I'm not sure why people keep saying this is a low life build. When using Tabula, 3500-4000 life is very achievable. There are more life nodes within reach as well.

4k life is very low life, most other builds are at 6-8k health right now, to make vaal pact work you prolly need 6k or more, even krip with almost 7k on his discharger is having problems staying alive, like i said vaal pact needs a huge buffer for it to work.

btw i fixed the molten shell nerf

100% uptime molten shell

Not Ranger. There's only one health node cluster this node doesn't take, the Golem's Blood area, which is still doable if you want.

You can't compare a Templar to a Ranger, they're on opposite sides of the tree.

This build is not low life compared to other ranger builds.

I would suggest going back to page 1 and looking at the skills and gems linked there. That should be your starting point. If you're at 2k life, you're missing a ton of health nodes. If you're missing crit nodes, you're not following the build. If you're running clarity, you're not following the linked gems.

But the cyclone version is also melee, compared to the la and split arrow ranger builds.

Also can you link me your gem setup? What do you run in your 4l's? I remade the scion version of your build and am still having survability issues. Even now that I max resed. I'm thinking of dropping Iron Reflexes and running this.


I'm thinking of trying:

Helm : CwDT (leveled) EK LifeLeach Molten Shell
Gloves: CwDT (Leveled) EK EK Life Leach
Boots: CwDT Enduring Cry Imortal Call Enfeeble
Chest : Cyclone + BM + Cast On Crit + Blind + EK + EK

Dagger 1: Grace + Reduced Mana + Hatred
Dagger 2: Reduced Mana + Enduring Cry + _____?

Also at lvl 70 with all the life nodes in your Scion build I'm only at 2.4k hp

Post build and gear.

You are using Blind instead of Life Leech in your 6L. That's likely to be the cause of your survivability issues. Assuming you have enough crit, LL should be more than enough to cover you.

i dont recommend dropping IR, its a very important node for survival with this build, ur gears need major upgrades, must have life on all pieces, im missing life on ring @lvl70 and still have 3.5k life on my ranger, the next 10+ lvls are gonna be all the life nodes near scion tree which will bring me close to 4.5k+ life. btw if ure taking alot dmg, switch to spectral throw spec.

No I'm running Life leach in my 6L Currently I was just wondering what you thought of switching to a blind, evasion, enfeeble for mitigation.

Here's my current gear. I'm in the process of chroming my weapon



My Build is pretty much your scion build with fewer crit nodes for path of the hunter. As I was having serious accuracy issues.




With this I'm able to farm up to 70 maps with ease. But in 72 maps I end up dieing every time I cyclone into a big group of mobs and my knives don't go off. When they go off I usually make it out alive. The problem is when cyclone doesn't proc knives it seems to not proc for the entire duration of cyclone. Thus if I can't live reliably through a cyclone without going off I end up dieing a lot. So I was thinking of running blind + enfeeble + and no IR and stacking endurance charges by casting Enduring Cry in between cyclones.

Whereas my friend's level 70 blender just sits in the middle of all the mobs and never dies.

One of the disadvantages I found with Scion, and pointed out earlier, is that it takes a few more points to become viable.
I would put my next 2 points into Elusiveness and then pick up the extra life nodes around Scion. Then fill in crit nodes.

Your uniques may be great for damage, but are also affecting survivability. You may want to consider swapping them out in the mean time.

For the most part, your gear looks fine. A few items I wouldn't have chosen or I would replace with items that had +health. If my math adds up here, you have a lot less health than I would recommend.

With 72+ maps, I don't quite charge in the way I do in 68 maps, but that is mostly due to desync. Still, the only times I die is when I'm being stupid (I play softcore because I'm a very kamakazi style player) and I don't check for thorns, reflect or when I have a massive desync. Still, that's very infrequent. Maybe once every other level.


My gem setup is a tad different, though I can't really say if it is any different in terms of survivability. I do cwdt/decoy totem/critical weakness in one of my 3Ls. It fits my style.

If nothing else, I would recommend farming library/Upper for a few more levels and grab a few extra points for some health nodes and Elusiveness. Then try and grab some more health on your gear and see if that doesn't help.

Thanks for your comments on my video.
The reason my mana can be sustained is, I use Mana Leech on my 6L.. and because for mana leech to get enough leech back, you need to have high EK output.. and to get high EK output you need to for one have level 16+ EK Gem's both mine are quality 17, its not require to have quality by the way.. then the next step is to get your crit chance to the roof

More Crit = More Damage = More Leech

to break it down more

The more you crit, the more you EK, the more damage you make, the more leech you get in return.


Passive Tree is here


I am heading towards Diamond Skin now and after that finishing at Aspect of the Panther.
that will make up points until level 90. I will finish my character there.
