[1.xx] Islidox's Build tips/critique section for Rangers

I see soI see so much build I'm going crazy.
What is your current build Islidox?
I'm starting now. I could reset the skill points later?
It has some good build to follow because I do not understand anything yet game


(sorry for the English. Google translator who helped me) hehe

This is my current build: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/69224/page/30#p4113880

Don't bother with the builds on the front page. I need to edit them for 1.0.0. Also, those builds are mainly a guide to the more popular builds. You can find more in depth guides in the Ranger forum.

i dont know if this has been asked before but i was wondering that why dont you use blood magic gem instead of mana leech gem? you have linked mana leech on your frenzy.

i am using your build right now but i am unsure about the whole mana leech thing with the main attack skills. i was thinking that if i would use blood magic with frenzy, split arrow, rain of arrows and with other utility skills i could use all those passive points into something else than the mana nodes plus i could easily use 2 or 3 auras.

am i missing something or is mana leech so much better and viable choise then? :P

I should have read this before I started.
Thanks for the contribution. I skimmed through it and plan on giving it a thorough read later on tonight.

I just couldn't wait and had to jump right in :)

I posted my "how am I doing" thread before I saw this here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/554670

@yowiewu: thanks for picking that up. That was odd, since the link in the url is there, but I've fixed it.


@KamelJabber: yea, PoE's barrier to newcomers is really the amount of information needed to know to make a successful build and acquire the funds/gear needed for it. Currently I'll get to the builds section when I can, so ignore that for now. They're just snapshots of what popular/strong builds look like at endgame.


@undomir: There's a few reasons why I use ML, and that's because of how the Ranger is situated and the overwhelming amount of Dex she gets.

1. Ranger will never get as much life as some of the other builds if you stick by the Duelist/Shadow area.
2. Dex doesn't give life like Str does
3. Lack of life regen/leech in the Dex part of the tree. With the exception of heavy investment in the Duelist area, you're better off relying on ML instead.
4. Frenzy is a mana-hungry skill. Socketing a BM gem in light of the above factors, you'll end up losing way more life than you can sustain it. Don't forget that Frenzy speeds up the more you shoot with it (and hit). BM support doubles the mana cost to insane proportions.

Hope that explains things.

My own 1.0.0 phys/crit/evade Ranger has been updated.


So these links are updated? From page 30?

1. 25 points in

2. 39 points in

3. 61 points in
- This section will hurt due to the fact that you're spending a majority of your points on dex nodes to reach Mana Flows. The Beef and Wisdom of the Glade notables (+30 to x) are important for leveling your skill/support gems, especially your Decoy Totem. Once you get some proper gear with enough Int/Str stats, you can respec out of the +30stat notables.

4. 81 points in
- Grab the 6/6/10% life cluster before moving up to the Shadow tree. Get Nullification and Mind Drinker. Getting Revenge of the Hunted comes last. You should be around the low-mid 60s at this point, and should not be facing Piety until you get those notables.

5. 99 points in
- This should be the level 83 mark, and ripe time for maps. Grab the following notables in this order: 1) Savagery 2) Assassination 3) Conditioning 4) Master Fletcher 5) Acrobatics 6) Charisma 7) Talons of Murder. I also spec out of the Beef/Wisdom of the Glade/+6 all rez node by the bottom. Your gear should be nearing completion and be capped out on rez and Str/Int. If not, take a few points out of the 2x 15% increased physical damage nodes by the Aspect of the Eagle and place them into rez/attributes you need.

6. 110 points in
- Get more life, get Phase Acrobatics, get the 2 15% increased physical damage nodes next to the Aspect of the Eagle notable.

7. 117 points done
- Fill out the tree to whatever you believe is lacking.
