[3.13]🏹 Poison Barrage-VF / Scourge Arrow / TR PF | Bottled Fortify | The Tankiest Ranger + High DPS

I did test GMP + Arrow Nova actually and it was significantly worse than just going with like Vile Toxins or Mirage Archer for damage. The Awakened Nova already adds a bunch of projectiles to the Barrage, so going from like 11 arrows to 16 arrows isn't actually a huge boost comparatively, even less so with Dying Sun giving its own +3.

Anyway I can throw up a (level 100) PoB for my character with both Scourge Arrow and Barrage gem variants linked in it. It's not hugely different from the base Armour tree, but it does a few weirder things to accommodate my gear choices.

Like I said, it's a buzzsaw and the amount of damage it puts out for the cost of the gems (like maybe 2ex total week one lol) is totally nuts. I love it.

Edit: I might pull some of my older/worse gear out of my stash and see how it performs with non-Harvest crafted stuff (beyond the bow) to get a more predictable/useful indicator for next league. Harvest is getting its teeth kicked in, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to leverage what's left over to good use still.

Awesome. I've added it to the OP under "Community Knowledge Sharing" section.

Hello your build looks very interesting. Currently running with a CI TR Trickster. Feels safe most of the time but still dying at some harder content.

What would you say how far can i go with this build with 25 - 30 exalt investment in terms of being tanky + endgame progression?

You should be able to take it pretty far. The biggest question is going to be how far you want to chase damage vs opting for more durability. I decided to go balls-deep on survival so my gear ended up being way cheaper since Phys Taken As X mods aren't worth much to people and are (presently) easy to craft.

25-30ex is plenty to get you a solid chest, a good helm and a strong bow which is basically all the build needs to get rolling. Add in +1 arrow either on the bow or from a quiver and you're all set. Extras would be whatever fancy boots you desire, Curse on Hit ring, and maaaaaybe Bottled Faith? I have a BF but literally only use it on hard boss fights since I prefer the Dodge/Phasing of a Quartz flask otherwise.
Was thinking about playing this, but with Harvest nerfs now im not so sure. Need a lot of influenced items it seems.
ProbablyGettingNerfed - L100 Occultist
Vinktarded - L100 Pathfinder
GoogleDiversityHire - L100 Necromancer

3.13 was the pinnacle of PoE. IVYS+1 Gang 4 Life.
Hi all. Any idea what else i can improve here? https://pastebin.com/Ad8rXgAP
Very nice guide.

How will this perform with 3.14 Harvest nerfs?....Any alternate methods to craft all the stuff? (Bcs Beasts & Essences got buffed)
Flesh and Stone now has a 35% mana reservation (from 25%)

also

Hardened Scars no longer grants Fortify during the Effect of any Life Flask. Instead now grants Fortify while Recovering Life from a Life Flask

It hit us big time

is it possible to play without it?
Brutal Manifesto for this build :(
You can play without it, but the bigger loss is the Elder Poison mod. It's basically Darkscorn or Bust for DPS unless whatever replaces it is even half as strong. My own PoB tanks damage down by ~40% with just that alone which is buck wild.

On the other hand, Claws Poison basically gets unchanged by this aside from giving up ~18% DPS with the loss of the mod. I'll probably still leaguestart with this thing because I am a huge moron, but damn!!
