Came up with a few questions for who ever want to answer them
1. What items do u chance this league?
2. When do u start mapping? When capped res? Certain level etc?
3. Any map bosses u skip?
4. Any map u roll exclusively for? Like double boss on a specific map with multiple bosses like Arena etc?
5. Any tip u would like to give to someone who never really mapped higher then 71s?

I can't speak for others, but me...

That's all I can think of right now but if you have further questions don't hesitate to ask.

Lastly, make sure you check my last post, Decibel. My wireless has been acting up and I snuck an edit in that you may have missed regarding your item request.

Thanks for the great answers! By far the best build-author I know of. If u want any help improving the guide with some video-recordings w/commentary, images for fancy stuff etc. Or need any item, I will always be glad to help back!

Yeah I did miss that Edit, no worries. Won't be using it as a trade-thread, just figured if someone had some stuff laying around for sale after upgrades. Some author's won't tolerate ppl asking tho.

Used a talisman ranger I wasn't using anymore and regretted some skill points to closely match your build. It's level 81 with 3k hp. I got a +3 bow with some decent iir(211) on gears and only 15% lightning resist away from cap.
I threw on caustic arrow on my +3.... LOL it was so funny when I went to dry lake and ripped cause my caustic arrow was doing little dmg from being level 1.
Time to grind the levels !!
Edit: I died from confusion as to why it wasn't doing much damage. Just stood there Lel
I have a great feeling about the build though!

Hey man, I want to dive back into Poe after a couple months break and your build seems really nice. I just have two questions.

It looks like you prefer Ranger over Shadow but i found couple of different skill builds (one with chaos damage nods) and since english is not my native language i cant figure out which one I need to follow? Can you please tell me which one do I need to follow?

Also, after the expansion comes out, any idea which class is going to be better for your build?

Shadow if you prefer Iron Reflexes, Ranger if you prefer Acrobatics.

That said:

If you're in Standard (can't tell, your profile is private), go with Ranger. It will definitively trump any other class when Ascendency is released.

I am on standard. I will defiantly go with Ranger if that is the case. Ty for info! How do you know that ranger will be the best?

The Endless Munitions notable. Provides us with free AoE with the additional arrow, allowing us to drop the iAoE gem to include another damage gem.

One thing I've been playing with while mapping is Vaal Summon Skele. It helps with bosses tremendously by drawing aggro.

This I will try to fit in my set-up aswell :)


Update#3 (Next one won't be for a while)
Alright, when I got home from work yesterday I decided to push the last bit from Vaal>Dried Lake, but was invited to a party by @Chronodroid which I had messaged for his Thrift Giveaway, and can't thank him enough for his help which got me this far already! So Thanks once again Chrono if ur still lurking in here ;)

Oh well, down below is my gear atm, bought it as cheap as I could while still getting rarity/life in all slots. Some extra int for level 12 Wither and also being rescapped by 15+, not bothering with chaos res tho.


I appologize for the weird order, so hard to link it from phone (WTB mobilefriendly forum)

Anyway, is there anything you would suggest changing Serleth?
I'm sitting at nearly 4k life (3950ish), I have a cull on weapon-swap atm with a Wand+Wheel of the Stormsail 39% IIR (Flame Totem+Cull+IIR).

As I see it now it all works great, just wished I had more skill slots on action bar. It's filled with Movement+Blood Rage+CA, and Frenzy CoH+Rallying+Wither Totem+Blink Arrow+Flame Golem(Auras).

There's no place for me atm with Vaal Lightning Trap, unless I switch it with movement. But then it will just target something random when trying to flee lol. Oh well ^^

Build works fine and the 20/20 CA it's just sick! Monster's can't stand my smell longer than a sec, which is great. But it's a downside aswell, it makes me lazy to wep-swap for the cull, except on mapbosses ofc ;)

Fairgraves in Sewer dropped me a Unique Bow which I hoped was Windripper, when mousing over it appeared to be Lioneye's tho ^^

If any of u have any tips for me just write here, will be lurking for about 8hrs until I end my shift at work :)

Looks like a good start. Nothing really to contribute right now regarding your gear other than the obvious: work towards the advised upgrades.

Ah Thanks! Still working on improving my flasks tho. But it works for now until I get more alts to re-roll ones in my stash.

Serleth, on a completed build, let's say you would finalize your character instead of challenges, how do u distribute skills to the action-bar? Which ones do u use all the time etc?

Cuz the Flame golem just keeps dying so gotta res him from time to time ^^
