[2.4 Video Guide] Doomfletch Lightning Arrow, Blast Rain Raider [HC/SC]

Is kintsugi really superior to queen of the forest? The latter has a lot more evasion, and elemental resistances, which are scarce with this build.

If u want to survive late game kintsugi is must have, res arent that important ( you can cap them with other pieces of gear). Evasion is ok but u can get lots ofmit with jade flask, and 20% damage mitigation is huge deal, because ranger biggest flaw is being prone to 1 hit ko, thats why kintsugi and basalt are your friends. Personally i use both chests kintsugi vs shaper, guardian t15 hard modded lower tiers, and qotf for rest.
And btw for ele builds volt>>windripper/godlike rare>>>>>>doomfletch

Thank you! I realized that right after posting. Kintsugi works the same way as Immortal Call. It's a one shot saver, and it's evasion feature somewhat scales for it's lack of flat evasion value. I've been thinking about what you said on the elemental build with voltaxic. Seems like the obvious next step for a ranger build like this!

immortall call is a bit diffrent it helps vs chained fast phys hits (porcupine//titty bitches) but wont save u vs super high damage one shot + its only vs phys, and there are many good elemental things which can oneshot too :p thats why kintsugi is just like fortify with the downside of being able to absorb just 1 hit. (but nothing wont save you vs chained high damage hits :P)
voltaxic is op because of poison + double dipping - especially with pathfinder poison u basically get 7link. and also wither + spell totem helps to get absurd dps vs bossess.
also another nice feature of voltaxis is reflect immunity + it provides very good leech while using atziri promise.

windripper on the other hand is smoother for mapping + more crit//more ias//more mf, but worse vs bossess (no poison, higher ele res of bossess, no wither totem)

To all the people saying doomfletch isnt doing much damage and that you changed to a voltaxic or whatever, you are not stacking enough phys, i have killed shaper and uber atziri with doom fletch with no issues.
Get more flat phys.

Is this still viable?

I'm playing this build, lvl53 atm. It's really strong.

I don't get it, I need some help with this build.

I'm lvl 87 and my stats card says I only do 3233 DPS, which is not viable.
Mind you, I've taken no Ascendancy classes yet, no auras or golem activated.

Below are my build and equipment.
I respeced an old char to this and feel very stupid atm.

Please explain what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

The tooltip DPS does not add the elemental bonus damage from Doomfletch so you cannot trust it.
Use something like Path of Building (https://github.com/Openarl/PathOfBuilding/releases) if you want to know your actual DPS.
That said, I followed this build as well and Rangers unfortunately don't gain too much from Doomfletch. Inquistor is a much better choice if you want to use that bow.
