Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2

Im stuck at level 30
playing lightning ranger build and I am getting wrecked both by

- ascendancy trial final boss. i would have him if Honor didnt like deplete over time. im going in with 300+, not taking any boss damage, and losing it faster than I can kill him

- Act 2 questlines, zone monster level is like 28 and they just kill me so fast.

my build is fine. debating taking 7-10 points out to respec into energy shield since i have none.

its like my armor ratings are just not keeping up and the game isnt giving my alternatives for defense.

maybe i just gotta reroll into something more tanky?

- Honor didn't deplete over time, double check if you didn't pay attention on boss ground attack or something like that
- that is how ranger design high dps, low hp

because max hp node is remove from passive tree so you should focus looking for gear with hp increase
what are the ez mode classes? maybe witch?

I hope Templar drops soon

Use relics with Honor resist and max honor stats.

Honor doesn't deplete over time, you took damage, or got a debuff that removed some.

ranger doesn't use armor rating, they use evasion, so higher chance for attack to miss but it still means dodge and don't get hit.

basic rule, look at the ground and don't stand in stupid.

same rule I've used for WoW and Destiny 2, just don't stand in stupid lol

You're a ranger with a bow, why are you getting close enough to the boss to get hit?

So many exploits out there you could use. There's a God Mode glitch that is pretty cool, only lasts so long though.

You need more offense, then. You should be killing things before they even get close.

With ranger I never liked a pure evasion build, to much RNG. Evasion/Energy shield is nice to smooth out the unlucky hits imo. But yes.. lightning ranger does some crazy damage with just one skill.. you need a better bow.. adding in things like gas arrow or other DoT and CC ability's can help in the mean time. I would check the vendors.. maybe gamble or trade some bows.

These two statements are contradictory - if your build was "fine" you wouldn't be getting wrecked.

This game punish you for being static, always be on the move.

Honor loss over time?
What?
You are talking of act 2, there is no over time loss of honor in that first ascendancy fight

Step out of the fire
