Losing all experience when character dies

Please help!

I'm losing all the experience/points when the character dies. It's been quite a qhilw, I'm stuck on the same level. Please suggest. Thank you!

In Cruel difficulty you lose 5% of the experience required to reach the next level on death. In Merciless difficulty, 10%. I assume that is what you are experiencing (as it were).

If you're having issues surviving, we can help. If you want, head here and uncheck "hide characters", and we can take a look at your character and suggest ways to improve your survivability.
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!
Based on what information you've given us, all I can say is "stop dying".

Although I will go out on a limb here and guess you didn't pick enough life nodes from the tree. Pro tip, you play this game by picking nothing but life nodes for the first 60 levels.
From my post in this thread

Why do I keep dying?
Max your resists, get more life on gear, get more life nodes.

:)
Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea:

As others have said, we can't help without more information. All we can say is "stop dying" or "don't die so much".
I have unchecked the 'hide character' as suggested. Please let me know how to improve survivability. Also, for a Ranger, what are the recommended levels in strength/intelligence/dexterity and is there any recommended skill tree suggestion. One advice you already gave is to have more life nodes, so the more life I have the better I can survive, instead of more attack speed/strength? Thanks!

No life nodes means death on ur ranger.

U need more than this but having atleast blood drinker and life nodes next to it, heart of oak and life nodes next to it and the same with blood siphon and profane chemistry and thick skin. That would mb be doable in softcore. I recommend taking off some dmg nodes if u have respec points for those.

Not the best player, but I have reached 77 in hardcore so I think I have some experience, but dont think of this as the best way to get survivability ever.

Check neversink's tornado shot ranger guide

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1041989

It has a lot of information about skill, gear, passive tree, basically all you need to know about tornado shot ranger.

Cheers!
Thank you Tereng! The link you sent is really helpful.

well, it seems that these are your first characters in PoE, don't worry we all have done "broken" builds.

few things, if you wanna continue with that Ranger:

1. since you have plenty of physical damage from the tree, focus on that
2. your bow is, well trash.. it's missing the most important stat on a physical bow, added flat physical, like this:


3. try to find and level master named Tora into level 3, and you can then craft(low level) either %physical or flat physical into your bow(s), sadly not on the current one since it is corrupted :(
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Tora,_Master_of_the_Hunt
you can even go back to normal difficulty to find her, level 3 should only take 4-5 missions

4. since you are now focusing on physical damage, switch your rings/amulet into something that have resistances and/or life, you can even have mana/lifeleech.. physical damage on those are not that important until in the lategame (maps)

5. try to get yourself a 4-linked piece of gear and put your main attack in there with faster attacks+physical projectile attack damage and for the 4th link you can use multiple things:

-added fire (nice damage boost on enemies that dont have high fire res) if Split arrow
-pierce if Split arrow and you are going to use the unique quiver, Drillneck
-lesser multiple projectiles, if tornado shot

you can get these gems from vendors in town

6. you still have the life problem, i counted 20% incresed life from tree, that is only good for normal difficulty and maybe act 1&2 on Cruel, after that you are facing a wall, like you already know :D

first aid: you can get respect points by doing some sidequests and from some main quests.
get these and the drop the weapon elemental nodes and some damagenodes from the tree.

then go for the Scion life"wheel", Scion is the class that starts from the middle and has a huge ammount of life right next to her starting area.. on the way are some resists and sockets

For your auras, if you wan tdamage use Hatred and herald on ash.. if survivability, use Grace and HoA

All this should get you a bit further... good luck :D


I fixed your tree a bit, it should have the same amount of points that you have now.
