Only thing is your Ventor's roll isn't good enough to be better than running a high roll Andvarius (15/68+). There's a link in the FAQ regarding the values required to be better than a high-rolled Andvarius, but the short version is you need at least a 7/40 or 8/39 Ventor's in order to beat out a perfect Andvarius roll.

It's not a huge deal since you're running the flask for culling, as far as the MF standpoint goes, and I also understand that there's a nice advantage in terms of resistance balancing and having extra life since the rest of the rolls on that Ventors are actually quite good but I just wanted you to be aware that strictly from an MF standpoint, it's an inefficient iiq/iir roll.

Yes, I know, I bought a very bad roll for 1ex and used 3 divines so far to make it like that. When I have more currency I will try to get a better roll, of course.
Thanks for the advice!

Thank you so much Sarleth for making this guide, and thank you so much more for continuing to add content and help people.

I'm level 68, loving the build, but I have one question since I started mapping.... What do I do with all the chests, boots, gloves, weapons, etc... that are rare? I don't need them for the chaos recipe. So do I ID every item, and then vendor them if they won't sell above 5 alts?

Also, can you give me a breakdown for what you do with items based on itemlevel? I think you mentioned it in your inventory management video briefly. Did you say you no-id chaos recipe items 60-72, id recipe 72-75 (because higher chance for better rolls/money?), and then regal recipe (no id or do you id?) 75+?

I've been flying through scrolls of wisdom's since I've been ID'ing everything, and I feel like I'm doing it wrong.

As you know Poison Arrow (the cloud part) does not work with Culling Strike, so what I did is this.

Also, this is not true. Serleth himself uses IIR on his 6L bow and since his physical damage is quite low, i doubt he would not use anything else instead of IIR if the gem didn't work with the cloud.


@Serleth I'd suggest you to edit the main post and put it there somewhere in bold/big letters.

Moonlight thief is correct. This is mis-read on your part.

Poison Arrow's cloud cannot cull, but at no point did he mention that IIR does not work with the cloud.

He was speaking strictly in terms of culling and in regards to his adaptation of the build for party play, whereupon you would need a second skill in order to cull.

You're welcome, and thank you for your kind words =D

a) I would say 8 alts / 1 fuse. It depends on your stash space availability and on how much shop maintenance you're willing to do but presuming you wanted to list every item worth something to somebody, 8 alts / 1 fuse value is where I would start. Then vendor everything else.

b) Yes, but for those that didn't catch it, here's the breakdown:

* Unid chaos recipe from 60-71
* Id recipe from 72-74 (72 is where the old t1 (now t2) resistance tiers start).
* Regal recipe (always identified) 75+

I have 2 tabs dedicated to unid chaos recipes at this time. What do I do with the surplus of chest armor, weapons, etc.? Do I ID them even though I won't use them for the recipe? Amulets and rings are always the limiting reagent for chaos recipes.

With excess armor, helmets, etc, things I can't use for the recipes, Do I??....:

-ID everything: vendor shitty, if worth 1fuse+ sell in shop
-Only ID, 4L, 5L, or 6s equipment I see, don't even pick up the other stuff
-Don't pick up the equipment at all
-Pick up, don't ID anything, and just vendor right away

I'm new to PoE, so sorry if this is common knowledge.

Once you're at a surplus (or pre-completed recipe tab, as in the case of my video, however you choose), pick up and vendor everything worth less than a fuse.

Hi man! Nice build and Guide.I'm now lvl 35 Ranger on HC with this build. Easy and effectivnes leveling, but i have one more quesiton:
-How many times you die since you start playing on Warbands?
-How your survivability?

No idea (not logged in right now), but I don't think I died once until level 85. Maybe once. (Not including Malachai, btw, but that was pre-nerf and I just threw lives at him until I moved into Cruel/Merciless).

Then I started to play carelessly, because it's softcore and... well, whatever.

Just fine. If I'm playing carefully, I don't die. Ever. And that's with the SC tree.

Hi Serleth

Could You describe Your Map reroll strategy?

Best Regards

Clarify please. For what purpose?

E.G.:
1) Which affix you choose when You reroll,
2) from which levels of maps and what you use currency
