☆ [Outdated] Sarang's TS/LA/Barrage Archer | Pathfinder | Crit Bow | Videos | Budget Version ☆

I'm currently doing tier 11s-12s. I did some tier 14-15 too.

This is my gear.

Nevermind.

Pretty good gear for this point in the league, especially that bow. I assume you're going the Poison route with Pathfinder? How has the new Stibnite been treating you?

Was playing deadeye but i changed to pathfinder. Single target dps is much higher now. That flask increases my DPS.

so you added yourself on timtips builds as puncture build just to get few more views of this averange tornado ? silly.

I didn't even know what timtips was until just now, but thanks for the heads up!

Not really playing the build right now anyways, pushing Guardian in ESC. No idea why this is classified as Puncture but I have no idea how to submit this, so someone else did it.

On the other hand, you just seem salty for no reason, but I appreciate you coming out of your one-month posting hiatus to make some wild assumption. You must be fun at parties. You know what's actually silly? Not even being able to spell out your insults correctly.

Revamped and actually updated for 2.4.

Don't really have time to grind this out in Essence, so with a little motivation, I geared up in Standard to test a little. Atlas in Standard is only 109 as opposed to 126 in ESC, so there is a lot of work to there even.

Atm just missing the Chimera Map, but should have all 4 Fragments soon. Need to build up a good Fragment Pool before I attempt Shaper anyways, and study some fights. This is different from what I was doing before, but it does seem to work for the new content.

Plan is currently to see if I can do it with the listed gear (mechanical test...) and then go to non-Legacy Kaom, then go to Legacy Reach, then try to borrow a ~350 pDPS Bow from someone to test with. Long ways ahead.

Testing a lot of stuff atm as well (std) and preparing to buy a leg. kaoms as well. Setup already changed to get 191 str and still caping resistance, but lacking currency atm. to buy the chest. Walked into scion area for the wheel (and a lot of str-nodes) and it works just fine with around 6.5k life, but of course you need some really decent gear to maintain enough dps. Dunno if i'll stay with the current tree when i finally bought the chest.

Playing split arrow plus raider atm, - it's really decent and way undervalued for grinding maps. For endgame: Chimera can be tough, other guardians are np at all (with ts-raider-setup). Only tried shaper twice, and one time a portal was bugged so i had only 1 left for trying him. Still got him to the last phase. Second try i had all 6 portals, but lacking experience with the fight to get it done. But it's easily doable.

oh, cool update.

Was kindof hoping passive tree would have some super secret thing I missed. but, just seems like standard build I do on 99% of my rangers already. haha. (except for hired killer)


Couple thoughts/questions.

How is your accuracy?
Whats the hp without kaoms? belly?
As fun as Wyrmsign is on my frostblades, op makes me realize she really needs Atziri's acuity.
Life, crit, armor, and int? yes please. that int would free up so much...


Quick look at :"2.3 level 100 reach/volx build."
would these small changes, have more life, crit, damage, attack speed, and accuracy.

No other guide has really discussed Essences, or new crafting bases. "bruiser build", I think this is appropriate.
Greed is the +max life Essence.
teir 7
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Deafening_Essence_of_Greed
100% guaranteed life rolls, HIGHER then normal max life rolls.
(t6 is equal to t1 life.)

Greed: Body Armour: (120-126) to maximum Life
T1 life roll on body armor is Lvl 81: 110 to 119 (Rapturous)

Greed: Helmet: (100-106) to maximum Life
t1 life :iLvl 64: 90 to 99 (Fecund)

Greed: Other Armour: (90-96) to maximum Life (gloves/boots)
t1 life: iLvl 54: 80 to 89 (Athlete's)


Vangaurd belt.
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vanguard_Belt
+(260-320) to Armour and Evasion Rating
I don't really know if this is better then a +40 life leather belt.

Same question for two toned boots.
20% resists to 2 elements. at the cost of boot enchant.

I think from my impression, Phoenix seems to be the toughest so far, but could just be the map mods I'm doing them in (for example in the sample video Extra Fire and Minus Max are not a friendly combo). So far I think Phoenix > Chimera > Hydra > Minotaur at least for me.

You have awesome gear, I remember looking at your profile a long time ago, with Kaom setup you can easily crack 9K+ Life (maybe 10K? Would have to do some math) and that would be awesome. Sadly I was still in a fairly poor state when they removed Eternals, so unfortunately I probably won't be able to ever truly complete some of my gear. I do have plans to eventually meta-craft t1 Crit Chance on the bow, though, but that would be ~80 Exalt sink? Which I don't have at the moment until I sell a lot of the stuff I hoarded from Prophecy League.

I have 1 full set right now and some extra Minotaur/Phoenix Fragments, but I plan on trying (and recording my failure?) when I get to ~3 full sets. If I can only get the damn Chimera/Hydra maps to drop, though. Burning through T15's like crazy.

Yeah, actually funny as it is, no super secret tech at the moment (although if I showed you my POE Skill Tree Program you'd wonder about what I do in my spare time), just pathing ideologies really that I want to use. Really it's about having the right amount of Crit support in the Tree while opening up to access the good Nodes and still leave open spaces for Jewel Sockets. That 2.3 Tree I had to run out to True Strike to push to Crit Cap with a Voltaxic, which was very much needed due to the base. The Tree I'm playing around with now has ~320% Crit as opposed to that one, which was over 400% Crit, at the cost of running out to Scion Life Wheel. I think that is okay. Your adjustments make it a very similar power level, atm just a little amount of Crit and Crit Multi less, for a small boost in life (roughly the value of ~1 Jewel Socket worth of Life, which is very valuable), but stronger for Physical Bow overall imo.

I have 91% Accuracy atm, and with Power Charges up I'm at Crit Cap, combined with Assassin's Mark the Crit Rate is pushed an additional 9%, so if the mechanics thread was correct, it would be in the neighborhood of ~95% effective Crit Chance factoring in Accuracy. Was able to get the 5th Jewel with 7% Maximum Life, so without Kaom's I have 5.7K Life, with non-Legacy Kaom's I have 7.3K Life, and with Legacy 8.8K Life. If some gear pieces were better, could crack the 9K threshold, but is expensive for me to even try. I will test with a 40% Belly of the Beast and see what I get.

Wyrmsign I used in temp league actually, because I was planning to put a Blast Rain in there (huehue). Acuity definitely BIS, but some sacrifices and Vaal Pact, which is not a good place to be for the new content in my opinion for Life Based, allow you to wear other options in that slot.

I don't think I will discuss Essences much here, as the post is already pretty long imo. Maybe some short notes about it. When I did something similar in 2.0, it was mostly ignored due to lack of interest. That said... I've only been mapping really in ESC so while I have a pile of Essences, been gambling those away on Vaal Regalias and Opal Rings. Really need to look at the Corrupt-Only ones to figure out if I want to do anything there. I do think Vanguard Belt is pretty nice, flat Armor and Evasion is actually pretty good, but need to have a comfortable Life Pool already before using it. The Flat bonuses are pretty good though on the implicit.

And for Two-Toned Boots, I don't think I would ever trade extra resistances for a Merciless/Uber Lab enchant. Some of the ones are very useful, and not worth the trade-off, in my opinion. For example the boots I'm using now have 80% Stun Immunity if I've killed recently, which combined with Heart of Oak is just plain Stun Immunity while mapping. I don't think I would ever trade those out for Two-Toned, unless I got my hands on a really strong piece of DPS Jewelry that required it. The upside though is that for Shaper/Guardian/Boss instance fights, most of the Enchantments outside of the "If you haven't killed recently" variety are not active anyways, so there is a corner case for them.
