[2.5] Burning Arrow Proliferation Raider. Fully working league starter build. Up to twin Tier 15.

In Breaches it's best to hit and run, like you hit the packs a couple times then blink arrow away before you even see the flames or lightning ball coming. If you change your position constantly you won't die to their big hits. The thing is the damage come from burn so even if you didn't visually saw the trash killed, they will be killed by ignite and prolif. Don't worry about killing, blink arrow and run around while hitting and you will not die. Other than that, always pop your flask.

I have Jade, Witchfire, onslaught and atziri flask always on while in breaches. With such amount of evasion you probably won't get hit often enough from trash mobs and can leech back up fairly easily. I've done up to t15 deathless, going through all breaches and the like.

For breaches, you can even set it up for example, activating breach right after you've killed a pack nearby, and let the prolif help out clearing. Overall I find this build is excellent at breaches during mapping.

nice one. yes my flasks are average. The only leech im getting is from my bow. Are you using Emberwake ring? I wasnt getting much DPS with the ring so I use Mokou instead for much more damage. If i equip emberwake my ignite chance drops considerably.. goes down from 72% to 35% which isn't good enough.

I think my mac is too slow when breaches are active. Blinking is unreliable, sometimes i have to hit blink 3 times for me to land one, could be also due to no having no clear ground to blink to, not quite sure as breaches are so fast that you have little time to react. Prob will need to change my flasks.

I have some leech from duelist area, leech on doryani belt and leech from corrupted drillneck which is not hard to find. You dont need emberwake once you have that amount of leech I would say and mokou is the much more superior ring.
Take a look at the flask section for references on flask that Im using.

I think flask is very important especially if we are playing ranger becuase we get access to primal spririt and druic rite, very powerful flask nodes right around starting area. My flask will be up 100% of the time without being a pathfinder, except for bosses.

For damage increase, try to get fire dmg enchant on boots. Substential dps boost given how much ele and proj dmg scaling flat fire dmg can benefit. Mine is uber lab because I got lucky, but you can just have merc lab enchant pretty much losing few hundreds dps.
Burning Arrow dmg helm is awesome but hard to find so anything that benefits any of your skill is fine.

nice one.
yeah i have the 30% Burning arrow helm... it cost me 2ex. cheap for what it is. I could run some merc labs to enchant my boots. the odds are pretty slim i would think

I was thinking to swap the vaal burning arrow and barrage around.

currently barrage is in 3 link (as 4th link has fire golem in it. So my single target is a waste of time.

I have vaal burning arrow in 5Link chest with trap support in it. I hardly use vaal burning arrow anyways....

But the problem i face is setting up a decent 5 link barrage with this build. Barrage is a skill that would benefit from crit damage, but this is not a crit build, very low crit chance.... So already we are on the backfoot.

so i was thinking: Barrage-Slow projectiles-Added Fire-WED-Point Blank. It seems very weak 10.4k tooltip DPS. Then we have the problem of Point Blank at range.

Any ideas? I just cant make this build work. its not a boss killer at all. Prob will start another build soon as I felt ive reached the end at level 87.. Cant level up.. You die on occassion which enough to stop your level progression.

Sometimes i change GMP with Slow Projectiles for single target burning arrow but meh... too awkward changing gems around and leaves you vulnerable to attack when changing. Seems a clunky way to do it to me.

This is my 5th serious build ive failed at.. I think i should just give up. Tier 12 is about the max for this build. It just doesnt have enough HP to take a hit. And if you do Tier 12 map, you are going to die and lose progress, i wouldnt recommend it.

Anyone show me one build that can clear and reach bosses, just one build.... It would have to be tanky. So far all of the builds ive tried are squish

Never killed Atziri, breach lords, (never done all maps so Shaper is NA)

I have no problem switching gems, since most of the time the boss is in a separated room. You might need to consider Vaal Lightning Trap in your setup as well, its a big time damage booster

What I do for single target boss is I switch gem before going into boss room. have Vaal Lightning Trap, Vaal Haste, Vaal Grace ready. When I encounter boss I simply put on my Vaal buff, throw a Vaal Lightning Trap to proc shocking ground and then kill the boss. That happens smoothly for any boss that you can kill in a single phase. For multi phase bosses like Colosseum, Core or Atziri, dodging around is inevitable. This build will just die to one shot. I have done a couple Overgrown Ruins twin bosses just by running around and hitting them.

I have a Vaal Burning Arrow setup, with Culling Strike and Item Rarity. This is actually very good to cull bosses at low hp range.

Originally when I started playing, I never really wanted this build to do guardian or Shaper, because Ignite is an unreliable boss mechanic for a gimmicky bow character. Crit bow builds will kill bosses much easier, and with a much larger margin of error.

Sorry for newb question as I am completely new to the game, but:

why do you pick to help Oak at normal for 40 hp instead of extra point for killing them all which you could put into 5% max life just left of Bravery?

Hi, because I'm using Belly of the Beast that already has up to 40% increased life, picking up flat life will result me with more life than picking up a 5% node.

Generally speaking, a 40 flat life is always going to be more benefcial than 5% life.

My shitty gear at lvl 77. Really nice build, i've done tier 12 (1-2 deaths) so far with 3k life, only dying to lag spikes (800-1700 ms lol)and Tul breaches. Trying to 6l my bow so i can swap to kaom's heart and push for tier 16/shaper

gz for your build<3

Hey, first of all cool build rly enjoy it.
Question: Did you test Mantra of Flames Jeweles on this Build? With these many flask nodes and the flask setup you have many buffs up, is it worth it compared to regular Jeweles? Any opinion?
