At work so couldnt spend too much time looking.
Initial thoughts. Recolor bow and use elemental focus instead of faster attacks.
drop void barrier passive and instability, pickup throatseeker +2

PS. You could look for gloves with Accuracy and attack speed.
Remember: Resistances are hardly a problem as long as you are able to use the flasks properly. 50% fire res from dying sun, 50% lightning res from vinktar, 35% all res from wise oak.

This is an important point, so I'll echo it - you can skimp on resistances on gear if you can keep your flasks up 100% of the time, which is not unreasonable for Dying Sun, Wise Oak, and Taste of Hate.

You actually get 75% resists from Dying Sun and Taste of Hate, and 52% all resists from Wise Oak - don't forget the 50% flask effectiveness we get as Pathfinders :).

I'm also starting to see a lot more players using Wise Oak over Taste of Hate, although I think that Taste of Hate is still the superior option. Assuming that you can equalize your Fire and Lightning Resistances Wise Oak will reduce 15% of incoming cold damage, but a Taste of Hate will reduce 36% incoming of cold damage *and* reduce either 25% incoming physical damage for a non-legacy ToH or 38% incoming physical damage for a legacy version (which isn't too expensive). ToH is an amazing defensive flask for this build and its contribution to dps can rival the dps contribution of Wise Oak as you scale your physical damage.

Dice your Spell Totem + Ele Weak idea worked out pretty well. Such weird parallel, it feels similar to casting a Wither Totem :D

Yeah it roughly multiplies your dps by 1.2 versus Shaper/Guardians, and its nice to just throw out the totem against Shaper while you wait for the fight to begin. This build basically has 5 open slots for gems, so if we want to push the offense we can slot Ele Weakness + Totem and level 4 Enhance + Blood Rage (join that Enhance to the Ice Golem for improved Golem survivability).

So I reskilled my lvl 99 wander in LHC to SignalShot, as bosses just didn't went as smooth as I would like them to go.

I have to say, SignalShot is great! The clear, the single target... it just feels amazing.

However I have the issue that at certain packs with an reflect aura, i simply oneshot myself if my vinktars is e.g. not up.

This is especially annoying when im spawning beyond (since beyond is very important for my progress to get to 100)

My gear:

There's very little you can do about that. I recommend getting used to spamming vinktars a lot.

Spoiler

dont use ppad in your LA setup, use chain + pierce, since your pierce chance is not 100% they can work together.

ppad increases X-Y damage dramatically so you die to reflect. faster attacks + pierce or faster attacks / chain is my setup with LA. (there can be better setups, but ppad is a no-no for sure)

i see that you are into getting frenzy charges, that is great but also another solution for reflect is to use herald of ash. thanks to it's overkill ignite damage while you are killing the mobs around the reflect mob, reflect mob dies meanwhile to ignite damag or his health gets reduced to the amount where you can't kill yourself with reflect.

Just someone who has been following this post a lot longer than you.
I gave you advice that has been discussed here multiple times... Next time you want help go back and read the last 270 pages and dont be a jerk :)

/facepalm

really awesome and detailed guide man. Really interested in leveling a ranger and using this build but im just wondering if I can clear all content with 22ex and 1000c budget. Tips would be highly appreciated, cheers!
