For some reason I never played a ranger in POE before now. I started a Tornado Shot one this league and drat its fun as hell.

Up to merciless now though, and I'm occasionally getting my face punched in by bursts of damage.

Can someone tell me if I'm doing anything majorly wrong? I know that I need better gear with resists. I haven't gone down the poe.trade route yet, so all of my gear has been stuff I found.

Here's the build

I need a build #2 that can kill shaper.

Is there a non-meta build that's good for it? I can probably scrape up currency to buy howa stuff or something, but if there's something non-meta it might end up being vastly cheaper.

Hi,
I just played my first Marauder and went with LiftingNerds 2H Cyclone Juggernaut build in the new League (I missed a few patches and leagues). I finished Cruel and am running maps now (Tier 1). I had a bit of trouble with Malachai and am wondering what I can do to the build to improve it. Here is the build. I essentially have everything the build requires; Kaom's, Belly of the Beast, enough res and life. My boots, helm, gloves, rings, and ammy are rare's. Are there any uniques I could get for cheap to help me farm maps and withstand bosses.
Thank you for the help.

Poison Blade Vortex can do it on a pretty low budget, there's really nothing better for killing bosses. HoWA just has the advantage of killing all 4 guardians equally well. Poison BV can do Hydra/Chimera, but they are not nearly as easy as Minotaur/Phoenix.

The guy claims it can kill shaper. 2 totems with double dip ignite dmg. Life based so gear is cheap. You can get the kit going with a few c's, only kaom's is expensive, 2-3ex or so.

Any thoughts on how to handle breaches as a pizzasticks inquisitor? I preload a couple totems but they just get overwhelmed and I pretty much have to stay outside the breach line just to survive.

get more cast speed then, and save your vaal disc for when you're about to get hosed. Don't recast the totems often unless they die and dont charge head first into a pack. Let the totems do the work. Try to have pots rolling and vaal haste.

Olesh posted:

A lot of guides are deceptive about what it takes, unfortunately. The 100%/150% stone golem buff is practically mandatory once you swap to Blood Magic, not because it helps you survive, but because your stone golem exists to power your regen and self-cast SRS is hugely mana-intensive. 100 life/second doubled to 200/250 still isn't enough when you pop Flesh Offering, and once you switch to blood magic part of the reason you want to keep Vaal Clarity running all the time is, besides the damage/cast speed boost from having an extra aura, it also allows you to throw out a full load of SRS without running dry or delaying your ES regen, which is a tremendous quality of life buff that helps makes sure that you're regenning ES as often as possible.

Lots of small improvements, like the Vaal auras, turns out to be tremendous QoL buffs. I never ran in a group and I'm handling T10 maps with gear that isn't really that much better than what you're using, but even if it's not as much as would be ideal, an extra 100 or 200 ES here or there adds up. Having 5k ES saved me in situations where 4k ES wouldn't have been enough, and being able to pop Vaal Discipline/Vaal Haste and delete bosses quickly means that I can continue even though on paper I really ought to be having trouble progressing.

There are a lot of incremental upgrades I can see to get there from here on myself - a Shav's is the most obvious one, worth an extra 1k ES, but getting a good helmet could boost my ES by another 500-750, using a high ES shield instead of Prism Guardian could easily be worth 1k or more, etc, upgrading my Eye of Chayula, etc. It's just expense; do I want to continue to funnel currency into this character, or use it to bankroll a different build that I might enjoy more?

The gems you recommended last post were a huge QoL, finally got those in and stopped bottoming out on mana after 5 SRS casts. I upgraded a few other slots with <5c each including the blade to get to 3.2k ES and it's a lot more comfortable. I ran my first CI character last league, Vaal Disc was huge just for the "start regen NOW" aspect. I'll try to fill out the 2 I'm missing and increased duration next. Thanks again for all the advice, it's really nice to know further is possible at all.

The stone golem buff had 4 results on poe.trade when I was searching (late night PST). Two uniques in the multiple-ex range, one rare up there, and an un-priced white Hubris Circlet. That one's going to take me a while :v: I hit an awkward spot where I need +attributes on my jewelry slots, didn't want to shuffle everything around or use a +30 node just yet.

I kinda doubt I'll re-roll. This build's fun enough, when I have spell echo in the cast animation is like 2 frames.

Well, the gear is crap obviously, but you are only level 62, so it doesn't really matter.

You should be fine with getting rid of both mana flasks. You should deal enough damage that the spirit void cluster leeches enough mana. Get some utility flasks like Diamond, Jade or Silver in those slots. Also get instant life flasks (Seething Prefix), those will help you much more than the ones you have.

