Hi, i was wondering, you reckomend both the Raider and the Pathfinder ascendency Classes, but how would you place the ascendency points in these? This is my first char, so i am a little lost there😊
Have followed your guide so far..

Use Raider for your first character. Pathfinder is very powerful but imho not the best choice for a new player.

I agree use Raider first, but like Kape220682 I am not sure which points to put into first? Which order would you recommend placing points in first for the raider class?

Thanks!!

Your first 6 points should be fairly easy to obtain. It shouldn't more than a 10 hours to get from lvl 1 -> 70 and get all 6 points so the order you pick them up doesn't matter much tbh. I prefer Way of the Poacher for my very first 2 points for leveling just because it's a nice dmg boost.

If you are mainly doing physical damage (no physical -> elemental conversion) I would go for Avatar of the Slaughter and Rapid Assault with your first 6 points.

If you are mainly doing elemental damage (either through conversion or just scaling of flat elemental dmg) you have two options:

1) Avatar of the Slaughter + Quartz Infusion.

or

2) Avatar of the Veil + Way of the Poacher.

I personally prefer the second because it gives you better movement speed, some dmg (allthough not quite as much as the first option) and immunity to freeze and shock. The first option is a bit stronger when it comes to damage :)

"

2) Poison scales of physical / chaos dmg. You are mainly doing elemental damage which means your gloves are useless. Get a new pair. Gripped Gloves (with projectile dmg implicit) and some nice rolls would be a nice upgrade.

3) Get a new pair of boots UNLESS you get a lot of resists on your gloves. I suggest looking for a new rare pair of boots with movement speed (25%+), life and resists.

Would Rares be better than the other Unique options available? Maligaros and Shadows and Dust?

and is it worth giving up the Spell dodge?

"

4) Amulet, Rings and Jewels.

the problem im having here is the massive lightning resist requirement to replace rings
and the 50+ int requirement from amulet
:(

I have no jewel sockets atm as i continue to level ill grab a few

I will try out barrage. so far every other ST skill seems weaker than TS

Im using HoA with AM 4 linked to a LA. would it be better to have AM linked to HoI?

Ill grab point blank next level :D was curious about that but you just convinced me haha

and time to look for a Signal fire. without drillneck i wouldnt be using the pierce cluster or gem correct? Altho looking at the price i could get a drillneck with +1 but not a signal

What do you link to barrage?

All good and very helpful thank you so much

Rare gloves with attack speed, life, double resist is nice choice

HoA doesn't spread curses.Use HoI or HoT instead.

I wouldn't recommend taking it since it requires being close to boss to deal additional damage and thus oneshot is more possible. Also offscreen clearing loses some speed.But you are free to try it.

No need in pierce cluster if you get a signal fire.

Very nice guide. I'm thinking of trying it in Standard with Legacy ends.

Hey,

could someone please add a new Version of the Windripper Skilltree?
I would like to try it for maybe a starte Build in 3.0.

Thank u :-)

Guys.. i've just started to play this game 2 weeks ago and i've choose to play this character.
This is my current build/gear:



Is there something to upgrade? I'm doing good or totally wrong?
I'm Lv. 80

I'm now lvl 74, my area damage is ok but my single dps is crap and I get one shot all the time...

Can I get some advices please



Thanks !

Hi Shinro,

A few things that you could look into.

You are using a drillneck which increases damage based upon pierce chance but then you don't use the pierce support gem in your LA setup or take pierce nodes on the tree. Consider swapping the drillneck for a signal fire and look to scale lots of weapon ele damage or change it for a good rare quiver with lots of crit and crit multi.

With regards to your skilltree consider speccing out of heavy draw and not getting the 2 4% life nodes below Thick skin. Just route from the top and grab one 4% and then the 10% node. Get the 4%'s last if not at all. You haven't gone into the herbalist cluster which would be an extra 20% life for 3 points. Primevil force is a brilliant cluster if you are scaling weapon ele damage at all. I would go into that along the top of it. Grab golems blood when you can along with the 2 point jewels. Consider arrow dancing as you have fully specced into acrobatics. Apsect of the Eagle tends to be an efficient 2 pointer.

A lot of damage comes from flasks. Look to get a diamond flask to hopefully get you close to the crit cap if you are not there now. An Atziri's Promise is a great cheap flask as it gives you DPS and some life leech for survival. A vinktars flask will give you a lot of extra damage and insane life leech. Try to get one that adds lightning damage to attacks or has lighning penetration. The leach from vinktars is so insane you are basically immortal providing you are not one-shot or stunned. You shouldn't need a mana flask as you have a fair amount of mana leech. Consider getting a basalt flask or jade flask to boost defenses if you still need to.

For single target try to get a 5-link up and running. Consider a barrage setup. It is definitely the best single target damage skill for bows with the disadvantage that it works best when you are close to the target. For bosses ideally try to have vinktars and atziri's up so you can leech through any damage you take.

If you are not resist capped at merciless GET RESIST CAPPED!

Be careful what map mods you roll. -max resistances will wreck you. Elemental weakness and damage mods can also increase one-shots if you are not over capped on your resistances.

Lastly if you are not using Path of Building give it a go and import your character into it. It will let you simulate gear upgrades. Tells you what your dps increase or decrease will be by changing passives on your tree for all your different skills. Let you change skill gems around so you can see what setups work best. In short it allows you to play around with your build to maximise it without having to blow any ccy ingame. It's really good!!!!!
