[3.13]🏹 Poison Barrage-VF / Scourge Arrow / TR PF | Bottled Fortify | The Tankiest Ranger + High DPS
" Before offering my thought, I'd like to friendly remind how our less damage taken defense works: (this screenshot taken from my video guide) As illustrated in the figure, the damage is mitigated, in this order, by: 1) Physical damage reduction (PDR) for physical damage; elemental/chaos resists for elemental/chaos damage. 2) Less damage taken (LDR), including sources of reduced damage taken. Divine Flesh is an easy and straightforward way to build up your defense against elemental damage. With DF, 50% of incoming elemental damage is taken as chaos damage. So, it's easy to increase your practical elemental resists to 80% with 85-90% chaos resist. This has two problems with our build: 1) It imposes a large opportunity cost that you need to sacrifice in order to obtain Divine Flesh and 85%+ chaos resist. That cost includes 400-500 life, attack speed, chaos dot multi (from the viridian jewel), and 2-3 gems slots. 2) Having DF doesn't improve the overal defense because we have high LDR, which is applied on top of resists. We effectively have around 65-70% less damage taken for each of the elemental damage with the addition of Vinktar, Dying Sun, and Taste of Hate, and even higher if factoring in Immortal Call. Therefore, further 5% elemental resist by the virtue of DF increase will not change the equation. It even reduces the elemental mitigation effectiveness when immortal call is up. Below is some stats taken from the build in previous league. Note: in Harvest, we could easily craft phys damage taken as elemental damage on many gears. I don't think it is the case for Heist, so the actial physical damage taken number will be reduced a bit for this league.

People in previous comments have mentioned that with the alternate quality of withering touch a 4-link on mirage archer would probably be enough to sustain withered stacks. I was wondering what people would suggest to make the most use out of the now freed up 6-link?

Thanks for the build and the details you provide each time. I did not find a section where it is explained or maybe I missed it, I wanted to know the choice of the pantheon which were the best talents to choose. Thank you |

" You can use utility gems here - dash/smoke mine, blood rage, immortal call linked up with duration, second wind and enhance supports. |

<3 your build
killed first sirus a5 finally into the endgame. |

why do we use added chaos damage support in blast rain setup? its not doing much dmg anyway, isnt there a better way to make stacking faster or something like this? i dont know if faster attack works for this?

I've been trying to roll fortify effect on helmets, its real pita to get T1.. Since this mod doesn't have any tag, you can't target it with fossils either. Tried to go with greed essences (for guaranteed life prefix). I hit it once per 50-70 attempts.. and in ~300 didnt hit T1 single time :) good times.

" Sorry for such bad luck. How about alt spam into T1 Fortify and multi-mod adding 70 life and increased ailment while focus? Edit: multi-mod 2 mods not 3.

Or if you are more adventurous: alt spam + aug until T1 Fortify and T4+ Life (~2000 alt as simulated by Craft of Exile). Regal hoping for 2 open suffixes. Then multi-mod adding:
+ Increased ailment duration while focused. + 12% additional physical damage reduction while focused, or: 8% phys damage taken as fire.
