Thanks for posting this build.

I took over a year off PoE and recently returned to my 72 ranger. I used to be LA-based but had to choose a spec, and decided to try this one. I should have found a physical-based bow first because now I'm finding my DPS insufficient to clear large groups of mobs.

Assuming I have very little to spend (no exalted yet), what type of bow should I be looking to acquire and how much will it run me?

My bow is literally useless so I think replacing it is my first step:

Thanks!

EDIT: To clarify, my single-target DPS with blast rain seems to be "decent", but my split-arrow takes way too many rounds to clear a group. Sheet DPS is around 1700 (ugh I know)

this build is AMAZING!

hi, im a lvl 21 ranger using split shot atm (cant get blast rain yet).

my split shot ROFLPWNS EVERYTHING that is within range (thats like 2-3 screens away).
i joke, its more like an automatic shotgun... blows up bunches of mobs with ease...

the ONLY problem is the single target... since im only lvl 21, i DONT have blast rain.

what skill do you suggest?

(my single target is so bad that i have to use fire traps to kill bosses, you can imagine how slow that is)

Hello. I would like to thank you for this great guide. I always played rangers and most of them bowers. However, it's been like two years since I played, so this helped me a lot to get back into it.
I would also like to ask you: why not help Kraityn on Cruel besides killing them all for the skill point? Thank you in advance.
