That sounds great. Tankiness was my goal when I started playing this build last league.

Thedeathbeam, wanted to say thank you for this awesome build and guide. I was playing an armour Champion before (Hank the Tank) and this build is way easier to play, while doing loads more damage and being fast.

Looking forward to play this build again this league.

Thanks, I am really glad that people are enjoying the build :)

On that note:

Build updated for 3.11

Path of Building fork was updated too, so make sure you update to it as it is required to see 3.11 tree.

EDIT:
PoB is updated in main post, but here it is again: https://pastebin.com/nyaWYrnk

Thank you for the very fast update!

I have nothing but amazing memories playing this build back in 3.9 and since I didn't have many ideas of my own I'll play this again. It's looking really good with the huge defensive boosts and additional QoL at the loss of some damage.

I was thinking about this build as league starter in ssf, how good chaos dot bow build are in ssf?
i'm quite scared of farming for 6 link bow.

Envy aura viable? 75% more added chaos damage looks good

Hi, thank you a lot for the guide and the quick updates! I've never tried the ranger class so I'm planning to play this as my starter for the upcoming league.

That said, I did some tests in standard and it looks promising, but that's my first time playing bows and I got a bit confused on a basic level: before having access to unique/BiS bow (so mostly during leveling and early maps), what stats am I looking to id/craft on bows and quivers?

You can always just go for TR or CA before switching to SA. Also, this build needs only 1 6 link, so Tabula works, or just farming some vaal areas for it, you dont need 6l bow at all.

Yes, I think it should be very strong as endgame DPS amulet from Aul's.

Ideally just phys and attack speed. If you are leveling with SA, you can optimize it a bit by using sash recipe for phys bows, and after that lioneye's glare, then you can drop precision and have some free mana to comfortably run malevolence before you farm some elder bow and fossil craft it. For quiver, again flat phys is good, attack speed is good. Drillneck is always very accessible early on the league and it alone can carry you very far.

Derp. Right. I'm a complete moron.

Also, quick question...considering we're pathing by Wind Dancer, is it better to replace the chest with Kintsugi now for wind dancer/kintsugi combo?
