Ranger - [Outdated] Lancing Steel Raider | SoftCore | Not league starter viable anymore - Forum

Hmm, I was thinking about getting some less mana reserved, to get: Pride - Flesh and Stone - Dread Banner - Enlighten (lvl 4) aura setup, while also using Precision in another link, not max level tho. Do you think it would be worth it for respecing some points into reduced mana reservation? (there is a minus mana reserved passive cluster in the bottom left corner of our tree) Edit: Now that I look at our tree, we could than also take Versatile Stance passive node, cause it is in range of our Thread of Hope, It gives: 30% Increased Damage while in Blood Stance 15% Increased Area of Effect while in Sand Stance 10% Increased Attack Speed if you've changed Stance Recently Last edited by DeliciousHD#4975 on Apr 28, 2021, 8:48:08 AM	Posted by DeliciousHD#4975 on Apr 28, 2021, 7:30:28 AM Quote this Post

The paradoxica will give you a higher base damage, if you already have a nice 6-link armour, I'd recommend getting the sword first. Have a great one! Fell in love with PoE and now it's my crack.

Regarding the mana reservation, it mostly depends on your setup. If you are struggling with mana consumption or want to level up Precision, it's totally acceptable. The node you mentioned which is probably Champion of the Cause is a good node that also gives you aura effect and aura AoE. Regarding Versatile Stance, I use that, but when I get to double and triple cluster jewels on the build I usually drop it and other damage nodes to free up passive points. I am currenlty using both Versatile stance and the small node from its cluster that is also inside the Thread of Hope, but I plan on dropping both soon when I decide to stack cluster jewels. It's totally alright to fine tune the build to your prefferences, the guide is meant only to show the ropes and interactions so people can build the character and then customize to their liking and to synergize with their setups. Hope you have a great one and take it easy. Fell in love with PoE and now it's my crack.	Posted by Leckarion#5933 on Apr 28, 2021, 9:51:56 AM Quote this Post

Heya! Both late game versions in those PoBs have enough mana cost reduction with legacy mods to drop mana leech. They actually have a 0 mana cost for most skills, such as Ancestral Protector, Blood Rage, Dash, Lancing Steel. SNiper's mark is the only skill in those setups that costs mana, and it costs around 10 mana. With the new nerfed crafting bench mana cost mods you have a 4-5 mana cost for lancing steel per attack with the same setup and will passively regen 16 mana per second not counting the mana leech, but the new buffed veiled mods get you a even higher mana cost discount. You're always able to swtich a bit the setup to have Lifetap support instead of pierce and get pierce either in your boots(be it with hunter rare boots or the unique Voidwalker Murder Boots) or in the passive tree. Hope that answers your question. Fell in love with PoE and now it's my crack.	Posted by Leckarion#5933 on Apr 28, 2021, 3:16:05 PM Quote this Post
" Heya! Thanks for the reply! I just checked your PoB! I'll will start by saying that I greatly discourage using Chain and GMP(Awakened GMP is good though because the extra projectile and double attack speed bonus makes it worth it) Lancing steel because you'll take a really heavy hit to damage and mana cost even though you'll be hitting enemies more widely. I really prefer pierce instead of Chain because it allows you to focus enemies at the back of the mob pack. And by swapping GMP for Vicious projectiles your damage wil greatly increase. Having a lot of extra projectiles is awesome for this build, but you need to balance extra projs with base damage, otherwise you'll simply be a peashotter. Regarding the Offering to the Serpent, you may get one without +1 frenzy and upgrade to one with it afterwards when they become widely available, just try to get one with a good implicit(like attack speed, global phys damage, damage while leeching, life gained for each enemy hit by your attacks or damage) or any implicit that helps that you can find, focus on getting one with the highest attack speed and damage while leeching you can afford if the price is reasonable. Whenever possible try to get upgrades for your jewels(you may use the search I personally use when searching for upgrades https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/RW54reWT7), you could also get a Lord of Steel with impale effect since it will actually increase your damage. You're using Poacher's mark, which is fine if you're having life sustain issues, but Sniper's mark really helps if you can let go of Poacher's mark's great sustain. I also saw that you're using 2 Jade Flasks, swap one of them for a Diamond flask since multiple effects of flasks of the same base don't stack. Try also changing the Mana Flask for a Sulphur Flask if you switch Chain and GMP for Vicious projs and Pierce. You said you have little time to play and 1.2 ex in your stash. So focus on getting an upgrade to your Glyph Grasp Sapphire Ring with more life then get a impale effect Lord of Steel, then ugrade your jewels. If you have enough currency by then, get a Offering to the Serpent and a good Large cluster with no more than 8 passives and at least 2 notables, being 3 notables the ideal, try getting one with at least Feed the Fury and Smite the weak(you can check the best notables on the build guide). Feed the Fury gives you damage and leech, Smite the Weak gives you damage. If you have enough currency after the shopping spree, try getting a Watcher's eye with a nice bonus while affected by Pride(you can also check the guide for reference). Hope that helps! Have fun and enjoy the build! May RNGesus bless your drops! Hey, here I am again with some more troubles I was hoping you could help me out with x) First off, thank you so much for your earlier extensive explanation and advice, it really helped! I found a fair bit of time to play (way more than expected because of easy college projects) so I made more progress than I expected. I feel like I hit a point where upgrades are becoming crazy expensive to the point where I simply don't know what to spend my currency on. T16 maps still are a no-go for my build, so I really feel like I am missing something, but I can't seem to figure out what. I have around 10ex ready to spend and was hoping you could give me some pointers again as to what to upgrade next and focus on later down the line. I currently have precision linked, but don't use it because of mana issues, was thinking of get a -15 mana cost body (as explody chest seems kinda not worth it after the nerf), and maybe - mana cost on rings/amulet. That way I can use precision, but that won't get me to the point of running T16's, and will cost me probably far over 10ex. I am trying to go for the life gain on hit version. This is my current PoB: https://pastebin.com/6TWvFt2R Also, according to PoB, ryslatha's coil will only lower my DPS. Not sure how this is calculated, but I feel like my current attack damage is too low to really benefit from ryslatha's coil. Hope you can point me into the right direction with the build, as I really enjoy it! Thanks for sharing the build!

Oh my lord I just realised what I was missing, i went for life gained on hit on rings but not the hunter ones, i went for the ones that give you +2 life gained on hit and i thought that was it, and wondered where do i get the rest of lgoh, maybe mention this in the guide so other noobs like myself don't get confused.😅	Posted by ningensekai#5811 on Apr 28, 2021, 4:27:26 PM Quote this Post
Why do you have Versatile Stance on your Champion if you don't have Blood and Sand on your gem setup? I'm copying your Champion and I need to know XD Last edited by Mormega#3057 on Apr 28, 2021, 5:58:50 PM	Posted by Mormega#3057 on Apr 28, 2021, 5:57:58 PM Quote this Post

By default all characters are on Blood Stance, so you are affected by the Blood Stance poart of those nodes. The only way to change to sand stance is by having a stance skill(such as Blood and Sand and Flesh and Stone). This passive is basically a 30% free damage increase. Hope that answers your question.

This is actually mentioned thrice in the guide, once in the LGOH variant section, once in the rings part of the gear recommendation section and on the gear progression section of the guide. :/ Hope you manage to get nice rings with t1 LGOH and start to tank more stuff. :) Feel free to ask any questions, buddy.
