I'm loving the build and the guide! One question though, I'm running tight on mana regen, what are you using to supplement that

Hi @gmandonan (OP)

I'm totally fascinated by your MF Ranger build

I was just wondering if it's worth the time to play with a Ranger

I'm a returning player on Standard - found that my IIQ gems were worth some exalts, geared my highest level character (Level 80 Witch).

After playing for a while - I felt kind of squishy playing my L80 SRS witch... And was thinking of gearing a Ranger for a MF build for fun

I only have about 7exa to play (and to make a build based on your guide)

Would you think it's worth it?

If so - How should I spend my 7exa on gear?

Thanks in advance :)

(My character tab should be public)

You have a lv 66 ranger in standard you can use it on though since it is a relatively low level it will have a lot less life, that can be remedied by just levelling. I would recommend spending around an exalt on each ventors gamble ring to make sure you get high increased quantity and ok resistances (with high life if you can). You have a tempest's binding on your necromancer which you can use as a suppliment for a 6link for your clear skill. a 5link for either your queen of the forest (make sure to get at least a 330% increased evasion roll) or windripper should be fine. I would then buy a dying sun flask. I would then buy a pair of goldwyrms, giving high IIQ and fire resistance and then get the rest of the resistances you need and some life on your gloves, jewels, quiver (preferrably with the shaper "bow attacks fire an additional arrow" mod) and amulet. You should use the perandus blazon you're using on your necromancer to help with the intelligence issues the build experiences to make it easier to gear and give some IIQ. I would use an "omen on the winds" jewel and ice shot as your clear skill because that means you dont have to buy rigwald's quills quiver. I am not sure as to whether this fits entirely within your budget due to the variance in pricing of rare items but this should be close enough. I love the build and would say its worth it if you're willing to work through the inital squishiness brought about by your ranger character being such a low level.

Thanks for your super fast reply gmandonnan :D

Looking forward to testing this out later today.

Definitely going to try and level the ranger and get some MF runs going.. hopefully it won't be a problem doing the gaming content up to Maps haha

What do you think about the recent discussions on the limited effects of IIQ? If IIQ doesn't really have an impact (e.g. no impact on drop rate of maps)... is there a point in gearing for IIQ?

Seems like I'm paying a lot just for IIQ when I'm not sure the return on payout is worth it...

just curious why do we not go deadeye? i read through most of the pages on here and was just curious. it seems we would get more dmg and survivability from it? i might be wrong, but just curious.

Deadeye is slower, the very small dps upgrade doesnt really matter since why would I go for the worse feeling ascendancy, the elemental ailment immunity and dodge from raider makes it the more survivable ascendancy by far since the only major survivability bonus deadeyes have is +1000 evasion during tailwind which is outclassed by all the other evasion, speed and dodge benefits provided by raider.
