Im really enjoying my ranger right now but im unsure what to focus on improving gearwise.
Here's what im rocking right now:


My Frenzy dps with Bloodrage and charges is 110k and my TS dps is 42k.

Do i keep farming until i can afford a 6L or is there something else to replace first?

Im also wondering if a HoI CoH setup is better than HoA.


6L is a good damage boost. Should you choose to get a 6L make it your chest. You will need to replace your bow soon.

This is what you should aim for in each gear slot to maximize your damage / survivability:

Head: Rat's Nest
Chest: Rare - HP > Evasion > Resist
Boots: Rare - movement speed > HP > Resist
Gloves: Maligaro's
Belt: Rare (Rustic or a really good Leather) - HP > Resist > WED (most likely enchant)
Amulet: Rare - DMG (flat phys, crit multi, crit chance) > HP > attributes (most likely 0 resists)
Bow: DPS
Quiver: Spike-Point Quiver base rare - crit multi > crit chance > WED > HP (possible room for AS enchant).

Jewels & Rings: Balance the last stats you need. That means Get max res and possibly attributes so you do not need to put points into STR / INT (1 x +30 int from passives is most likely a good idea though).
Ring: Diamon base rare: Get flat phys & accuracy. From there on there are several good options, but try to get some decent hp. Crit chance enchant is also nice.

And that is it.

So from what you just read this means:
Re-enchant Quiver to get 18+ WED
Get new belt (rustic with high 80+ hp, 110+ all res, room for WED enchant)
Get a new bow and try to 6L it.
From there on start working on jewelry (Amulet + Rings + Jewels) OR get a GG chest before working on jewelry (I think your chest is decent)

Also you might wanna read this thread: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1549663 for improved gem setups when your damage gets higher (remember you are doing elemental damage which is in most cases worse than physical damage due to resists).

It's a 330 DPS bow, you can multimod it with AS and CC and you can push it to 350 pDPS with chance.

If you can afford the 4ex, why not.

Completely depends on your budget / goals for the league / rest of gear / passives.

For instance if you want to keep in standard league and go raider you could gain 70% attack speed from frenzy charges / raider points which means you cannot really make it any better.

You could always enchant "keep prefixes" -> scour -> Elreon multimod -> Attack speed + Crit chance (good rolls) -> Yolo exalt.

However you would lose your 38% crit multiplier which I find to be a really nice roll (arguably better than attack speed).

My choice (depending on budget) - live with that one and buy a new one when you have the currency for it :)

Keep tat bow as is. That perfect crit multi is better than attack speed.

When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch?
If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...
Have there veen any discussion on the best Ascendancy class for this build? While there are still too many undisclosed variables, I'm nevertheless curious what would be the perfect match for a phys TS archer with current values.
Deadeye is the natural choice imho. If second arrow after TS explosion can chain, the +1 chain node may bring some fun with non pierce TS.
The pathfinder tree seems a good choice too, if you have some good flasks and an appropriate belt. It will be harder to use you the flask affixes are mostly suffixes and this will make res sensibly harder to cap.

A noob crafting question here: got this one



The guide says I should aug it (no matter what the suffix will be) + regal. Should I really aug it or just regal + multimod or something like that?

Pathfinder for utility, drawn out boss fighting (like uber atziri), security.
Raider for map clearing speed, frenzy builds.
Deadeye does not really anything but more damage for a tornado build, which we do not need.

However that is just my take. All 3 are viable options for a standard bow archer setup and all 3 brings new possibilities.

Personally I am going for a raider build to go for 100.
