After Act 5 enemies kill me a lot.
Can someone take a quick look at my Betrayal character and explain what I'm doing wrong? (Sorry, it's only my second char ever).

You need more res and life on your build, and you need to change your bow asap.

Hi,

Can someone explain to me why is my curse on hit not working?

sorry, 1st ranger build ever.

thanks!

For curse to apply you need to shatter enemies and for that you need to have enough damage. If you go to lower lvl zone and kill some packs you'll see that you get your charges just fine.

Barrage - Ice Bite Support - Added COld Damage - Elemental Focus - Elemental Damage with attacks -
I am 90% converting to cold via Hrimsorrow and the Passive nodes.
SHould i switch one of the gems to mirage archer?

Thanks for any information on this.

The gems you're using are fine and are the best setup assuming they're lvl 20. Depending on the rest of your gear gems like GMP (if you don't have dying sun yet), cold peneteration or slower projectiles might be slightly better or worse. if you have doubts you can always check in Pob.

Sorry if I ask stupid questions but how does this build deal with new betrayal mechanics? It would be my build to reroll from freezing pulse assassin, since I get oneshotted by almost everything and I have 2.5k HP there.

If you just stand still and get hit you will die no matter what kind of build you're playing. This build isn't particularly tanky. On the final endgame setup you get more or less 5.5k-6k hp. To play this build efficiently (or most projectile based builds) you have to learn do stutter step - that means to never stand still and attack. You have an amazing move speed on raider and you should utilize this to do a sequence of attack - move - attack - move.

this build is hard to play, it's not a walking simulator like most builds in Poe now and that's why it's my favorite build.

Also, do I really need to invest a lot (like 5-6 ex is a lot for me) to be able to make high tier maps?

No, I cleared the atlas 2nd day of the league with a gear worth of around 1ex. most expensive item was a yellow 6-link that i bought for 20c

"

@edit Also, can this build farm uber lab?

Uber lab is walk in the park for any competent build.

"

1) I currently have 6l Death´s Opus. Should I swap it for Lioneye or is it ok to use Opus?

Opus is ok but Lioneye is much better.

"

2) What skill gem should be dropped in TS if using Shroud? Pierce?

it's fine to drop pierce but you'll need to spec into pierce on your tree in that case (3 points). Or you could drop added cold.

"

One more Q i have, phase acrobatics, i see you didnt spec into, not worth it or? Your original 3.5 PoB pastebin had it, now im not so sure anymore?

In PoB I'm 95, in betrayal I'm 90. When I get more lvls I will likely spec into it.

"

I noticed on your skill tree you dont have the winter spirit node for the 40% conversion? did you go with something else?

That was a mistake, thank you fixed it.

Hi There, first time posting and also first actual league.

I must say I am really enjoying the build. it is a lot of fun.

One thing, for some reason "it that fled" straight up one shots me if I don't kite enough. So I end up kiting him hoping my mirage archer finish him off slowly.

would you mind checking my betrayal char and let me know if I am still on the right track?

Really appreciate the guide and the hard work.

Thank you.

Your profile is private.

Sorry about that, changed it now.

So uberlab can be done without stressing out so much I guess?

5,5-6k hp is tanky compared to my build now (2.5K hp and no evasion or armor).

For leveling tips, you recommend frost blades or toxic rain. I would go for toxic rain, do u have some good items to recommend and gem links? I have a tabula, but weapon wise?
