Resurrection of the ZiggyD's RoA Ranger 1.2 Forsaken Masters
|
Gday!! Nah, just kidding, but seriously, Im a little suprised that nobody picked up that old dusty Build from Ziggy.
Clearing things up right away, this is just "my updated version" of the old skill tree for the RoA Ranger build created by ZiggyD. you can still and SHOULD follow his gear and level advises, since I tried to keep the changes to a minimum. if nobody has seen the build yet Im linking the old build guide from ZiggyD together with his YT video down here. ZiggyD's old RoA Ranger: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/756810/page/1 and his Youtube Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35QBIPpwLTM but now to the skill tree a quick breackdown of the tree
Spoiler
Base Stats - 294 Strength - 262 Dexterity - 124 Intelligence Defensive Side - 159% increased Max Life - 62% increased Evasion - 56% increased Armor & Evasion - 43% all Resistances + 8 Fire Resistance - no Movement Penalty from Armour - 4% increased Evasion per Frenzy Charge - 20% less Dmg from Crits Offensive Side - 58% increased Attack Speed (combined) - 181% increased Physical Dmg (combinded), not including Iron Grip Keystones - Iron Grip - Iron Reflex - Point Blank - Resolute Technique - Unwavering Stance Notes & Changes from the original Build - since the Ranger is specially in the beginning a Mana hungry B****, atleast thats my experience :P , I would suggest grabbing Primal Spirit until you get a Blood Magic gem - if you hit Resolute Technique, you can spec out of the Accuracy node near the start of Ranger position - I grabbed the 3 Resistance nodes from Scion since they were close by and I had points left, if you dont need the extra Resistance you can drop them - we dont get Heavy Draw, unless you dont take the 3 Resistance nodes and the 3 nodes in Master Fletcher, this would give you 37% more dmg and the stun bonus, but you loose 2% attack speed - since they changed Path of the Warrior near the Scion life wheel, its not realy worth picking it up, unless you just want the 12% Phys Dmg - we are getting 1 additional Frenzy Charge and the Evasion per Frenzy node behind it - if you dont mind to max out Faster Casting, Item Rarity and Concentraded Effect, you can drop 1 of the big Intelligence nodes, but you end up with around lvl 15 gems - note that you dont get any Life Regen or Leech from the tree until you hit the Marauder area If you have any Suggestions to make on the build then go ahead. Happy Gaming |

I love RoA and I tried out Ziggy's build back in the day but... it just wasn't very good! The damage was so low, even for hardcore. And now with revamps to the Ranger and Shadow trees, there's really no reason to head over to the Marauder area. Phase Acrobatics and Ondar's Guile easily trump Iron Reflexes, there are plenty of life and accuracy nodes near the Ranger start, and it's inefficient to take Iron Grip over bow/projectile nodes in the Ranger area.
Unless the upcoming 1.3 changes bring something unexpected for rangers or armour users on the left side of the tree, I think the build is dead. Dreamfeather Elemental Cleave Ranger: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1087616

+1 to this. I'm sorry to say but I have never been a fan of Ziggy's archer builds. Even back in domination it was already more efficient to stay in ranger/shadow area where there was all damage and life we needed (I don't remember how many was available in domination but we add up to 300% in 1.2).