Is that axe worth it? Can't tell it I put cyclone in the axe if it will stop using mana or if it is just applicable to normal attacks. Thought Koam's axe was good for culling strike.

What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
You don't put Cyclone in the axe, you put gems to support the Molten Burst it casts and keep Cyclone in your chest. As you cyclone around, it casts the burst due to the Melee Hits. [Edit] Guess I lost track of which Axe we were talking about, my bad.

Following on from my Tornado Shot Doomfletch Pathfinder last league, my current Tornado Shot Windripper character continues to be able to do just about everything. I just finished all the Guardians first try yesterday and will be doing Shaper at some point soonish I think. Not being CI is really dumb and bad seeing as how I got oneshot repeatedly by Minotaur and Chimera Adds (I ran those maps with some pretty rough damage mods because they happened to roll into them when I corrupted). Also, I can't really sustain potions nearly as well since I haven't picked up the flask nodes and have 3 resists instead of a flask mod on my belt.

Character is here: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Ultima66/characters?characterName=MalaiseDotEnnui

I think I will get to Druidic Rite + Primal Spirit at 96 and stop leveling there. I can drop Vitality Void to free up a point too, and extra 1-2 points can go towards Ranger start damage nodes, 3 points can go to a jewel socket, and if I have 4 points free it can go to Phase Acro, depending on what level I actually end up getting to in the end.

And obviously the Ventors and Bisco's are MF gear. For actual content I wear this: http://imgur.com/qd8jxSy. IIR Gem swaps for Ele Focus or Increased Crit Strikes, though Increased Crit Damage might be a better general purpose gem. It doesn't really matter though because IIR is fine to use on all trash at all levels of content, with Ele Focus coming in for Guardians/Shaper.

Goals for gearing: Buy a Dying Sun when the price is more reasonable, get 4 prop jewels with %life rolls on them for all my jewel sockets, get lvl 21 Wrath/Added Lightning when the prices come down a bit, get a Starkonja's Head or well rolled Life + Accuracy + Resists evasion base hat with the same enchant, get a 6L Lightning Coil along with a replacement neck/quiver that has similar offensive stats but has lightning res instead of cold. Yeah the last two there are basically never happening because of general availability. Hyrri's Ire is also a consideration for chest since it's worth like half a gem link in the added cold damage, but it would kind of require me to spend 4 points on Phase Acro to get the most out of it and I wouldn't be willing to use it if I didn't have life on my hat.

Ohhh. I currently have cyclone in Koam's axe. I could re-socket Belly of the Beast but don't know if that is worth the investment. I basically want to use this character to build up some currency and build something end game, like ZiggyD's HOWA build.

Blight CwC Vortex poisoner

I based my build off this guy's but didn't follow it exactly since it's a very 2.5 build with lots of increased Area stacking and I don't like following builds point for point anyway

Pros:
No one else is playing it, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in the entire league because 3-line damage jewels are under 5c
Can kill literally everything in the game
Can facetank everything that isn't Shaper or his guardians

Cons:
Playstyle is almost identical to Blade Flurry CwC Blade Vortex, you're just a wizard instead of using attacks.
Now that Pyre got nerfed this build absolutely 100% requires a 6L chest for Cold to Fire gem and 6L Regalias are 4ex minimum, 6L Beast Furs (suggested by the build) start at 7. All of the other required items can be had for a grand total of 10c or less.
Vortex is bad as hell for Leech so you have to pay attention and move when you need to start ES recharge


Here's mine if you want to see my 2.6 changes but looking over it now I'm actually not far off from what he did, I just went down to scion instead of left to templar

I'm gonna try my hand at creating my own build for the first time. :ohdear: I was inspired by Kripp and want to make poison Abyssal Cry work, but the other popular Abyssal Cry build got taken down.

How does this look? poeplanner It's also my first time going evasion so I have no idea what I'm doing here. I can't help but think I'm going too hard into Templar just for the (nerfed) AOE nodes. Please rip my build apart, goons.

AOE (4L): Abyssal Cry - Poison - Void Manip - Inc AOE
Single Target (5L): BFlurry - CWC - Bladefall - Poison - Void Manip

Alternatives are going pure Blade Flurry, or use Wither for the CWC instead of Blade Flurry.

Also, any suggestions for weapons, other than Breath of the Council offhand?

Someone who knows more than me can correct me if I'm wrong but I think the 6L setup in your weapon is specifically geared towards Melee support gems (and your chest is for manual-cast ranged) so if it's now indiscriminately summoning both types of weapons you'll have a dps loss since you won't have your ranged support gems applying to them.
