don't forget that combined with multistrike Cyclone on a 2-h weapon
Tehres always Kaoms and Taryns krip build, get your stash ready :P Man, just play what do you think will enjoy, if you play the game just for clicking, whats the point? Experiment :) Its so fun!
This page has some builds that you can view
http://www.exilepro.com/

My issue with the builds is that they are built around end-game. so if you follow the guide you will be weak at mid level. Also they are out of date. They are based upon pre-0.11.

Like another poster suggested you should level up more than one build. Pick 3-4 builds that you would like to try and get them all to act 2. Once you do that you will have a good understanding of the game and a small collection of gear.

Since the .11 patch, you admitted your two toons do not handle the same. You need to start asking yourself, not us why they don't work. We can tell you why they don't work, but you will never understand why.

Maybe this game isn't right for you. I think warcraft is more your speed. Probably a mage. You're spoon fed gear tailored to your class and spec while questing and up to full endgame.


No, I didn't say that.

What I SAID was that I CAN'T tell a difference in the duelist build postpatch, since it's only level 30, but EVERYONE ELSE on the thread says it's no longer viable for endgame, since the elemental damage is not longer there, and spark has been nerfed. I LIKE playing this character, and the spork witch, and would love to continue playing them, especially the LA duelist, but I see ABSOLUTELY NO POINT in leveling up a class which everyone says is a dead end. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN to endgage yet, so need to ask for HELP from people who have, and if the LA duelist and spork witch aren't usable in endgame anymore with those builds, then i'd just be stupid to keep playing them when I know I'll have to reroll 20 hours from now.

I don't need to be spoonfed gear. What I want is a build I can follow to endgame. Any build, any damn class. What I DON'T WANT TO DO is spend 12+ hours on a character in a brand new game, get to level 60, and find out - HEY, THIS CHARACTER IS COMPLETELY USELESS, time to reroll and START ALL OVER, since theres no way to completely respec into something better. After I get a solid character I can play, I can experiment on toons 2+. Leveling 20 characters to level 50 just to 'see what works' then abandoning all but one is not just pointless, but is stupid if I don't even have a single useful one at the end of it all.

The first thread was filled with helpful suggestions, immediately impressing me with teh quailty of the game, the players, and the forums. This thread, sadly, is completely different, and apparently is filled with assholes who insist that 'real gamers waste time by making 99 pointless characters, figure it out yourself'. I don't know what changed on the forums between last patch and this one, but this is just sad.

All I've asked for is a single postpatch build that can be used in endgame without excessive dying and doesn't require specific orange items, that will likely never drop for a solo player. I've found a lot of QQ on what no longer works (both of the build i've researched and have been following apparently), but very little on what now DOES. If this does not exist, and endgame is now unplayable, with he patch truly, inexplicably, somehow destroying the entire game, tell me and I will move on to another game. If it does, please post a link to where a suitable build can be found. If you are going to belittle me, call me an idiot, and tell me to go away, please don't bother posting here.

I realize a large part of this is people are still figuring out how the new patch has changed things, and I'm not going to find too many tailor-made posts on 'how to play x' post-patch. That's fine, but I'd at least like something to start with - maybe a viable class/spec that hasn't changed much, at least while leveling, post-patch; that I can level the same way for the first 40-60 levels, then update as necessary for the new patch as I get more familiar with the game.

I realize this post is very harsh, and want to thank the rest of you for trying to help a new player, but pointlessly insulting posts like these get me rather upset, especially when directed at me. I apologize if I have upset anyone who is actually trying to help, and thank you for your time.

TLDR: need basic build, putting points in random skills without understanding them is just stupid, don't want to spend 100 hours on a reroll for my first character, stop being pointlessly insulting. Surely there's at least one class/spec that still works post-patch.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for...

Physical Ranger

Single - Poison Arrow - LifeonHit - AddFire - WED
AOE - Lightning Arrow - LMP - LifeonHit - WED and/or AddFire - FasterAtt

RoA Totem - Roa - RemoteTotem - FasterAtt - WED and/or AddFire

Reduced Mana - DetonDead - TempChain - ProjWeak

Reduced Mana - Grace - Wrath - Anger

I usually go south and over to Leather and Steel, then around 35-40 go to Blood Magic once I have LifeonHits/Leech. Life as needed and Iron reflexes by end Act 2 Cruel. Up and right to get more Int, life (as needed) and physical nodes.

Currently HC 74. Play time a week or so. 5th generation HC Ranger. Others died 82, 70, 68 and 66 - 3 to Vaal (2 x rock drops, 1 to DC phys slam) and 1 to Map Boss/mob. Maps to 68 no problems as of yet. Not really at endgame yet, but still working on gear as I usually stick to self-found and crafted goods. Did trade for my new chest as I wanted a 5L for farming gem.

I looked at the build trees you are talking about and nothing suggests to me that they are not viable later. The builds got nerfed because they were by far the best. That doesn't mean they are unviable now.

What I do is I just use another person's build as a base. Why did they do this? How much life/defense should I have for a ranged character? How can I fit this to suit my playstyle or gear which could be different? You should try and understand the reasoning behind a build so you can make your own more easily. Usually as long as you have enough defense you can make up for few offensive nodes with gear.

Wow this guy has massive

Man U guys r being a little hard on this guy! Wish I had an answer for ya! I kinda just fiddle around with a general idea and tweak it as I level. Use other builds as reference and inspiration. GL. Btw...all the helpful nerds are trying out the new leagues.
"Truth be told, I have no idea what the fuck is going on anymore." Stephen Hawkins
All of you people who are acting like he's out of line for asking for a general build to follow so he can be viable endgame are idiots.

Some people don't have the time required to level 10 characters to find one they like.
