Legacy 2.6 Ranger Raider ST HOWA build indepth
Hello POE! This is going to be my first guide/build so all feedback is greatly appreciated!
This build is suited to my playstyle so bear in mind many other forms of this build will work! If you haven't caught me live, I'm raistlin1986@twitch were posting a new youtube video daily and streaming daily for the next year straight so be sure to tune in for daily updates and content! my channel is all about interaction and helping the new players and old players of poe alike! Anyways This is a build based off of the unique claw: this claw is what makes this build possible and one of the most used builds currently in the game! Pros: amazing clear speed huge es pool 1-2 ex gear can kill shaper/uber atziri amazing leech/can facetank with high aps all map tiers feel the same. Cons: Upgrades can get extremely expensive cookie-cutter build of the month requires t1 int on every piece of gear to maximize the build Gear requirements: in order of importance. T1 Intelligence rolls on every piece of gear is a MUST Resists WED Lightning % dmg % ES + ES Video Guide: Bandits:

I used the unblessed version of HOWA which is hand of thought and motion as soon as I could equip them grabbed as many life nodes around ranger start and headed down to art of the gladiator. and then headed up to witch grabing the es/life hybrids and setting myself up for elemental overload and CI/Vaal pact and ghost reaver.
Level 90

Make sure by lvl 70 you have your fertile minds x2 in, one goes to the left of vaal pact, one goes in the slot above fervour. make sure you grab a brute force solution put it at duelist start near golems blood. by lvl 80 you should have unwavering stance/art of the gladiator all near duelist start, and CI/ghost reaver/vaal pact/Primeval force and be headed towards ele overload. after 80 start taking ES ES ES and more ES grab point blank whenever you feel necessary. https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAIBAAHRAecDHgQHBfkHHg2NDkgPqxEvEVARgRGWFHUV1xXwFr8XJhmKGdcaVRqPGyUbyB1PHwIfQSL0I9MqOCsKLL8tHy5TMFs1uTY9NsU26Dy-QdBDMUZpSVFLrkyzTP9OKlT-VYVWSFZjVvpaGluvXfJfal9wYSFjp2wLbRltbG8ndct4-XqEft1_K3_Gg22ExYTvhq6Nfo25j2CP-pAKkyeVLpXMlwaaapsmm7Wfy6OKpMKly6crpzCtM6_rtUi95r6nwzPDOsSizZjN6tCt0NDTb9gk2NXZW9rB3UbjhOd05-ro1upi6xTsGO0_7g7w1fba-TP5Y_sJ_MX9bg==?accountName=Raistlin991986&characterName=RaistlinHowa Current gear:

Gear explanation and thoughts.
Spoiler
This is my map helmet, St projectile speed is amazing for mapping.
This is my st dmg helm this is used specifically for guardians,shaper and uber atziri to give me the damage to drop them extremely fast. THESE ARE REQUIRED FOR THE BUILD. One of my HOWAS have culling strike which I find extremely useful for bosses. look for 11% increase to int or above. Huge ES and INT and resist increases here, pickup most of your es from your chest/helm! Nice Es + int and resist gloves pretty standand for the build. I do not use movespeed because I use whirling blades I find it a waste. instead I go for high es +int and resists. I wouldn't play howa without my headhunter, it just adds to the insanity of this build, maps are basically a breeze, things fall over and drop loot enough said. alternatively a crystal belt with WED resist and high int and +es will suffice. I pick up what resists I'm missing here, int and WED and lightning % +es and es% Flasks:
Spoiler
alternatively you can use a wise oak flask if you have trouble reaching resist cap IF lightning resist is your highest elemental resist the wise oak will provide additional lightning penetration. Gems:

" Any flask with immunity to freeze and chill solves your problem :D ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Last edited by Dalariana on Jun 11, 2017, 6:20:49 AM
