So with the reach of the coucil nerf in 2.6, should i pick it anyway? Or should i take another bow?

2.6.0 version is still good, latest version of it is bad.

So yeah, fellow rangers, what should I do about chestpiece and shocking? I'm leaning towards Kintsugi if Lightning Coil is worthless at shocking, and Lightning Coil if that works for shocking. I don't think Perfect Form is good enough defensively to be worth taking when I really need all the defense I can get.

For shocking i would offer inserting PtL.
Another option is Vinktar.

Chest issue.
Among chest i would give my vote for Queen of the forest-nice evasion, good HP roll, lots of resistances.
Another options that actually surprised me was Daressos Defiance. Additional dodge, medium evasion, decent HP roll and a great savior with CWDT+IC combined. If playing raider you'll get 12% chance to dodge.

And Belly ofc. Lots of HP, nice resistances, but tiny evasion

2Meeki.The answer for your complaints is one-guide isn't updated and still contains things from different patches. Only those who started playing this build since it was actually written can follow changes and be successful.

I took the Acuity node and Aspect of the Eagle, instead of the whole "Golem's Blood" line because we need that accuracy, we should at least have 90% (with a Harbinger) - every missing % here is a huge dps lost.

Accuracy isn't that critical for TS especially with GMP

I mean Meeki isn't wrong. I've had these criticisms ever since my return during Perandus. And Zero, accuracy is actually fairly important, I don't really know why that was cherry picked out of all that he said.

I don't say he is wrong,i say that it's pretty meaningless to criticize smth that is obviously outdated. Ofc it's NS fault that he is lazy enough to update it, but too many things in the guide scream about it's irrelevance.
About accuracy, i think attack speed effectively compensates lack of accuracy, at least to some point.

The Lioneye Fall thing confuses me a lot

Today Fall is pretty cheap.In the beginning of the league there are other worth-taking nodes. That's what i actually did.
And yeah, old tree is still viable, especially defensive one.

"

In a guide where the only gem link available is PTL-WED shoved down your throat he makes exactly one reference to Vinktar.

Never tried Vinktar and adding it in Planner didn't give me any dps boost. Seems like Planner or me misses smth about conversion.

About endgame I rarely see people in this thread do anything like Temple/Uber/Shaper

I don't do any of these-mostly because i am lazy, stingy and my in-game activity depends on game's ability to support my interest. I did Hydra, wasted few Minoutaur maps and haven't seen other guardians at all. In Legacy btw i am playing TS/barrage and see what will be the results.

Ice Shot converts 60% to cold, Blast Rain 50% to fire, and Signal Fire 50%. So PtL is not really going to work here.

I considered Vinktar and it's a great flask but man I'd really prefer not to be so close to things. If you have to do it you have to do it, but ugh. So am I correct in assuming that the lightning damage from Coil is insufficient?

QotF has no secondary defensive layer though, so I'm not considering it.

Vinktar less about DPS boost (Physical conversion one I use gives no DPS boost basically) but 20% leech for both life and mana on Lightning Damages.

Err, the shock is a massive DPS boost provided you don't get it some other way.

"

Ice Shot converts 60% to cold, Blast Rain 50% to fire, and Signal Fire 50%. So PtL is not really going to work here.

That's why nobody plays IS and BR in endgame. IS lacks initial pierce, off-screen clearing and solo target multi-projectile hit. Blast rain has an unplesant delay and although Blast Rain does not fire projectiles (and therefore cannot benefit from projectile effects such as chaining and additional projectiles)

Shoud i still use frenzy charge? Zerotul u dont have it on ur legacy char.

What Pathfinder nodes would you recommend with this build?

I don't go for frenzy for defensive purposes and other ways to generate frenzy charges.

So better dont use it at all and not invest point on tree? Frezy and blood rage is waste of slots?

It's all up to you to decide which way to gain frenzy charges. I would recommend going freenzy way in Taider tree only in case if you want to maximize qunatity of frenzy charges using corruption, boots etc.

No on rider tree but regular one. Sorry mate for my english. On ur old character u used frenzy charge and frezy attack or blood rage. Neversink bless bless it in guide. So im curious should i use or just leave this mechanic.thx
