Level 74 atm with 3.4k life (only 1 more 4% node I can get), 16k TS tooltip with no procs/frenzy, 36.11% crit and 246% multiplier. I'm starting to feel a bit squishy on t8+ and having a difficult time finding affordable jewelry with better life as I can't afford to lose any str+int due to EC, IC, and Mark. Think its worth dropping Maligaro's for some decent high life gloves?

Also remove the 10% projectile speed + 6% projectile damage OR the 10% projectile damage passive node in the Fury Bolt wheel near duelist.

does anyone know why neversinks build's have this?
that 10% proj damage has to be better then the 6% proj damage, 10% proj speed right?

Is it something that effects LA, blast rain or something?

Regarding items: Yes drop Maligaro. Either go for Shadows and Dust, Facebreaker, Snakebite or a good pair of rares (remember you can enchant 12% attack speed on rares and they make resists easier + give you hp. Rares are a good choice).

Why would you do that? Shadows and Dust are way worse against Bosses and the required dps for Maps is very easy to optain.

the Scion talenttree is not working when you klick on it it only is the normal ranger tree
can you fix this pls?

Which ascendancy should I go if I want to transition into TS drillneck? Right now I'm deadeye with Ricochet(+1 chain).

Yes plz

this build swaps so well for physical reflect, the LA with PTL and WED and the free chain from deadeye actually boosts your clear speed depending on the rest of your gear

wish i could say the same for ele reflect though, such a huge DPS loss losing hatred/herald of ice and WED/PTL on the tornado shot

For ele reflect get haste instead of hatred, and swap la into tornado, chain into fa or ppad and ptl into increased crit chance and wed into iron grip
vs bossess frenzy + ballista - however im darkray raider with 9 charges so that helps frenzy to be similar to blast rain dps wise

For phys reflect la and ptl for aoe and blast rain + ptl(instead conc effect) vs single target

Thats the power of this build, you can easily run unidentified maps and swap gems accordingly to what you see, socket color are same. And dps loss isnt that big

"In addition to the tier effects, the character gains 1% increased movement speed for every ten kills in the rampage streak."

Clear speed. Movement is a very important stat for your overall character performance.

Thanks for the advice. Tree you linked doesn't show up, however.

Sorry -



The idea is only to show the other route that goes through Nullification, ignores Revenge of the Hunted wheel and an overall better path to pierce nodes. Fill out (or remove) any other passives you want

I am getting absolutely wrecked by any and every reflect mob and I wanted to ask if I could switch to LA (Voltaxic) with little to no skill tree/ascendant points change, I leveled as tornado shot, is this possible or would I have to level from scratch again?

No. You need some change. There are basically two ways to go about Voltaxic. A defense (look at top 100 hardcore perandus ladder. Lots of Voltaxic users that basically have the same setup) or an offensive (look up Mathil's Offensive Voltaxic setup).

For dealing with reflect as phys bow look up this thread https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1549663

So, I have been running this using a +5% Shrapnel Shot as my main attack. I am currently in Act IV of Normal, and I am a 43 ranger. I am curious if you think shrapnel shot scales well enough to keep using or should I replace it before I get too attached? It is pretty nice having the arrows always pierce.

Also, a second question. I am inexperience at the higher level difficulty play. Before they added Act IV, I think I made it to Merciless Act I and always screwed my build up.

How do you tell when an items passives are outclassed by another items just raw damage; and vice versa? Or is this just test it out and see?

For example, I am currently using a Roth's Reach bow. 5 sockets, only 3 are linked.

Stats, cause I couldn't figure out how to properly link mine.
(60 to 80)% increased Physical Damage
(20 to 40)% increased Elemental Damage with Weapons
(4 to 8)% increased Attack Speed
Skills Chain +1 times
30% increased Projectile Speed

Low damage but the passives are crazy. At 43 should I be looking for a 4-5 link Yellow bow, with 100+ damage? I know this is probably a question that has an answer close to YMMV, but this is where my naivety comes into play.

Thank you for any advice in advance.

got Edict of fury on my gloves.

yeah, its pretty great.

repeatedly fires a piercing projectile based on your weapon, converting some phsyical damage to fire. The projectiles form an arc in front of you. has a 5 second cooldown.

is the skill description.

the blue text is then:
attack with this skill when you hit.
fires 10 arrows in a spiral.
100% chance of projectiles piercing


my base attack damage with hatred is, 144-352cold, 26-410 lightning damage, 330-833 phys.

edict of fury's list damage is:
303-740 cold, 402-1016 fire, 54-861 lightning, 346-875 phys.
Which means it has a 110% damage multiplier. (or 210% of base damage.)


making use of this.
well, its 100% pierce. that might impact your choice.
it DOES apply on hit effects for attacks. for example, mine does actually say "3 life gained for each enemy hit" as well, since I have 3 life gained on enemy hit on attack on my quiver.
it converts to fire. about 50% I think, then I have some weapon ele damage on belt, rings making the discrepancy.
it gets 210% of base damage, but has a 5s cooldown. raw damage/crit have value, attack speed does not for it.

total value. yeah. nice little burst on start. I have 3.62a/s 18attacks over 5s.
at just over the value of 2 attacks, this is then 11% of my damage. err. no thats silly. 11% of base attack value. not the supported attacks, getting ppad, wed, FA, or shotgunning of TA. uh, will check that later.
So my TS has 3.82a/s, and 697-2087 total damage 4link. 19.1 attacks/5s. 1740.5/hit x19.1 hits= 33,243damage over5s. (shotgun x3 average= 99,730 over 5s.)
edict of fury is 1105-3492 total damage. 2851 av. 2.8% of the 99,730 average shotgun over that time.

slightly more with less shotgunning, or frenzy, slightly less with more shotgunning, and more links on the TS.
