How important EHP is if increasing it does not affect the maximum hit you can take? Like Aspect of Stone anoint would increase EHP by 26% but the maximum hit I can take stays the same (22k). Thanks.

Suburban Dad posted:New player and general dummy here. Doing maps and I'm around level 85 but keep dying since I'm a squishy bow ranger so I'm not really gaining exp anymore. I'm only doing rare maps unless I find blue ones. Should I be trying lower tier blues instead? I think I've cleared up to about t7 maps at this point. euphronius posted:Post you are build https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Larrymer/characters Following this as a guide. I know my chaos resist is poo poo. Gloves I have no idea what stats are important outside of life and resists (how much does attack speed matter? Not sure what I should be looking for). Same for boots, just been looking for high move speed, resists and life. Also feel like my jewelry is not that good. Just found the Volley Fire jewel but not sure if it's actually better than others I was using previously since I'm using it as single target. I'm not doing much crafting or trading (just buying cheap poo poo from the build, not really selling) so if there's something decent that would be a big upgrade, please by all means shed some light.

Your build is reliant on that leech, so you'll want to find another way to get the curse on enemies. Best way is probably going to be getting a ring that applies it on attacks. something like one of these: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/prlEMbet0 Since that set of gems isn't doing anything for you anyway, I'd change it to a CWDT setup with steelskin or whatever flavor of damage mitigation you want on there.

Suburban Dad posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Larrymer/characters There have to be better bows than windripper. Windripper is basically a meme bow for people stacking item quantity. To expand on the cast on critical mention: cast on critical only triggers when a supported skill deals a crit. So if you want to use it you would link it with another copy of barrage so you have a button that does no damage but applies those debuffs. Looking at that guide the reason for the (pretty bad) shroud of the lightless is that the build STACKS abyss jewels. If you're not stacking tons and tons of abyss jewels you're not getting the flat added damage to make windripper deal damage and you're not getting the pile of life to make up for such low life items. Your boots also have dead supports because herald of ash is not an attack skill and inspiration only lowers mana costs, not reservation. Enlighten support is the only support gem that lowers mana reservation. That's all I've got while phone posting at work. One tip is when you hover a support gem in your inventory it pops a list of your equipped active gems and gives a check or an x to show if they can support that gem. All gems have tags like spell, attack, bow, etc. And all supports tell you what types of gems they support.

Over the course of playing the game I have gotten more exalts from inside Mao Kuns than outside. Like 1/3 or so Mao Kun have dropped me a raw exalt. I'm afraid to buy a pile and run them on purpose because I might ruin the magic. Speaking of exalts, I feel like I have to quit this league because Divergent Determination is the single most important thing I need for my aurabot and they're 11 ex when they were 3 last league (before they were nerfed 80%). I have a couple of those double or nothing Div card harvests, maybe I should buy the most expensive card I can and try to do the Run Lola Run casino scene?

I am not a Deadeye expert but that build does not look like something I would recommend a newer player start out a league with. Bad, or at least misadvertised, forums guides are a horrible blight on the new player experience.

Suburban Dad posted:https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Larrymer/characters One bit of low-hanging fruit: Fix your flasks. You should only have one life flask, probably a Seething/Panicked Divine Life Flask of Staunching. Replace your other life flask with an Experimenter's Diamond Flask of Warding. Pro move would be to balance your resists and get a Wise Oak, but that's super not-important right now. Also consider keeping an Amethyst Flask of Curing in reserve for when poison heavy mobs will be prevalent.

Note the part where the guy said his current gear is a 50ex investment. It doesn't even look very good for 50ex. Honestly your best bet is to scrap it and start over. You can get a bunch of cheap stuff that makes levelling a breeze (tabula, goldrim) and get a new character to maps in like a day or two. I'd suggest picking something not ranger because rangers always fall into two categories : completely reliant on avoidance so eventually your luck runs out and you splat, or is a Pathfinder so you spend the entire game jamming your flask buttons and then your hand falls off.

hawowanlawow posted:yes, but why Rolling maps to avoid bad mods is an intentional currency sink. hawowanlawow posted:running maps unIDEd owns, that's why reflect sucks rear end pretty much every single aspect of PoE content is designed around the principle that higher risk = higher reward. a mirror to this is that player choice can reduce meaningful risks. having reflect damage be a real danger that some builds can circumvent is what actually opens up build options. picking an elementalist or dot or chaos build that can ignore reflect damage is a meaningful player build choice. if nobody has to worry about reflect damage then it nobody is thinking about it and making choices about it. players who choose to play builds vulnerable to reflect can simply avail themselves of the many methods to deal with reflect damage, such as itemization, rerolling maps, or watchstones.

Man, thanks to this thread today I loving learned that Zana missions can have "Do the Harvest" as a completion. I've spent the whole league just using her to look for Haewark maps to run to try to spawn them. I'm so bad at this game.

They do not, but if she offers a Harvest map then that is exactly one more guaranteed Harvest map than you have now.

You can get something crazy like 20 map choices per mission, and get a lot of missions fast. Some people were doing Vaults of Atziri rotas just to bank up extra zana missions as its the fastest map to complete.

Thanks for the advice everybody. This is already my 2nd dude this league after starting SSF and not using a guide  so I don't really want to do all that poo poo again. I hate doing the campaign and though it did go faster the 2nd time, it still sucks. I wanted to be a shooty bow man but not jam the keys for flasks every 5 seconds. Feels real bad.If I do decide to start over, what's a good and cheap build for a newish player? I kinda like the idea of a cyclone build or something else that can do damage while moving.

One other benefit of Zana missions is that using a Zana mission resets her inventory. And you can occasionally get some pretty nice things in there - I bought a Cortex from Zana for 10c earlier this league.

If you want a ranger, then toxic rain pathfinder works quite well. I'm running into similar survivability issues with rangers, though. I'm level 87 for my Ice Spear deadeye and the damage is fine, but I'm only on 4k life 48% evasion/43% dodge and a mistwall, so I'm going splat easily in t12/t13 maps if I'm off the ball for a moment. Pastebin here - resists aren't max because I'm upgrading gear at the moment, but that's not the issue. Nothingtoseehere fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Feb 10, 2021 |

Did you guys skip over this?Suburban Dad posted:I wanted to be a shooty bow man but not jam the keys for flasks every 5 seconds. Feels real bad That being said, if you go back a couple pages, there are people talking about using flask macros. I personally wouldn't use one since I prefer to have exact control over when my flasks pop off, but I'm certainly not going to say others can't use them.

I just had an amazing trade interaction. I was selling a gem for 1 exalt, and a guy messaged me asking me to take the 80 chaos instead. Current rate is 97 chaos, plus my gem was the cheapest on the market (by about .3 exalt) because I'm trying to make some fast cash for upgrades. I told him I needed the exalt, and invited him, assuming he would come if he had the exalt to pay. He tells me 'buy it'. I leave my map, not optimistic, and sure enough he tries to give me 80 chaos. So I cancel, kick him, and head back to my map. He begins messaging me in Portuguese, and I just got a chance to translate it: "Are you the son of a repairman?! Make me leave my map just to see your dry rear end!?!!" Sold it three minutes later to someone else.

Use all your harvest rerolls, even for mods you don't want. That caster scepter i posted earlier? Got the base rolls from an attack reroll.
