Im on merc act 4 having a real bad time with the 3 mini bosses in the harvest. Maligaro like 2-3 shots me with his purple orbs. I'm not sure what im doing wrong. its been smooth sailing up until now (or honestly when i go up against bosses, it seems like my setup is bad for single target) I stack up my frenzy charges and try to unload blast rain as much as i can but it takes forever for some reason and now agaisnt Maligro im dying. I killed him eventually but i want to know if there is something inherently wrong with my setup or is it just me being a noob or both. I'm capped on res and have 3.3k hp.


Bumping my old question with another one

Would buying this help my dps ? it would be a real big investment for me but if it would help i will bite the bullet.

This is the one i have
I'm sure this has already been asked but I've gone back a few pages and haven't found it so maybe someone can help me out, but I was wondering if reach of the council would be good for this build over a harbinger. I'm planning on spending around 13ex on a 6l council so I was wondering how they would compare.

its really good. instead of GMP take increased crit gem -> about same crit. harbinger bows are only better when rolled "insanely" good.
Regarding mana sustain, using a LA/BR setup, I dropped the Essence Sap cluster in favor of the leach cluster in the duelist area. I've read builds that say that just the one 0.4% life/mana leach node is sufficient (I took a life leach node to get there), but I've found that I have mana issues when blast raining bosses. A piece of Elreon's jewelry fixed the problem for now, but how deep into the duelist leach cluster have people needed to go? Do I just have a low DPS issue?

To figure this out, one must be able to see gear.

Hello everyone,

first off.. great guide. I'm a total beginner and this guide really helped me get started with the game. Everything was very overwhelming at first, but with the help of a friend and this guide, I managed to hit level 65 now (end of act3 merciless).

Now I've encountered some problems with the skilltree though and I simply don't know what to do.. I'm stuck.


In your guide it says:

"Leveling Skilltree - 77 points"
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAIAAABeBbUGIwguCIkKmw2NFr8ZjiF2I_Yk_SaVMHwx-jKUNj051D7PTZJRR1T-VUtbr11oYeJirGyMbWxwUnX9dvd463sUfXV_An8rhG-GzonTjDaNfY2_lLiVBZcGmvGbjZ2qoJ-hpKbgp9S1SLvjvebBM8FJxKLI3Mqp037UI9RC2cbh2-cK51TndOjW7YPvevlj_MX-Hf66_sj_3g==

I've followed that 100% (except for the 1 node leading nowhere?)

Seems like certain things are no longer in there (perhaps got changed with 2.3) or it's simply broken?



It all gets even more messy when we get to the 88pts part:
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAIAAABeBbUGIwguCIkKmw2NFr8ZjiF2I_Yk_SaVMHEwfDH6MpQ2PTnUOkI-z0MxS3hM_02STipRR1T-VUtVhVoaW69daGHiYqxsjG1scFJ1_Xb3eOt7FH11fwJ_K4Rvhs6J04w2jX2Nv5S4lQWXBprxm42dqqCfoaSly6bgp9S1SLvjvebBM8FJwzPEosjcyqnTftQj1ELZxt2o4dvnCudU53To1u2D73r5Y_zF_h3-uv7I_94=


your comment about this part of the tree:
"We pick up 2 frenzy charges, phase acrobatics and thick skin to prepare ourself for endgame maping. Please read the frenzy charge section (at the end of this post) if you want to understand the reason behind it. Use bloodrage and/or frenzy to keep charges up. We also regret/respec 3 nodes (damage->critchance/ias around aspect of the eagle and the 1 dex node next to our jewel socket - the frenzy duration is better)"

First off.. I don't know WHAT exactly to regret/respec..and how it all works.. I'm a bit confused. And most of all: I cannot find "thick skin".
Keep in mind: I'm just a shitty noob and have no idea what I'm doing, but this would be the part where I started getting a bit confused.. I hope someone can help me out here. Im level 65 atm and have 7 skillpoints left (end of act3).




e: oh.. I guess I could just click on the full (NORMAL) skilltree.. it works properly there. Although I don't really know in which order I should get the different passive skills.. and the regret/respec-thingy still confuses me.

I mean honestly I don't really pay attention that much to the passive tree "order."

Early on you want mostly Life Nodes, Acrobatics, and some projectile damage or Physical Damage nodes. When you are at a point where you can afford Crit, that's when you start adding it in with the tree.

Hello there.

Don't be that anxious about the tree. You can follow the guide of course, but you can try things by your own, this is the most fun part of the game. At this stage of the game, you should have a lot of respec points so you can try different nodes, see what's better for you.

As a rule of thumb, you want to pick "core" nodes at the start : life, defenses (Acro, evasion rating,etc...), and some damages. As you reach end-game ( you're act 3 merc, so this is the start of end-game), you want to now take as much crit nodes as possible (assuming you go crit?), because your gear should now be worth it, and it will scale nicely.

If you really don't want to try by your own, look at different guides to cross ideas and pick some nodes from one and another.

Don't stick so tight to the original tree, there is a lot of ways to have an great tree, because it can fit different playstyles.

You feel more defensive? Take defense. You feel more offensive? Take a lot of crits/damage. This is as simple as it sounds.

Good luck, from an another newbie :P
Hi guys,

been playing this build in warbands, I want to take back my ranger.

I'm now playing in std so I already have some stuff.

Got a drillneck now and I'm wondering if, it is better to go drillneck or no drillneck tree ?

Got another question relating to crafting,

Got my old 293pDps 5L hardbinger, i'm trying to craft my own.

So I bought a ilvl83 one and start spamming alts.

Starting with 1400alt, now got 400. In that thousand spam, only got 1 T1 phy prefix but got no luck with the rest of the process.

during that I got a tons of T1 in elemental damage (especially fire).

Is all prefix / suffix have the same % chance to be rolled or elemental rolls have better chance?

Or I'm very unlucky :) (and yeah it's very frustating :) )

Thanks !
