[1.3] Blocking Volcano strikes ! The weirdest Ranger ever ?

Hello exiles/mate/bro'/dude : i'm sorry for my poor english, but i'm french


You're way to impress ladies with this build



About me

Since my PC went down, I just created a lot of builds (like 2 in a week) for the community. This is idea, mechanics, and most of those builds have been tested by some players ! I want some improvements around those builds, some new ideas and what you think of it thanks to your PoE's experience !


Concept & Requirement

Molten strike is a great end-game melee skill !

=> Deals 120% of base damage

=> Could be use since level 1 to level 100

=> Projectiles could be use in order to create a VOLCANO character !

=> 60% fire / 40% physical : no reflect issue

How to get a high DPS on Molten strike ?

=> Attack speed to create a lot of projectiles

=> GMP + Concentrated effect = amazing combo !

=> Auras : HoA and Hatred

=>Curse : Flamability to increase HoA and Molten strike damages



Passive tree & Stats

Important stats

=> Life : +200% life, 7.4% life regen

=> Tank : +120% armour, +120% evasion (=Iron reflex), +36% elemental resistance, +24% block chance, +305% increased Defences from Shield

=> Mana : 19% reduced Mana Cost of Skills

=> DPS : +40% attack speed, +300% physical damage, Point blank, Resolute technique

=> Buff : +18% Endurance duration, 0.2% Life Regen per Endurance Charge, +2 Maximum Endurance Charge


Gear

There are uniques that you really need on this build.

Windscream : to get the dual curses which be developed later

Bringer of rain : to support Molten strike + getting a high block character

A high block shield as Lioneye's Remorse to be the tankiest Ranger ever

Soul taker : to support Molten strike mana issu and Auras

The rest

=> Rings need Life on hit / Resistance

=> Amulet needs %block chance applied to spells OR resistance/physical damage

=> Belt needs resistance and physical damage

=> Gloves need res / physical damage


Gems, links & explanation


4L of bringer : GMP - Concentrated effect - Molten strike - Multistrike

Spoiler

%q on Molten strike, and other gems are ofc a huge bonus !

The mechanic GMP+Concentrated effect+Point blank is amazing !

Multistrike + Faster attacks (from BoR) gives you a huge attack speed buff


Auras set up : Hatred - HoA - Purity of elements - Reduced mana

Spoiler

Hatred and HoA are a must to get near 45% extra elemental damage !

Purity of elements is a good aura in a "no body armor' 's character


Movement & Curse: Leap slam - Curse on hit - Warlords mark - Flammability

Spoiler

MOOOOOOVE and curse.

Why Flamability ? : HoA damages and more than 60% of our damages are fire !

Why Warlords mark ? : Life leech AND endurance charge to be the most tanky player ever


Endurance charge generator : Cwdt - Enduring cry - Spell echo

Additionnal damages : Vengeance - Reckoning - Added fire damage - Melee physical damage


How to sustain damages ?

=> High armor : Passive tree (eva/armour) + Shield + Iron reflex + Endurances charges

=> High block : 24 (passive) + 8/15 (BoR) + 35 (shield) = 67/74% chance to block

=> 7.4% life regen + 200% max life + 0.2% life regen per endurance charge + LoH on gear + LL on curse

=> A lot of endurance charges thanks to : BoR and CWDT + the +18% duration

=> 40% physical / 60% elemental damage : reflect issu ? NO' MAM'


Bandits

=> +40 life

=> 8% attack speed to get as much as projectiles as possible

=> + 1 Endurance charge OR passive


Gameplay ?

=> Jump to move faster and curse

=> MOLTEEEEEEN ADDICT

=> Vengeance / Recknoning to shoot them all !

=> Endurance charge generator to get the best armour/life regen ever

=> High block but shoot spell minions first

=> It's a tanky melee character but seems to get a high DPS in end-game


Thanks a lot for reading this post. I'm looking forward to get some answers, improvement and questions.
