Hi guys.
So I have 12 chaos and 180 chromatics saved up to buy a bow upgrade. Any idea what sort of bow, like dps wise I could get for that much currency in standard? Also, my current weapon Thanks again. |

" I would recommend in the 300 DPS range. There are some even higher, but they get really expensive (there are rares that are much better than even uniques). I am also not a fan of elemental damage, I believe physical works better for most skills (someone correct me on this if I am wrong), since the tool tips often say % of physical damage. As stated previous by the author of this build, attack speed translates to DPS, so it's a good mod to have also. I would also recommend fast attach speeds (1.5 or higher), I tend to like Thickets. Also chance any Imperial bows you find and you may end up with a Lion's Eye Glare. It also pays to know the whites that create the most in demand uniques and chance them. Finding a good bow at a reasonable price takes a some time, the pricing is very subjective and many want to charge too much. There are some reasonable sales out there where people just want to move gear and generate currency. Scour the selling forums, poe.xyz, and trade chat, but have some patience. Many don't reply to PMs, and other just want way to much. I think when we move to standard league, prices should drop. Good luck. |

Hello everyone, I have seem to hit a wall with Merciless Piety, I just get owned every time. I am running Ziggyd's LA Ranger build. Currently, I have 3.5k HP max resists, 2.5k armor. My frenzy does 1.7k unbuffed and my LA is around 700. What am I doing wrong? Also, I have about 2ex to upgrade gear if needed.
Here is my build

Hey...
I've only played PoE for maybe 10 days, so I don't quite understand all the synergies for builds quite yet... but, wanting to try out my newly unlocked class, I was looking to attempt a variant of the Tanky Bow Ranger w/ LA - tweaked a bit for the Scion. Is this a bad idea? |

" I have about the same build and gear, with the exception of LGoH in place on my LA link. DPS is lower, but I survive which is the lesser of two evils for me, especially in merciless. I would strongly recommend the skelly totem
Spoiler
this is a must for some of the harder hitting bosses and unique mobs. It does fall a bit short on AoE mobs who just wipe the totem too fast. Makes quick and safe work on Kole(M), who hits like a truck

" Only thing I am sure of with PoE is that anything is possible. Some builds (and gear combinations) are really creative and out of the box. You typically just need a balance of life, resistances, armor, and damage. Some are more dependent on gear, which can get really hard to come across or expensive. Other can be unbalanced in certain areas of the game, but almost anything is possible. |

so im level 72 now... should i stay blood magic or is there something more viable for endgame

"Only thing I am sure of with PoE is that anything is possible." And (the) only thing I am sure of with PoE (so far) is that (just) anything is impossible.

" I am wondering this as well. He has a section up front on endgame and running auras, but he also states that it is not required. It seems a dual aura setup (grace/hatred) is the preferred route. I guess the question is, would the auras increase DPS enough to make up for losing a gem? I only have a 5L piece so I probably won't know until I try and see the numbers. It doesn't look like a huge change on the passive tree. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Update: I used 4 refund points and spec'd out of BM. I chose to drop some elemental damage nodes plus BM (4 total) and put those towards reduced mana nodes. I had several BM gems and bought a reduced mana gem (ironically, one dropped not 30 minutes later). I only have a 5L chest to work with LA and 4L for Frenzy. Previous gems were: LA - Chain - LMP - LGoH - Faster Attacks(extra DPS) or Culling Strike(farming\IIR) Frenzy - Life Leech - Added Fire Dmg - Faster Attacks New gems are: LA - BM - LMP - LGoH - Faster Attacks or Culling Strike Frenzy - BM - Life Leech - Faster Attacks Consensus: Can run 2 of Hatred/Haste/Grace. Using Hatred and Haste my DPS nearly doubled for both LA and Frenzy. Removing chain greatly increased the DPS of LA, but lowered the number of targets it hits. So far it seems to be worth it. Build seems to be less tanky, but added DPS is a good trade off if you are careful. Mana issues, can cast 1-2 things, then out of mana. Working on CoDT to cast curses, but it's not proc'ing for some reason. I don't really have enough mana to cast traps, but they weren't really doing that much anyway and the extra DPS seems to make up more than enough. I would love to get my hands on a 6L or two, but seeing the prices for equivalent 6L gear it's probably not going to happen. Last edited by _BADKARMA_#3617 on Jan 24, 2014, 9:20:06 AM
