.

I have reave that I was thinking about using for a while but I just don't like using it very much.

Here's the tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYB_5MeGjBUmVcoKrVIsbPrju1Brs-mf4fbFr9h4ud03vbo1s3qBbXUI42_3ahRR8ainycwfDBxTZJ_K0t4d9fWijpCdEEUdaTCOu0=

edit: haha nevermind I am bad at reading comprehension

My EK Life Scion (Scion_of_Magic) is kinda great, and easy to play even for a poor noob (like most of us now :D).

Running Hatred, a ton of Life, a ton of Mana, a LOT of Damage and range, Iron Reflexes, Evasion Nodes. Tanky as hell.

What I want is Cast on Damage Taken (level 1) + Molten Shell + Increased Duration + Enduring Cry
Self-Cast Enduring Cry just in case
Cast on Damage Taken (large amount) - Immortal Call - Increased Duration

Gear (very cheap, or self-found):

EDIT: Leveled quite a bit since, am now level 73, much better gear, use Lightning Warp on Damage Taken for breaking enemy formations and closing on ranged mobs automatically. Or Summon Skeleton, on the same Blue.

On Stun, I get Rejuvenating Totem, or Devouring Totem. And it's also a great chance to show off the which is sorely in need of love and attention. Along with my other defences, it renders me all but immune to Physical Damage.

G'day everyone,

I want to submit my Ranger. I created this build 1 week before release, but I tested it and it still works just fine.

Name: IAmNotAScion
Lvl: 60

Why I suggest this build:

This is a very beginner friendly build, because it is easy to gear an play and also I had much fun.
There is no leveling build or anything, you just start off with what u will still use at lvl 60.
But still the build provides some clever tricks (nothing too special though).

Skills:

I use Ethereal Knives as my main Spell (You can get it by doing the first few quests with a shadow easily, or trade it). I use it instantly a t lvl 4.
It is supported by Faster Projectiles, wich is enogh for a long time. After that you can add either Added Fire Damage or Mana Leach or both, if possible.

Auras:

I use Clarity on life via BM-support gem and Hatred + Tempest Shield on Mana. I still have approx. 200 mana left to use.
Tempest Shield is linked with Blind for ultimate safety. (At the early levels i used Lightning Trap supported by blind, to be more consistent)

Defense:

You can play this build either with hybrid Evasion/Armor gear and use Iron Reflexes or you play it with pure Evasion gear and get the Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics Keystones. Like this, the build is extremely open for gear choices.

I use Crest of Pendarus as a cheap unique because of its high life and block chance early on.
In combination with Tempest shield and the blocking notable nodes in the Ranger/Duelist area this is a pretty good Blocking defense.

If you can afford to buy a Stone of Lazwar that would tremendously increase your defense vs. spells.

After all, no uniques are required for this build! But already these 2 cheap ones increase its' power a lot!

Edit: New combination =
Cast when stunned + Molten Shell + Decoy Totem (Later it will be 'Cast when damage taken')

Important Passive Nodes:

- Either take Iron Reflexes or the Acrobatics cluster (Ondar's Guile if you decide to take - - Evasion!)
- Precise Interception and Testudo
- Diamond Flesh
- Ballistic Mastery
- Revenge of the Hunted

If I progressed further, I would've gone for Eldritch Battery and Mind over Matter. Atleast that was my plan.



Pros:
- Easy to level 1-60
- Easy to gear
- Easy to play (still practicing using shift+click to attack helps)
- High defense, unlikely to die (HC viable)
- Nice looks because of Tempest Shield :)
- You can get every gem you need from quest rewards
- Does not require many linked items (but if you have maybe 3 four-linked items it can become pretty powerful)

Cons:
- damage output is not “huge”

The build is capable of doing solo, though the 2 uniques helped a lot with that.
I had lots of fun playing it, and I really like the cool look of it! ;)

Thanks for reading!

Edit: Dammit. My Nemesis character died. But now I have access to my new skill combination for this suggested character.

Cast when stunned + Molten Shell + Decoy Totem (Later it will be 'Cast when damage taken')

Doing mine-trap minion master. I probably won't get everything i need till Monday, but i'll join for Episode 3+.
