Farming before finishing Act 5
My level 50 Ranger has reached the end of Act 5, but Kitava is too tough :)
I should replay previous areas to farm for better gear? I'm level 50 and monsters in the surrounding areas are no higher than level 44, so eventually I'll be farming areas with monsters that are too low for me to get 100% experience? Does this create a negative feedback, where, as I get a little more experience, I continue to increase the gap between my character and the monsters?

You could try trading for better gear?

Yes, farming low areas does create a negative feedback loop, where you get even less experience overtime. Most people don't farm low level areas (Act 1-10, because it's not worth it.
You are better off buying some gear off the vendor or poe.trade for elemental resistance and/or dying a lot to Kitava until you can kill him. Your skill tree could use some work too, you have a lot of attack nodes, but not enough health or defense to take hits. 1,000 life is low for Act 5. You need something like 1,600 hp. (⌐■_■)

" Re skill tree: I've taken nodes for bow damage increase and for life increase. What else should I consider? Resistances? Thanks, EldorLoreseeker -- coming from D3, I didn't think of that :) |

Well, this is how, I'd have built your skill tree
It gives you 1558 life, 3000 evasion, more resistance. Getting max resistance, 75% on your character, would be the first thing I'd try to do when looking for new gear upgrades. (⌐■_■)

" Ooh, you've gone into Strength on the left for Life. I concentrated on Dexterity on the right, like all the Bow nodes. Last edited by SabreWolfy#5106 on Dec 3, 2017, 6:39:32 AM

Yup. You can still go to the bow stuff later, but you probably want the life early on, so you don't have to worry about dying too much.

" I have a few passive skill points to allocate and a few respec points, so I should allocate these to increase life / resistances as best as possible now. |

So all classes should have Constitution? It takes nearly 25 points to get all those for a Ranger. This is about half of the points I have so far, just to get over to Constitution :)
