Archmage is just really OP at making a solid build that scales both offense and defense. In most situations and mid tier maps you can probably get away without always having fortify/endurance charges up once your gear is alright. Conductivity can be got a ring eventually freeing that up. things like vaal grace you hit pretty infrequently and arent a big deal to just keep on second bar I thought about it a little bit and I'm gonna stick with it. I put vaal grace on the second bar and with the way I have my buttons set up it seems manageable now. I probably will notice the build get better once I get to level 90+ and get Cloak of Defiance asap. Right now I'm lvl 76 I found the build really didn't hit its stride until I was almost level 90. There are a lot of important passives you won't be able to path to until then because the ranger's starting point is essentially diametric to where our juiciest nodes are on the tree. And yeah, a CoD will help a ton. This build scales heavily with investment; I've probably tripled my damage in the last week as I became able to afford purchases in the 3-9 ex range. (Unnatural Instinct is huge.) Also, make sure you check out the gem explanations in the discord; they helped me a ton. For instance, I was playing with a fully levelled Spell Cascade until I read that, and switching to a level 1 one was a big single-target DPS increase.

Just following up - thanks again for this. Made a few of the changes you said (I'll need to save up to afford more) and the difference is crazy. Yes my HP went down to 3500 (not ideal, I died once to a huge crit) but my mana went up by like 3k and is close t0 10k now and the DPS increase is bonkers, plus I'm tankier for sustained damage. Still having trouble getting all of my resists taken care of in 1-2 pieces of gear and managing to get any chaos resist. That's the trouble with having no resists on chest/amulet/helm.

I probably will notice the build get better once I get to level 90+ and get Cloak of Defiance asap. Right now I'm lvl 76 I have Arcane Cloak on LMB, Sigil of Power on middle button, Bladefall on RMB, Bladeblast on W, Enduring Cry on E, Conductivity on R, and Vigilant Strike on T. I sort of roll over E-R-T every ten seconds or so to maintain full uptime on those buffs, so it kinda feels like I'm just handling a single button press. Not as good as micromanaging each buff individually, but way easier.	Posted by Kwyjibo20 on May 18, 2021, 5:00:52 PM Quote this Post
I'm a new player, lvl85 and doing T7,8 maps. I just noticed I only have 1.5k evasion rating (5% evade chance) but your early game POB shows 11k evasion rating (62% evade chance). I checked passives but they are alike and I don't see much difference of evasion rating on gears. Can you think of any mistake I might making? (my gears are not 20% qualities yet, but does it make that much difference?) And it might be related, I have mana problem too. With Agnostic, half of time I have no mana and really hard to regenerate to use any skills. Maybe it's just my evasion rating is too low and I'm getting hit too much? Especially in a boss fight it feels like regenerate mana is nearly impossible after mana flask runs out. Is there any trick in boss fight or do I just need better gears and more mana gen?

Chaos isn't really much of a challenge... DPS for those is typically pretty low, and Agnostic can out-regen it in most cases. The only chaos resist I have is Atziri's flask, and it's never been a problem. Current league IGN: Teldra_Anc_LAD Feel free to message me in game if I'm on.

I'd have a look at your character, but it's marked as private, so I can't see. Evasion comes from Cloak of Defiance, and either a flask boost or blind on hit gloves. If you're missing one of those, this could be your problem. Your mana flask should basically never run out. Even on long boss fights... You can hit this 5 times, for 5s each, so 25s total without killing critters to re-fill. Edit: Math owns me today, evidently.

The "Mid Game Gear (Ready for all endgame content): https://pastebin.com/idGJ1Ydh" POB and gear is good enough for T16s, conquerors and Sirus? I am currently following that pob and at lvl 83 right now except I added agnostic, supreme ego, replica mistwall, healthy mind and finally got my 6 link Next step is one of the end game builds right? Which one is the cheapest to transition to and how much would it cost?	Posted by TheChosenOne_ on May 20, 2021, 1:09:04 AM Quote this Post
