I am on standard. I will defiantly go with Ranger if that is the case. Ty for info! How do you know that ranger will be the best?

The Endless Munitions notable. Provides us with free AoE with the additional arrow, allowing us to drop the iAoE gem to include another damage gem.

One thing I've been playing with while mapping is Vaal Summon Skele. It helps with bosses tremendously by drawing aggro.

This I will try to fit in my set-up aswell :)


Update#3 (Next one won't be for a while)
Alright, when I got home from work yesterday I decided to push the last bit from Vaal>Dried Lake, but was invited to a party by @Chronodroid which I had messaged for his Thrift Giveaway, and can't thank him enough for his help which got me this far already! So Thanks once again Chrono if ur still lurking in here ;)

Oh well, down below is my gear atm, bought it as cheap as I could while still getting rarity/life in all slots. Some extra int for level 12 Wither and also being rescapped by 15+, not bothering with chaos res tho.
Spoiler


I appologize for the weird order, so hard to link it from phone (WTB mobilefriendly forum)

Anyway, is there anything you would suggest changing Serleth?
I'm sitting at nearly 4k life (3950ish), I have a cull on weapon-swap atm with a Wand+Wheel of the Stormsail 39% IIR (Flame Totem+Cull+IIR).

As I see it now it all works great, just wished I had more skill slots on action bar. It's filled with Movement+Blood Rage+CA, and Frenzy CoH+Rallying+Wither Totem+Blink Arrow+Flame Golem(Auras).

There's no place for me atm with Vaal Lightning Trap, unless I switch it with movement. But then it will just target something random when trying to flee lol. Oh well ^^

Build works fine and the 20/20 CA it's just sick! Monster's can't stand my smell longer than a sec, which is great. But it's a downside aswell, it makes me lazy to wep-swap for the cull, except on mapbosses ofc ;)

Fairgraves in Sewer dropped me a Unique Bow which I hoped was Windripper, when mousing over it appeared to be Lioneye's tho ^^

If any of u have any tips for me just write here, will be lurking for about 8hrs until I end my shift at work :)

Looks like a good start. Nothing really to contribute right now regarding your gear other than the obvious: work towards the advised upgrades.

Ah Thanks! Still working on improving my flasks tho. But it works for now until I get more alts to re-roll ones in my stash.

Serleth, on a completed build, let's say you would finalize your character instead of challenges, how do u distribute skills to the action-bar? Which ones do u use all the time etc?

Cuz the Flame golem just keeps dying so gotta res him from time to time ^^

yeah flasks are our only safety net when life gets depleted.

I have this setup: left mouse move only, right mouse CA, middle mouse (wheel press) is bloodrage
Q is blink arrow, W is Frenzy-Coh, E is wither totem, R is Vaal light Trap, T for auras and golem

you don't need to have all auras separate, when you activate one, you can switch to another and activate that, the first wont disappear

e: mixed something up lol :)

Left-mouse: move only
Middle-mouse: Golem
Right-mouse: Wither Totem
Q: Frenzy CoH
W: Blink Arrow
E: Blood Rage
R: Caustic Arrow
T: Portal

I don't usually bother with Rallying Cry because I hate having to constantly switch to my Portal gem, which is a godsend for not having to go shopping for Wisdom scrolls. Rallying Cry is only really a difference-maker I find for tanky mobs / bosses, and Vaal Lightning Trap trumps RC as far as the damage boost goes.

To that end, I only use Vaal Lightning Trap for bosses, so in my finalized Standard build, I'll change Blood Rage over to VLT and just rely on the Frenzy CoH setup to maintain charges.

If I feel I really need the damage boost from RC for particular situations, I'll change Portal over to RC.

No curse on hit? Yeah I change Flame Golem to auras when I first need to apply them, them back to Golem since I need to re-Summon him :)

And Thanks once again for all the help! If u got a portal gem for sale or any other CA-gear better than mine, just write to me in-game when u can =)

Yeah I was thinking this too, but instead change portal to wep-swap and have Trap accessable at all Times :)
Hey guys,

I'm a newer player, started POE over the holidays. Played a Arc templar to 68 first to learn the game. Then saw this great guide and I really liked it. Been following it ever since, and lurking this thread for more info. I'm lvl 77 now and nearing the end of the gearing process, only have +3 bow left on the list.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for your guide, it's well written and informative. Also your stash video is great, I learned a lot. Thank you!

Also, I want to share a tip I saw in another post about action keys.

You can use mouse left-click for golem as well. It won't summon a golem unless you hold Shift + left click. So it's the same as move only, and Shift+left click becomes your golem key. This saves a hotkey, which I use to fit in portal.

My setup is:

Left-mouse: Golem
Middle-mouse: Portal
Right-mouse: CA
Q: Blink Arrow
W: Frenzy COH
E: Wither totem
R: Lightning trap
T: Blood Rage

Hope this helps!

Cheers :)
