3. Ranger Walkthrough.
4. For Skills and Items check associated Section.

7. Prioritize Links over Affixes early on (still to Act 5) except for Movement Speed on Boots.
8. Allways upgrade Life- and Mana Flask.
9. On Act 6 you should be focused on 75% to all Elemental Resistance (Fire/Cold/Lightning) in fact you lose -30% for the first time you kill Kitava.
10. Use Essence on every single Gearslot if you have a decent Weapon.
11. Pick every Unique up you find through the Acts, because you get Alchemy Shards from it which is very good.
12. Curse strong Rare Enemies and Bosses.
13. If you're lack of Mana you can pick "Mana and Flask Effect"-Node instead of "Heart of Oak". It will save you 3 Skillpoints.
14. If you have Mana problems, you can either lower your Precision (with Precision + Orb of Scouring) or/and look for "Enduring" Mana potion.
15. Do not ID all the Items you find, because we need Transmutation- and Alteration-Shards. ID stuff only, when it became viable for an upgrade!
