why don't you exalt your helm/belt? I see you put loads of currency in this gear and quality gems , might as well pop a few exalts to have an instant upgrade.

Yea I thought about it but can I actually get anything useful from exalting those 2 pieces? Both items only has 1ex slot left and both are prefixes. Is there a website somewhere that can tell me what can be rolled on what piece? I have the full list from wiki, but not all the pieces can be rolled with everything.

My friend directed me to POEXYZ to look at similar gear. You can also google path of exile suffixes and prefixes but some can be rolled from either side so it is kind of an educated guess. I would eternal anything you want to be careful on. I have some items I spend way too much on that could exalt something awesome.


Oh also wanted to share my mf set




forgot to add this little gem

I switch between alot of items depending on what I need. Also have a ton of rings I switch between. All about filling the need, whether it be damage, more iiq, more life, or more resists. Alot of times you can skimp resists if needed but this depends on map and monsters.

quick update for post patch. Dropped some HP (about 3%) and stun immunity and grabbed 4 of the new notables. since those new notables has stun immunity build in already. HP decreased a little but DPS and Regen increased. I should gain the HP back after I reach 90 by adding one 6% HP back.

the summary of current state
6.87khp, 124/292mf, all resist 77, 2.8k LA and 12k frenzy. 370HP per sec regen. -60% chaos

Has your gear changed much, I have been playing with the skill tree app to make a new build they're alot of great stuff in the ranger tree now, thanks GGG! I might be switching up my build I also need to figure out when WED comes into effect before or after weapon damage increasers and items. This makes a big difference in which nodes I take. Also whether it is better to go accuracy or resolute as I could crit =)

No change on the gears at all.

The trade off summmary

-3% HP
-100% stun immunity

+ 1%HP regen = extra 69HP per sec.
+ 30% stun immunity
+ 30% stun recovery
+ 30 extra DEX
+ 20% projectile speed
+ around 7.5% DPS increase
+ 5% evasion chance

I think its a decent trade off with good gains.Plus I would end up with more HP if I keep leveling because I dropped 4 6%HP.

I still don't think accuracy is worth it.
In order to remove resolute you probably need to waste a least 5 points on somewhere else just to get same amount of dps.

another quick update for post 90. Dropped IF and took 3 8% projectile damang instead.

Summary of current state
7khp, 124/292mf, all resist 77, 3k LA and 13.5k frenzy. 33% chance eva. 8% physical reduction. 378HP per sec regen. -60% chaos.......

Feel really good so far, feel no impact on survivability, but DPS significantly increased.

The trade off summary

-1% HP
-100% stun immunity

+ 1%HP regen = extra 70HP per sec.
+ 30% stun immunity
+ 30% stun recovery
+ 10 extra DEX
+ 20% projectile speed
+ around 15% DPS increase
+ 33% evasion chance
- 25% physical reduction

a quick update for my final change. I think its going to stay like this for a long time.

Well i see that we have almost same stats, but our builds are different and i dont get u why u didnt took iron grip and duelist tree nodes. (im just running 7 auras instead of bm - it would boost ur dmg/survi hardly). But i wouldnt ever drop thunderfists. Even for those 20iir/10iiq, if only i would, i would swap them for these unique gloves 50iir just to farm :p And i tell u, buy 6l lioneyes for offset instead of reapers pursuit :p its more mobile :D

I checked your gear and build. There is a fairly large difference actually, maybe on the defense and offensive level we look close on the surface. I can see that you are wearing pure DPS gear.

And honestly 4.2k split arrow and 1.2k frenzy is not really close to my dps.

split arrow only hit max 15 (5 arrow X 3 from chain) times x 4.2k = 63k damage, lightning (4 lightning aoe X 3 from LMP X 3 from chain) hit 36 times x 3.3k = 118K damage. assume all the arrows hit the target, I will be doing twice as much damage. You will have to do 8k dps on split arrow in order to match my LA's efficiency.

Also your gear doesn't have any MF. 140/258mf is about 8.5X more drops compare to 0/0 MF. Even if you wear that MF glove, that only gives you 0.5X more drops. That is actually a night and day difference. Basically even I sacrificed about 15ex slot for MF stat and still come up to be even with your build. But the problem is its hard to tell if its the build or its the gear. So compare build this way is actually extremely difficult.. since everyone's characters are completely unique and one of the kind.

Yea 6L lion eye is not a bad idea, but reaper's pursuit has 30-40% more MF, I don't really lose and mobility with leap slam, if not have increased mobility and flexibility, since you can basically teleport around with no cool down.

Well i just mean that if u took the way like i did, ur dps and survi would be boosted. that was just an advice, i like ur stats and i truly would like to have that mf on my rangeR:) But firstly i got to 6l my lioneyes :)
