Damn! Extra Arrow Drillneck?! You wouldn't even need LMP anymore. The damage potential of that is insane.

I can't run carnage heart as I need to gain resists off my amulet. Also the loss in life is pretty aids.

Hmm intersting idea dropping LMP, going to see how well that works! :P

I've found the life loss isent to bad for me but then again I play more glass cannon so am more comfortable playing with less health (started killing piety with only 1.7k hps on merciless). With carnage I am at 3.7k health.

For mapping/dominus/piety runs that is fine, I can easily do any map out there currently (prior to 4th edition respec) as I have 4.2K life and plenty of damage 32K on Frenzy self buffed. Palace Dominus is a cake walk. But there is that one last boss I want to kill, Atziri... Only way to do that is to stack on more life. 5K life can only be achieved through a pretty massive respec.

I really would like to see rewrite version of this guide that include all the changes. My ranger is still low level (only 40) because due work I did not have time and would be nice to follow proper tree :)

Respec has been completed, current tree is as follows.


After this respec (Final Respec for 1.1.4) I have the same damage on my Frenzy as before (32K) however it is running as 4L + BM. However my Lightning arrow as increased by a little when self buffed to over 8.5K, this now running as a 5L + BM.

32K Frenzy > Physical Projectile Attack Damage > Added Fire > Increased Critical Damage > Blood Magic


8.5K Lightning Arrow > Physical Projectile Attack Damage > Pierce > Lesser Multiple Projectiles > Weapon Elemental Damage > Blood Magic


This means I am never mana limited, I never lose damage from a dropped shot. The respec has also given me 256% Max Life vs 200% prior to the respec. Currently sitting on 4.8K Life.

I have taken a swing at Atziri. Have been able to kill the Vaal and Champions easily enough. However I am struggling learning the Atziri battle. I found another midnight last night so will give her another bash. This time I'll be running purity of fire.

I'll update the main guide when I get a chance. But for anyone who has been following this build, and is upset about all the respecs. Don't stress, with patch 1.2 I believe all characters are getting a full respec due to the changes to snapshotting and potential changes to the passive tree.

How much to-hit is the 20% Accuracy node worth, just out of curiosity? I feel like you'd get more out of Bloodthirst?

I believe it's 3% chance to hit. Which is not insignificant.

They have apparently now added the ability to give yourself frenzy charges in poebuilder. Bloodthirst ends up being a 1200dps increase vs the accuracy node. I'll make that change tonight.

So pumped! Just killed Atziri!



Pity about the drops... But this build is officially an Atziri killer.

Gratz Bro!

Grats on the kill! Out of curiosity you think it would be possible to kill her with 4k life or do you really need close to 5k life?

I think it would be possible, as the key to the fight is avoiding being hit through movement. I took her from 75% life to zero with one life. I think I took one hit during that time. I wouldn't have survived if I only had 4K life, but it would be possible. You'd just have to have a perfect run.

I think the hardest part of doing Atziri if you're only running 4K life, would be the champions. They can be pretty brutal.

I'll update screenshots and rewrite things to fit with the current passive tree tonight.

Hi im a level 74 ranger going back to the game.
I used to play a lot before 1.1

At that time i was using SaintVitus: Physical crit ranger guide
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/53795

But i found that i really like split and lightning arrow.
DPS and Survivability is an issue right now.


with all the changes i got a free respect of the tree and would like to know how well this build is going in 1.1.5

Here is my current gear



And here is my current tree

What would you do/change with the passive reset ?
