Elemental Buzzsaw & Static Strike - Solo the entire game, quickly and cheaply 1.1.0 update
" I'm far from an expert in this build, but a few things stand out. First, your weapon is really slow. this build relies on a speedy weapon. I was able to craft this weapon for my first character using this build for less than 20 alteration orbs and a regal.
Spoiler
you should be able to make something similar from stuff on the ground. Basically find a fast weapon - any level appropriate weapon with a base speed of 1.65 or better will do, transmute it and alt it until you get a good weapon speed. then augment it and hope for elemental weapon damage of some sort, if you get that, you can stop there or regal it if you have one and hope for some more damage mods. I think a faster weapon ( by which I mean an APS of approx 1.95-2 or better) will help you feel more comfortable with this build. there are a number of good crafting guides around to help with this process. secondly, I never used a life leech gem. instead I used Life gain on hit. the results were fairly consistent, with the changes to leech in the recent patch, you might try in and see if it gives better results. (full disclosure - I never got to higher level maps before the last league ended - for higher level content life leech seems the prefered gem) Finally, I see you are starting as a ranger. I started as a scion and was able to get resolute technique pretty early. that helped with the life leech since missing wasn't a concern. I wasn't spending life on misses. If your accuracy isn't that great you might consider that some of your squishiness comes from missed shots. improving your accuracy or respecing for RT might also help. (it is kind of far for a ranger though) Hope this helps. We are the people our parents warned us about...

" It's a glass cannon. If you have issues with lag or framerates, or you are not fast and agile enough (it's a twitchy playstyle), you'll probably get killed. It's one of my problems with the build, but that's because off my machine and because I know I'm not really good at very fast paced, precise playstyles. Like Mathil says in the first post, if you're "shit at the game", this build will not magically change that. It's pretty blunt, but it's certainly true for this build. I found groups super easy, but exiles and act bosses to be a bit of a pain. | |

Thanks for the advice guys.
I bought a 1.92 aps weapon that I can use in 2 levels. At that time I will also have Resolute Technique. Farming docks until then and leveling Temporal Chains. Will try Scepter after and... *fingers crossed* @Mivo Don't get me wrong, I am not dying. It's just that I have to make town trips a LOT just to refresh my potions. And I also have no idea how I would be able to beat some affixes, like Corrupting Blood. ~ Comfortably Numb

" Most of your dps will come from buffing the hell out of Anger and Wrath auras (ele dmg passives/support, ele dmg with weapons on belt/amu, aura effect passives etc) and getting the fastest sword possible (2.0aps+). Flat ele damage on your weapon is nice, but not a must-have imo. Look at Mathil's current sword on Ambush, barely past 100edps and he does just fine. |

Congrats on the Aztiri kill Mathil! :)
This is one helluva build |

" exactly you have to keep yourself alive by avoiding to get hit... its not a tank build at all besides the 6k life... but since stuff can hit for way more than that... its your fault if you die not the builds... if you want to play a build that keeps you alive, go aegis or go home "Path of nurfs" - LVL 100 + LVL 100 + LVL 100 ENDGAME REAVER

just a few questions:
Why are you going resolute tech when accuracy is already being increased from dex and the nodes? Also, I does inner force increase the effect of auras? |
|
" On my level 88 Standard Scion, with accuracy on a few items and using this build, I only have 80 or 81% chance to hit. My dps went up over 2k by adding RT. Yes Inner Force increases effect of auras. Mathil has 94% increased effect of his auras. Grats Mathil. No doubt, the #1 build in POE. No other build could pull that kill off with such "Crapy" gear.
