So i picked this build to play in flashback because i wanted a fast mapper with decent bossing capacity. However i just reached red maps and im starting to experience survival and damage issues. The only thing ive skipped is phase acro because to me it looked like a weak investment of 4 points. I have 4.7k life, res capped, 15k evasion i think? Maybe its easier to look at my profile. Any idea what ive messed up? Or is it just a matter of getting better rares?

Hello OP

I reached lvl 81 with this build and now Im planning to spend currency and points properly. I have few questions though.

1. Is Point blank not good for the build?

2. Is it OK to replace Hypothermia with Added Cold Damage gem for boss fights?

3. If player is using Lycosidae, is it better to use Lightning Golem instead of Ice golem ?

4. Talking about Lycosidae, how about using stat stick for huge DPS boost? Because as a ranger we will be getting enough dex to get above 90% accuracy.

5. Are foils good enough to match DPS of that a claw? Coz right now the good rare claws are very expensive. And I found a good foil which is doing work for now.

Thats all for now, thanks !!

1. It is not good at all.

2. No it's not. Bosses can be perma chilled now, so hypo's dmg boost always applies, making it a lot better than added cold.

3. Use lightning golem

4.I mean lyco adds block chance/survivability as well which is nice. Unfortunately frostblades works with any melee weapon so we can't just use a sceptre. So if you wanna go find an affordable and good statstick wand or something, you can. But maybe do that last, since we have a fair amount of flat cold dmg stat sticks don't add as much dps as you'd like. Honestly though, this build isn't lacking dmg, I prefer the lyco.

5. You can use that weapon for now i guess. The reason we go claw is because we can pick up the Claws of the magpie and Soul raker nodes, which are very powerful and efficient. Meaning if your playing ranger your always kinda stuck with claws for a really efficient tree. Their also fast which is nice.

I think you might be better off dropping your foil for a blood seeker claw, then you can drop the vitality void leech nodes and get the claws nodes i mentioned. Check it in PoB.

Thanks for your detailed reply. Will get the claw, I do have some points left to be allocated, which I spent here and there casually.
One more question: Which is better?
Belt of deceiver + rare dps / resis Gloves
OR
Abyssal gloves with stygian belt?

With the items you mentioned im 100% sure it was a mistake picking this build for flashback :P

In order to get resist capped with a respectable life pool of 4.5k+ we're looking at exalted gear on every slot with the items you mentioned. I really didnt think that would be necessary to do red maps. Guardians and shaper, sure, but for red maps?

Ok I im using the 1 jewel Abyssal gloves now.

But what do you think about Shaper Touch gloves ? We lose the intimidation but we do get loads of HP and melee physical damage coz of dex.
