Upon reaching lvl 12 and first Merveil's cave we already begin to use our main skill. Try to get a 3L in any other slot but your bow, because we gonna switch to Poisonous Concoction at level 12 and lose the bow while still needing the links.Īlso its a good idea to check for some good shields on your way so you can use it from level 12, and pick up some magic items to vendor them unidentified and get couple extra transmutes for further NPC purchases / bench crafts. G - Dash later being replaced with Smoke Mine GGG - Caustic Arrow + Mirage Archer + Pierce/Void Manipulation

You gonna need friends or a guild to get Flame Dash though, because rangers are prohibited to buy gems that are smarter than them.įinal links/colors we'll need during Act 1: Also adding Flame Dash as your secondary movement ability is highly advised. Smoke Mine (lvl 10, Brutus) - main movement skill, still better than Dash despite all the nerfs.

Vitality (lvl 10, Brutus) - additional Life Regeneration. Steelskin (lvl 4, Rhoa Eggs) bound to LMB will greatly improve survivability during the campaign, specially its bleed removal during skill effect.ĭash (lvl 4, Rhoa Eggs) - our movement skill until lvl 10. Secondary link for additional single target damage is Puncture (lvl 4, Rhoa Eggs) + Pierce in case you manage to find an additional 2L, otherwise just Puncture would be enough. This section describe links and passives allocation order during leveling in acts, so if you respeccing already leveled character using this build, you can skip this part.Īs soon as I enter the town and until lvl 12 I prefer to level with Caustic Arrow, which later is supported by QoL links - Mirage Archer (lvl 4 Flask Quest) and Pierce or Void Manipulation (lvl 8, entering Lower Prison), choice is yours. Their names should make it obvious for when to follow them. You can navigate between different trees in left bottom corner of your PoB. At least you could level 3 more gems there to corrupt/sell them:) Having no weapon also mean 3 less gem sockets, which is pretty bad. Fully automated flasks mean additional investments, specially when your goal is 100% uptime on Dying Sun (eventually it is your goal).Ĥ. Initial setup has alright damage, but survivability mostly comes from further gear upgrades.ģ. But at the same time you have more freedom in dodging while damage is still ticking.Ģ. If you prefer instant damage dealing, it might be not the best build for you. There is always room for upgrade, but switching from poor exile using sticks he found on the ground (which is still performing somewhat good for its cost of none) to actually geared setups is smooth and doesn't require too much currency out of sudden.ġ. Beside all kind of defensive layers, such things as ailments/curses/crits immunity are also making this build very comfortable to play.ħ. Despite we cannot use any weapon, Poisonous Concoction provide enough damage for single target and good clear speed just by its base damage and via life flask, therefore we just have 1 less gear slot to care about.Ħ. Benefits of being a Pathfinder - flasks with permanent uptime, even better now when we don't even need to press them manually.ĥ. Very tanky for a ranger, as much as "able to tank Sirus meteor" level of tanky:)Ĥ. Reaches early red maps with minimal investments.ģ.

Very simple leveling in acts, good for league start as you can easily run through acts without any leveling gear and with minimum gem swaps on the way.Ģ. New mark not worth it imo, cus we relying on multiple small poisons not a one but huge Poison stack and this is still one more curse.ġ) Pros and cons of the build - what you should expect from your character and what you may dislike.ġ. Nerfed Defiance Banner not worth to be used rn, removing it will solve all mana problems in Early-Mid-Late setups.ĥ.
#Path of champions mind meld how to#
Removed Mana Reservation Mastery, how to deal with mana. Build Recive dmg nerf from % increased Duration of Ailments you inflict while Focused helmet craft, but still this is best option, also Poison Duration more valuable now.Ĥ. PoB's Now have redesigned gem section with dropdown menu like skill tree.ģ. All PoB's Updated to 3.19 tree and balance changes, also moved to pob.inn.Ģ.
