Might as well exalt it as you can only roll prefixes now.
You can exalt it twice for a chance of rolling weapon elemental damage.

check out the mods it can roll, 1 out of 6 chances to get weapon elemental damage would make that belt really good.

Current that belt is probably worth about 4+ exalted or more

oh can add me to the list too : Slythape

been doing some maps with ngau, i'm usually online at night, feel free to add me if you want to do maps with me(sometimes group could be full)

default btw

i leveled my marauder from 60+ to 68 at city of sarn, much better than docks, imo.

Just take waypoint, gather lots of mobs, aoe them down, head to next pack, do the same, avoid the unique boss, zone out, zone back in.

Each clear takes about 3-5 minutes and nets you 5-10% exp, pretty fast

Well, fellshrine has lots of stupid archer mobs and too spread out, ledge is still pretty ok but you want to kill higher monster levels because of more exp and better ilvl loots, also you could try out each place for about 2-3 runs, take the time and exp gain and see which runs are the best for you.

I tried leveling at fellshrine but it was pretty shit for me because of cold resist monsters.

Ledge was pretty good exp and I skip the totem boss because I was using poison arrow at that time, so no dps at all. Still prefer city of sarn tho, I didn't do docks because I was using item quantity rings and did not have the resist to fight the fire dogs.

Then city of sarn is the best bet, I think its mob level 61, so 1 level below docks, so it is all good.

Good exp and items

Not lucky enough to get a mirror, although it took me about 150 fusings to 5L my chest and then 120 chromatics to get the colours I wanted, not to mention like 200+ jewelers to 6 socket the same chest, oh well.

Yeah, especially if you want specific colours on something that is just pure stat, 6 red socket rolls everywhere.

Damn that's unlucky, at least chromatics is not too expensive.

time to unload my fusings I bought when I was trying to 5L! Got like 100+ spare, maybe can get a little more than 2:1 ratio keke

His gear is very nice, but I'm sure he still get raped by any reflect damage mobs since he's physical without much lifeleech. he says he has only 3.7k/3.9k health? thats really low

<wall of text>


Basically when I was still playing my Physical Ranger, the only life leech I have from my gear is sometimes my belt with 2% lifeleech and a quiver with 2% lifeleech at all times.

Reflect physical damage will rape my ranger real hard especially physical ones, the reason why is when I use my split arrow, I think it was 3.5k dps or 2.5k dps before frenzy and split arrow can hit up to 7(?) targets without LMP/GMP/Chain/Fork.

I had increased critical damage on my split arrow plus faster attacks and my crit chance was around 70% and my crit multiplier was 700%. So if half of my split arrow hits a target and crits, I would take shit ton of damage if I do not use my granite flask (I have 10k armour with grace on and no determination). So basically each reflect pack I need to use a granite flask with increased armour on use. And even with that on, as you know life leech only leeches up to 20% of your max health or something like that, and I do not gem for it so theres no faster leech rate unlike Life Gain on Hit which is instant heal.

For reflect elemental damage, I was running with LA archers that were running Anger and Wrath, and I was running Hatred too(physical damage converted to cold damage), also I was using Added Fire Damage support gem too, which adds a % of my physical damage as fire. I had lots of physical damage and elemental damage(about almost 9k dps with frenzy(5.3 attacks per second) and 4.5k with split arrow). Even with max resists (75) I still take so much elemental reflect damage as I did not spec into 5% extra elemental resistance.

Another reason is some map mods that are pretty shitty for a physical ranger, chaos damage(I don't have any life regen, although this is a very small problem), 50% slow regen rate(I use mana and mana leech with quality on my frenzy and I still cant keep spamming it with 50% slower regen), any reflect mods. Pretty much lots of trouble with any map mods.

Another reason is that my accuracy is pretty bad if I do not take any gear with accuracy as I did not waste points into accuracy nodes(I think at level 83 I had 70% chance to hit mobs). So this hindered my dps too.

Biggest reason is synergy with my group, as you played with me, all of my friends are LA archers rofl, having a physical ranger was pretty pointless as I gave the group haste and hatred(not really needed for an LA archer) and using conduit gloves to share frenzy, which now one of my friend does.

High dps but can't sustain in 50% slower recovery

Cheaper and better to make a freezing pulse marauder!

Gotta get really lucky with drops or gamble to 5L or 6L stuff and sell them, or buy lots of scouring and chances and try for a kaom's heart of lionseye glare.

Some people use the "exploit" of multi-boxing and farming normal vaal with high IIR and IIQ gear with a full party to get un-id rares for 2 chaos orb recipe, which GGG is fixing.

Ah, since we can post shops, this is my link:

Just pm me if you want stuff from there although I have no time to update it yet, just state that you're from LYN.


I might want to roll a melee duelist when the new buffs come out, might be fun although I don't have much time to level except for weekends.

Yeah, looks like it

my friend just tested the new LA, he said it's way less laggy!

now groups won't lag that bad anymore, hopefully

The starting area of duelist is better than the ranger starting area, so yeah, going the duelist LA ranger way is better since you don't need to pick up the worse passives at ranger.

Also my ranger got a full respec, 101 points to spend! Thinking of making a melee ranger for fun since I sold most of my gear, lol

You ran with my friend before Ngau, Mistick or whatever his name is.

His dps is crazy, like 7k+ with LMP freezing pulse without the best gear.

Just that he's suicidal and kills himself on reflect packs even when I tell him on skype its reflect elemental, lol.

Too bad I don't have enough time to level my EK witch, too busy with HotS! Hopefully we can do higher level maps when my friends come online.

He was using the lifeleech to ES keystone then he took it out because he wanted more dps lol. But vaal pact is really far away for his build atm I think. Now all my friends are either busy playing SimCity or HotS. Very hard to get people to do high level maps now. Talking about broke, used a lot of chaos to get good mods for maps is pretty pain

20% freezing pulse I think is one of the most expensive 20% you can get, I think I spent about 11 GCP to get it luckily.

Also, you could ask a friend to list an item on the RMAH for how much you have if you want to "withdraw". Basically you buy it from him, then he sends you the money through paypal, or just withdraw from paypal and buy from the local sellers, pretty cheap too
