Speedy Puncture + Pierce Split Arrow / Reflect Safe or Glass Cannon / Level 100 & Uber Atziri Farmer

We now get +12 per level instead +8.
Also what do you think about new bow node "when crit with "king of the hill" 80 crit chance, and add knock-back on crits

this node is absolutely perfect, just love it



here some math for your guys:
old max life: 256%
new max life: 121%

old base life with lvl 90: 720*3,56 =2563~ base life without equip
new base life with lvl 90: 1080*2,21 = 2386,8 base life without equip

so overall we will see a huge life nerf, because our life on equipment have a smaller multiplier than before

Yeah but with new dmg buff our main concern will be phys reflect

you're wrong, life from gear will scale worse which will end up in a lower lifepool

Have a lvl 86 split arrow elemental ranger right now and looking to switch with the next patch. Have about 60-70 ex to spend, so obviously can't buy the gloves. Is it doable to get enough gear with 70ex to run this build properly and what should I be looking to get first?

Of course you can well with 70ex budget, I'm only playing with 30ex budget. First thing first I would recommend to get is a good pdps 6L Harbringer with crit >8%. Then if there's enough budget left after getting the bow, aim for a 5L/6L chest with at least 1.5k evasion or more chest with hp and dual/tri resist. After that just mess around and gear your characters with good rings,amulets,belt,shoes etc. glove would be a maligaro with okay rolls, legacy is even better but not needed.

Thanks, I'll try this. Sucks about my new armor that's not useful for this build:



Hopefully I can sell it for a decent price.

Vaal pact surely isn't a great idea since they even buffed life flasks, especially since it got nerfed to the ground a long time ago.

It's really hard to understand what's going on when the ONLY thing we have is the updated passive tree. We have no idea about a lot of the balance changes they may be doing (or they might not be, but I find that unlikely)... Also, to tell what to really do passive wise we have to also wait to see what exactly they change about bows.

It's kind of hard to make a "correct" passive tree now, but there are a lot of great ideas I've seen so far...

1. Dropping power charges. This will be especially true if they increase the crit chance on bows even higher

2. Dropping mana leech node. For 3+ points, it is definitely worth just getting a piece of gear with mana leech

3. Life leech near us on the tree! This is a huge improvement

4. Lots more movement speed. Can't wait!

5. Lots more evasion/resist/general stat buff, which is great

6. Less effective life, but they could be doing other re-balances that compromise with this.

7. Knockback, this will be fun!

But without a lot of details, it's really difficult to make an accurate passive tree. Anyways, here's my go at a character with no power charges, skipping the mana leech. (115 points for ranger start)(https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgIAr-sB0cSi_sin1NwVm40ILu2DGY4AXtN-fXX-uuHboaQbARn-73rnCgqbeOv8xWegh3ZKfd0NkApbryF2hs7BMyzpq9LajSU_Vvqq-Kiiwdh31znUb_KgnzH6dvd_K9aKMHyNfSP2TZJRR6bgfwIylNnGlQXKqV1omvEIiedU_94k_Y2_-uuS815FBbXUI8LsKlt59kM2UuxirJ2qbIzo1psmMgGyGc96IuqxMLUIcaGPTzY9bWy1SAYjAx4fQRa_YeImlVVLjDbz6nBSKgvndOsUYet6U6Q50IFH4iLiFSCiQPT4oSI=)

We'll have to wait for details to optimize

I also think Shadow is a really strong start now as well.

where do you guys read that bows / quivers are getting buffed etc?

i heard drillneck will be cheaper when the expension hits?

Anyone? :P
