" It's an amusing leveling tool but not part of the final skill build. " With the 114 int tree you will need 41 int to reach 155 for wrath or 11 if you opt to take 2 passives for the 30 int node. 41 int can be fairly easily done in a single suffix or an attribute amulet + a mid rolled suffix.

Hey Arly, I thought I would shout out a big thanks for writing this Lighting Arrow build summary. I am level 87 and it works wonderfully with the exception of elemental reflect maps which certainly makes sense. Anyway, I can pretty much run any map up to level 12+ and the play style is very smooth and enjoyable. The feel of Lightning Arrow is much better than my split shot build I used previously - there is just a great feel with the chaining lightning damage.
For those who are trying this I would mention that the build really comes into it's own late - once you gear up. So hang in there. I'm even using the thunderfist "budget" build and it rocks. I'd say my finished build has cost less than 1 ex which is pretty spectacular and way cheaper than the comparable magic caster builds. Last edited by MrWonderful99#4612 on Jan 16, 2016, 8:36:09 PM

Can this be done with a Scion? How optimized would it be?

" Take a good at my gear progression guide. Your gear looks good to me and you itemized your cold damage and resists well but you should 4 socket and link your helm. Your passive tree: You took 5 nodes to reach the jewel near vaal pact but there is a 3 node jewel near acrobatics. " Basically path of life nodes route with +28% all resists, you will lose a lot of potential damage but have much higher life pool potential. Overall, sub optimal unless youre HC.

Hello there,
I wanted to reroll LA ranger after ripping with bladefall totems (yeah that happened...), but I have a few questions regarding the Skill Tree: 1) Why getting the vitality node without vaal pact, is it worth it? 2) I do not quite understand the arrow dancing node, is it important for reflect? §) Since I'm playing HC I want to get more defensive, but I've specced a bit differently into the life nodes and also take Essence Sap. https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwIAm40ILu2DGY4AXtN-73p9de4O_rpW-vzFfysNjTnUMHxbr4d2dvfI3I19UUdOKiF2458x-sFJI_Y-zzfUjb_nVBUgTP-Gzkp9oJ_-HU2SvebtPwW11CMk_SzpQzHBM8LsMHH_3oazAO7awcMztMXdqL6nKk107S5TWhoM8mKsS3hlTT8nR-IFLdNvpctsjDpCvTZKyCLieu-dqkd-bqqkOTY9tfLrYzWS_o_YvU3j_gqmV_JFOuEWvyaVYeJVS4w2idNwUhEvhNmNfre2dcvqYgMeH0ErCl3yKguv6wHR9qM= What's your opinion on this setup? Regards Virisken |

" 1) Can't really imagine playing VP on hc as a bow character due to how important life regen is but I am no expert in this domain. 2) Arrow dancing will help vs reflect before you obtain voltaxic and playing carefully means you should not be in melee range very often but its up to you to take it. 3) No reason to take essence sap when the single life and mana leech attack node near duelist is enough to sustain mana. You also do not take vitality void which in conjunction with the prior nodes is equal to a life leech gem. Also, you've ignored a lot of jewel nodes. For a 3 point investment it's really hard to beat since you can get 7% life in addition to a lot of offensive stats.

Alright then,
I guess I will grab the leech nodes, I was just curious about it because you do not run Vaal pact. Is the life leech noticeable or even mandatory? Is it also worth to go into Primal Spirit and ballistic mastery, those 4 points could maybe be spent on profane chemistry instead regarding my pathing route to life wheel. If the mana leech from 0.4% is enough without Primal Spirit, I feel like its a waste to spent 4 points there... Regards Virisken |
