Hey there Aixx, just a little update since last time I commented here. :D
Currently sitting at 52k dps with GMP and 90k dps with Slower Projectiles in HO.
I kill everything, Guardians are piece of cake, except Minotuar burrow move lol.
Killed my first Shaper, died 3 times since I didn't know the mechanics that clear.
And I followed your guide on how to farm shaped strand/dune, although sometimes it still drops tier 9-14, the chance of dropping shaped strand is significantly higher.
That's it, love your build, love your fast reply, keep up the awesome work. :D

Hello - can u guys take a look on my profile and my ranger named HowaNerfIncoming - i followed this build - im only lvl 80 but i feel like my ES is a little low - you guys got any recommendations on what to do :)?

What is low for you?

Also you need an atziri's promise and vinktars asap. Atziri's promise alone will be enough leech to keep you alive. I only use a vinktars as an "oh shit" flask against bosses or when there's too much shit incoming (breaches).

Well i have problems soloing Uberlab - i could solo uberlab when i was "BF" with a 5l and around 9.2k ES - now i feel he rushes me down before i can get any dmg done. i have 7.7K ES

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this guide :-)

Not only is it a great guide, I think it is super cool how quick, gracious and patient you are in providing answers to all our questions - including mundane stuff like mine :-)

I took your advice and cleaned out my modest currency stash buying some ES gear, jumping from 500 to 5000 .. out of curiosity - what ES number do you look for before thinking about making the CI switch? Just so I have a goal in mind :-)

Also, with a 6L for spectral, out of GMP, Faster attack and slower projectiles - which two do you recommend in my final two slots? I have been running with GMP cuz of its awesome crowd clearing, but I noticed you dont have it on your fitout. Is there another way of taking down multiple mobs in one shot? No doubt there's something obvious I am missing here :-)

Thanks again, I so very much appreciate it :-)

You want to use GMP to clear the trash and SMP for bosses if your GMP damage isn't enough. Just keep the SMP gem in your inv or in another socket and swap it if needed.

In the 6L setup you wanna use ST - GMP/SMP - Weapon elemental damage - Lightning penetration - elemental weakness and faster attacks or added lightning damage. I guess faster attacks and added lightning doesn't do much difference DPS wise (haven't tested it myself) but i like the faster attackspeed.

Hey Austy, I dont have a map guide, but thats a good idea I can do that.
For now:
just complete every t1-t9 map
t10: only complete dunes
t11: only complete strand
t12: no map
t13: only complete shore
t14-17: complete every map

This way you can farm dunes/strand all day long, the only t10 map you can drop is dunes, the only t11 map is strand. The strand boss also can drop a shaped shore map which is pretty good.
