[Nemesis] (HC) BOjangles life/VP/RT/IR/IG magic find ranger

Hello all, ill eventually add some more to my leveling technique and what not.

I died at level 78 on my ranger; However, I am remaking the build as a Duelist. I will fully update my final plan for the ranger and duelist trees shortly. My older brother is leveling the ranger build and is currently 45.


Contact Info: hit me up on BiJangless, current ranger...or add me Exc


Quest and Progression

This is a rough leveling and quest reward guide, based on my play style and what I do in path of exile personally.
Spoiler

Act 1 (normal)
This will be a rough guide of leveling spots and what to get for quests to help you maximize your leveling.
Start off with split arrow from the Hillock quest(enemy at the gate).
Then get fire trap or poison arrow if you decide to acquire a quick quicksilver from (mercy mission). Rain of arrows or bear trap will be the next gem from doing the mud flats progression quest(breaking some eggs).
Your next goal is to get to The ledge from going through the submerged passage and grinding to about 8-12, player preference.
After that you will move on to killing Brutus(hatred gem), he shoots a hook that pulls you to him and a very slow overhead bash that does ALOT of dmg. Mervaile(added cold or faster projectiles), she has two phases which are both fairly easly aslong as you have 60+ cold res.


ACT 2(normal)
After killing merv, make sure to farm the forest from lvl 10-16 before moving on to farm the fellshrine ruins.
You Will progress through to fellshrine and farm there from 15-22ish. You can go to western whenever you feel safe enough and do your progression quests as you see fit. Once you are safe in your estimation, progress to kill kraityn and alira..helping oak makes leveling and getting to act 3 quicker as well as buffing your HP by 40.

You need lightning resist for the chamber of sins quest final boss. His lightning strike hurts alot.

Make sure to do the intruders in black quest to obtain frenzy, then move onto doing the white beast for your belt or vice versa. For sharp and cruel you have a number of support gems to choose from;however, I grabbed the pierce gem here.
Join a public party for Vaal or get a rush from myself or someone else who may do it for free. He is the only real difficult part about act 2.

ACT 3 (normal)

Act 3 I usually try to farm to close to 30 if I am solo then move on to farming docks until the mid to high 30's. This all depends on your damage output at the time.
Quest rewards you will want projectile weakness or freeze mine from Lost in Love. Get your flask and ring from the spool and swig of hope quest.
You can get another support gem from doing a fixture of fate, I recommend elemental hit or curse on hit, perhaps even cast when stunned.
From severing the right hand, which i believe is the general grab the faster projectiles/cold dmg/cold penetration/lmp depending.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
going to try a differnet format herafter, since you shouldnt suck at poe at this point.


ACT 1 (cruel)
Leveling
33-44 Cruel ledge is a fabulous place to farm full of many magical goodies. After ledge move onto the same cycle as normal.
Get brutus and mervaille killed and begin farming the forest in act 2.

Quest
Enemy at the Gate -- grace/conversion trap/explosive arrow
Mercy Mission -- pierce/lmp/blind/increased duration....(traps?)
The Caged Brute -- Haste/clarity/grace/vulnerabilty/vitality/enduring cry

ACT 2 (cruel)
Leveling
Farm the forest from 35-45 and then move onto solo or public party fellshrine to farm to as close to 50 as you want to go until moving on to act 3.

Quest
Sharp and Cruel -- They are all amazing, tough choice. I got culling here I believe.
Help Oak

ACT 3 (cruel)
Leveling
Farm the city and then docks from levels 45-55. Then progress to merciless leddge with the same cycle as norm/cruel

Quest
Lost in Love -- haste/vit/clarity/enduring cry (many builds use it)
Sever the Right Hand -- culling/faster attacks/mana leech






BANDITS


Spoiler
Befriend Oak, he will be your buddy; However, don't be too kind to him because you will be killing him in merciless and siding with KRAITYN!!!!!( OAK -- OAK -- KRAITYN )


Skill Points

Level 1-40, you should have close to 50 skill points to spend here.



level 72 **Resolute technique** at this point you should have the resolute technique passive.
You will refund a few points eventually to move elsewhere.





End game Trees, you can now pick the more life or more damage build. Both are viable in nemesis and I will be running versions of them just depending on how much I am getting from gear. Please comment if you have any suggestions or ideas for the build.
End game



><><>Dropping VP and a couple life nodes to pick up 100%+ more physical dmg with bows and some more attack speed. It will only be added if reflect packs become an issue.

sounds like a good build, Ill check out the stream
IGN: WreckOns (Onslaught)
Why are you using Pierce as well as Chain?
I don't have an exact reason as of yet, this is my first archer since before onslaught. Anyways, they were the gems I had at the time and it works well with the bounce on the chain and just how split works. Call me crazy, but I like how it spread cold from my hatred etc. even to mobs I cant see yet.

watch my stream to get a better idea, but im sure ill be trying other support gems as I get them.



Edit: further testing pierce stops them from chaining...but not sure what happens if they pierce on the second chain. Who knows for sure lol

Just curious, but why not go for the Acrobatics cluster + Ondar's Guile? You don't seem to be stacking on any significant amount of armor or ES, and you're not going for Iron Reflexes, so it seems like these would be a pretty big buff to your defenses. Large %life is even better if you have some Evasion/Dodge to stack on top of it. It also pairs well with Vaal Pact.

Also you're only 2 points away from Iron Grip, and this build gets a decent amount of strength working back toward the Marauder tree, that it would probably be worth the extra points to grab it.
You are 100% correct, I cant believe I forgot about irongrip...I heard you can get it in a support gem now and I want to try it out in a link before I get the passive, but this build ends up getting 200-250 strength. That's the thing though, should I go acrobatics and evasion or get the iron reflexes . This is my first evasion/life character atm, so I am still testing the defenses of the build myself. I hit 53 really easy last night farming the forest just after merv in merciless. Doing 700 dps frenzy, and close to 400 dps split arrows. I am leaning towards getting the armor though since it would end up saving points in the long run.

Does evasion rating work after you get iron reflexes? 100% evasion rating is then 100% armor technically? or no?

im interested in seeing what people think about taking this build towards docde/acrobatics or grabbing iron reflexes and stacking armor.
IGN: WreckOns (Onslaught)
how can u crit when you have resolute technique?
I'm not interested in critting...with resolute technique, I wont miss anything; therefore, i cant crit. My life steal will always land as well as my other shots...im using split arrow so when you shoot 5-10 arrows and none of them miss its pretty OP =) Did i mention crits somewhere,....I was thinking of crits before, so i might have.

I have been using SPLIT ARROW + CULLING STRIKE + FASTER PROJECTILE + RARITY to farm in act 2 merciless fell shrine for the past couple levels.


I'll be streaming in about 10 minutes...taking a little break to forum and eat.

Hey I'm trying out your build now in Nemesis. When do you plan to use added cold damage and Hatered? I'm wondering especially about Hatered, since I tried to use it now (I'm only lvl 19)and it reserves too much mana at this stage, so I go oom pretty fast. Btw keep it up!
