" MartinCreek wrote: Updated the skill gems somewhat, hopefully it's enough to understand :) Thx for update, Martin. Can you, please, tell about pros and cons of physical and elemental rangers? There is similar to yours Petrov's Elemental Bow Ranger "tanker + shock stacking + inner force" Build. I'm playing on SC, cuz don't have much experience as you. Thx. P.S. and Happy Birthday, sorry for lateness :)	Posted by AshYaro#0830 on Feb 23, 2013, 5:04:33 AM Quote this Post

What am i doing wrong? Any sugestions? Here's the stuff i'm wearing - Spoiler What should i change at first? Also, my passive tree atm Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIBBS0ILg48Dq0UIBRxGNsZLhmOIWAn1SftKLUppTIJNZI26DpSQKBBqkOcRmlKfU3jTshQR1YEVvpYr1uvYEtgiGFSZ6ByqXTtdPF4DXrvhmCHdpAKm42euacwqW6sWayqud3EWNN-1I_dDd-_7YPuDu8O707yL_cy-Ov8xf6P That bow looks abit weak, and try to get elemental damage on several items without losing too much res and no health. Chain LA should be around 800, then it's fine. http://twitch.tv/MartinCreek	Posted by MartinCreek#5256 on Feb 23, 2013, 8:26:21 AM Quote this Post
I guess great minds and all that?:) My only comment would be around the 50% armour nodes - never been convinced these add a whole lot above IR given how armour actually works. If you're building above 100 points, I'd probably build to Perfect Aim. Petrov.

If you get rid of the three armor nodes at the bottom, and take the three near the marauder starting point, you will get +2% movespeed and +3% armor for free :)	Posted by xSJx#0516 on Feb 23, 2013, 8:19:44 PM Quote this Post

I guess :) I was thinking about this as well, theres not really much more I can do for my survivability without wasting a whole bunch of points on the way. Perfect Aim might be my new goal. http://twitch.tv/MartinCreek Last edited by MartinCreek#5256 on Feb 24, 2013, 4:08:11 AM	Posted by MartinCreek#5256 on Feb 24, 2013, 4:07:54 AM Quote this Post
What about instead of Steel Skin or Armor Mastery, you go for Body and Soul? Little bit less armor, a 44% Armor and 44% Energy Shield and 10% Elemental Resistances instead. That seems like a much better trade off than losing 30% crit damage reduction, gaining 2% speed and 30% flask restore.	Posted by Striker#3978 on Feb 24, 2013, 8:14:55 PM Quote this Post

Very good build, I'll have to make a cross-breed between yours and nugi's to fit my resists and gear. Thanks for posting.	Posted by Zoxjib#5083 on Feb 25, 2013, 8:44:50 AM Quote this Post
