Hey, I'm bit confused about the passive tree, I see that you only took a small amount of nodes around the scion and rest is basically ranger start. But in order to do that you would at least need to do cruel lab, so how does that work then? Do you just connect to the line by profane chemistry and go down and later respec out of it?

Yes, exactly.

Yes, exactly.

Also, Ranger start takes 5 ascendancy points which means Merciless Lab at minimum... altho your first 6 points are better spent on Deadeye and Occultist, so Ranger start should be the last thing you do, to gain 3 skillpoints instead of the 2 you'd gain putting 1 into each ascendancy sub-tree... I do 40 int & dex in normal lab for gem leveling, Deadeye in cruel, occultist in merciless, ranger start in uber

I am extremely, extremely sorry for posting such a nublet question, but - why does everyone collect belts? I have NeverSink's filter and it keeps telling me that belts are useful items, despite being Normal and low-level. In your inventory/stash vid (which was excellent!) you mentioned at one point checking on your belts ("how are my belts doing? my belts are fine" around 9:30) - what are those used for?

Apologies again if this is a stupid question, google has failed me in this so I'm hoping you can help. Thanks!

In my case, in the video, it's about the chaos recipe and how my stock of belts was doing in regards to that.

But higher ilvl good base belts are also good for alcing to try make a profit if you're swimming in alcs.

And no need to apologize for the question. It's a solid question =)

And thanks for the compliment =D

and some people collect white Leather Belts to either to chance into Headhunter or sell in bulk to others doing so when Nemesis League is available from the Zana map device (lvl 8 this league)...

Thanks for the amazing guide. Really loving the build so far!

However, I am wondering why I have massively less damage than you do.

Right now Im sitting at 15k with 5 frenzy charges up, whereas your guide is showing 25k with 7 charges.

I'm also missing about 100 IIR that I have no idea where to get from. :(

True, true.

Looks like your characters are set to private, so it's tough for any of us to check through your gear / tree to find the deficiencies.

Oh they were? Damn, sorry, thought they were public. I've set them to public now, sorry.

Note: I typed this up and forgot to hit submit for 3hrs



Updated response: some of my assumptions were wrong, but I must be missing something... because I also have a 15.5k tooltip, and I only have a 6L +2 bow at the moment, 4 frenzy charges, no empower, and a lvl 20 gem... my main improvement is jewels... all my jewels have at least 2 of the useful +dmg mods for 20-25% dmg and 6-7% life (recently swapped out the last of my all resists +8-10%)... also have 1-2 triple dmg jewels with 30-35% dmg total... they are a bit pricey but a good investment

Back on the topic of IIR, main thing I see is maxing out your Andvarius... I used this search to find ones with at least 75% IIR The idea at the time was if I sort for 69-70% explicit then, I might find a cheaper one that just needs some cheap Blessing Orbs to hit 80-85... looks like most people have dont that for you now and can get an 83% one for 19c...
