FA / AFD: pretty similar in term of tooltip dps. FA uses more mana, AFD will be resisted more easily.
Bow needs an upgrade for sure.

ok thx will save for a bow, hope i can get something sweet for ~5ex

I made some adjustments to my setup just based on my playstyle. At the moment I'm just doing 1-2 man 75-77 maps (saving all 78 for Dom Rots) so I don't really need Puncture unless I start doing Atziri again, which is not remotely profitable in perm league and I'd rather have the exa from Fragments.

This is what I'm using now:



I also have:



Which potentially could allow me to switch to LMP but I lose a lot of crit, so I'm hesitant to do so. Kaom's, even if non-Legacy, has been super nice and I'm sitting about 30 life away from 6K life. I have currency prepped for a potential Glyph Mark buy, but I really don't want to commit to anything, especially with new tier mods and potentially different gem configurations.

Only 27K GMP TS with 20Q Gems (leveling a new set atm so they will be lower in what I linked), but more than enough for 75-77 Maps

You don't need a better bow, honestly. I'd rather mirror an amulet or quiver with legacy crit multi, but I agree you should wait until 2.0, so that we know more about the new tier of mods.

Yeah I just feel for some reason 27K GMP TS is somewhat low for damage, but could just be me. The bow I have is nice, ~389 pDPS I believe, but the allure of getting another 160 pDPS is definitely tempting.

I did take a look into Legacy Crit Multi quivers and well rolled ones are definitely gonna break into the mirror fund if I choose to go that route, so I haven't decided yet. However, that said, maps have really not been a problem. Gonna get together a 6L so I can still have a Puncture-Trap setup.

hey guys i got a question!

its prolly a bit stupid but whatever

first of all - the guide is excellent and does not miss any important things


the thing i have a problem with is the leveling section

i am really familiar with all other classes but i just cant play with ranger it seems


so my question: what should i level with ?

im playing in the 1month hc league and got alot of stuff from other chars that i can use


do rangers lvl with bows, and if so which skills ?

i got split shot as first quest reward and it SUCKS :O

ofc i only have a white bow yet, but this 2 arrows almost do no dmg and im out of mana in seconds

should i better use a 2h weapon and rush through the acts with static strike ? ( i do that with marauder/templar/duelist)


maybe some experienced ranger can help me out with my issue..

i read the whole guide more than 1x and i know there is a leveling section, but he writes that we do good dmg and can tank a bit -> i feel nothing of that yet, in fact i couldnt even do the first mobs without problems ( WAY more problems than with other classes )

any advice is highly appreciated !

thanks

Generally for leveling if you have access to Elreon Jewelry it's pretty easy.

Silverbranch >>> Quill Rain early with Burning Arrow (from the dead exile) to get you to Storm Cloud, with 2 pieces of Elreon Jewelry Storm Cloud carries you pretty far. At 32 you get Death's Harp and the rest is up to you :)

Hey what curse is better to use when mapping ? . assasin's mark or warlords mark ?
