Woot? FP dmg is insanely good. Its coverage isn't very good, yeah. But the ST dmg is top. I've tried dual FP totems lately and it was really good, requires Rain of Splinters though. For leveling there are indeed better spells due to its melee nature (at first) and low AoE.

this build is a good cookie cutter TS build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1041989

I found it to be a bit squishy though. Fine for SC tho. Personally I'm going to try queen of the forest build unless frostwall + lightning arrow gets nerfed. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1696139 Reach of the coucil going to be soooo expensive next league though ><

I'd say with HC it's partially dependent on build, partially dependent on skill. My player skill is pretty meh, mostly because of inexperience, so I lost a bunch of chars to bone headed mistakes, but on my OP chars like max defense Juggernaut, I have essentially no chance of dying unless I stack ele damage mods on a map. If you want to get far in HC there are some builds that can really trivialize content, just depends on how fun you think playing like that / with those builds is

Small note since I just ended up checking it. Prophecy was relatively speaking both crazy active and kinda slow.

If you check the guild profile we had lots of people active last league but at the same time only five people with 36+ challenges completed. Out of the twenty or so that were inactive at least ten are oldschool/people I recall having re-invited not too long ago so we'll skip the whole kicking thing again.

If we need more slots at launch we'll use the last 100 pts we have in guild for +10 slots this round.

Bonus tip for quick leveling at the beginning of a league: Don't play weapon builds unless you're ready to get yelled at by people like Smuft for not doing any damage. Unless you're able to drop good stuff that is.

On a more serious note does anyone know any streamer who played something like a Bowranger in the SSF? I have trouble finding vods for that kind of stuff and it annoys the crap out of me that it cockblocks me so hard at the start of a league.

I'll be playing a weapon build, and not getting dmg nodes forever, so much travel involved. Get ready for a bad ranger and worse weapon totem build to take off Evo. Guess we won't be grouping with Smuft at all.

i think i saw Karv racing ranger before using all the skills you'd expect; shrapnel until ROA + burning arrow for single target -> change to LA once you get enough dmg that it's superior mechanics make it better

not sure when blast rain becomes the better single target over burning arrow

I think bow ranger was under represented in these races cause they don't have the DPS to deal with all these beyond packs and bosses?

It's okay I'll just race you to cruel np.



I think the issue I ran into with bow builds at league start is early on worst case you're just a bit slower than other builds. Fine. But if your drops suck in cruel then A4C becomes really, really rough. I guess mayyyybe traps are a solution to that?

Just to make sure EK or Caustic Arrow are still ass for levelling, right? Those are the only dex skills that come to mind that scale heavily based on gem level and with projectile nodes.

i leveled a blade vortex pathfinder last league as my first character and it was fine with 0 dmg nodes

Spell builds are probably better for self found, weapons require a lot of links to really be good I think.

Do you have anything at all in particular you want to play as? Like ascendancy/spell?
