PoE Ranger, SSF, Mapping builds

Been trying to build a Storm Brand Raider for HCSSF because of the following synergies: - Onslaught gives MS and damage - Frenzy Charges double dip with More Damage and Cast Speed - Easy acces to Spell Suppression & Elemental Ailment Avoidance - Can path through Armour and Evasion nodes on my way to the Brand Nodes - Can path to a lot of Mana Reservation Efficiency However I seem to hit a ceiling in both damage and survivability. Especially Damage. I'm looking for a secondary skill that could boost single target, but I don't see it. Tried Lightning Spire

Gems Needed A1 - Elemental Hit x2, Steelskin, Onslaught, Dash A2 - Trinity x2, Elemental Damage with Attacks x2, Increased Critical Damage Support x2, Summon Skitterbots, Power Charge on Crit A3 - Grace, Second Wind, Sniper's Mark, Inspiration (Library) A4 - Chain, Barrage, Mark on Hit A6 - Hydrosphere, Elemental Weakness Flame Golem

I've been PoBing this build for a couple of weeks now and I think I've got a pretty decently optimized league starter tree+gear. 4 million pinnacle DPS with easily obtainable rares and no PoB warrior BS. No flasks except rotgut, nothing ticked that shouldn't be, etc, no additional curse, no influenced gear except a life % hunter belt. Fork socketed into 6 link. Ballistas turned off, guard skill turned off. Far shot estimated at 40 projectile travel distance instead of 60 (at 60 DPS shoots up to 5.5 million) With single target gem

pob : This is a theoretical build specced towards non juiced non uber uber content and being a safe, comfy, fast map clearer. It can probably do all the normal content fine, except maybe Sirus will be slow because of the arena size and how spark DPS works. All the gear used is around the level of near late game SSF and can reach higher DPSwith more minmaxing of gear. However, I would not recommend starting this because it won't become fully online until some vital pieces of gear that deal with mana issues. Defensive Features: Capped Evasion with Wind Dancer

Hi all, dropped Farrul's Fur and Omniscience in SSF, want to make a flicker build for mapping with these 2. However, since I do not have Paradoxica and Forbidden Shako, I'm trying to theorycraft a claw (Nightblade elusive scaling) version of flicker strike. Need some advice on some gearing choices here: \- Do i still go Ice Bite even without paradoxica/ forbidden shako? I'm thinking of crafting fire + lightning claw then putting in ice bite for cold damage \- Raider? or Slayer? or Champion? I'm leaning towards Raider/Champ since I don't have replica farruls \- Call of the void + Winterweav

10 Days ago or so I posted my White Wind Deadeye Starter, now I thought it would be nice to give an Endgame update and some thoughts. Levelling: Had a late start (sunday morning), bought some leveling weapons for the random currency I dropped, helped me clear campaign in 4:30, nothing special but Helix is top tier for going fast. Mapping: White Wind+5L, Capped Res, Capped Suppression and basic Defiance Banner+grace+determination setup was enough to clear exarch and eater questline, swapped to 6l and better jewelry once progression started to slow down in high red maps. Bossing: Everything I

For anyone who wants a more hipster build that isn't DD, seismic, EA, RF, or any of the other really strong meta builds but also doesn't want some straight garbage, I present to you my 3.18 HCSSF league start. This build is designed for the HCSSF environment. I have no idea how it is in SC trade. Probably worse because it's not as zoomy and has too much invested in defenses. Pros: \-Very easy to achieve high single target DPS \-No uniques needed for boss kills \-Can clear maps from extremely long range \-Excels in narrow corridor type maps \-Fairly tanky - runs determination,

Quick Showcase: Gear, Tree, Minotaur map Main POB: Pob of the test run: I've been wanting to move to SSFHC and complete all the content with my own build. I love casting spells, but it's always a struggle league starting them due to how hard it is to obtain cast speed on gear. So I looked into trappers/miners. Icespear deadeye miner turned out pretty good. The video is with pretty much bare minimum gear. I've been busy with work, so I couldn't go hard in farming for harvest and essences. But t
