From gigantic evil statues to wolf-man hybrids, no enemy is too strong for theRangerinPath of Exile 2.
Although playing a class like this may sound daunting, we’ve got you covered.
First,Lightning Rod.
You want to use it to place as many arrows as possible on the ground.
Next, you want to fireLightning Arrowsat enemies close to the arrows on the ground.
By doing so, you create a deadly area where enemies will take dozens of hits in sequence.
You also want tolure enemiesto where you place the rods.
This is the core rotation for this build.
In boss fights, you want to always cast theElectrocuting Arrowto create burst windows.
As mentioned, by using it and adding support skills such asScattershotyou cover the arena with electrical arrows.
The reaction between these two abilities makes them a deadly combination.
To complement your rotation, you want to unlock two other abilities.
One is theElectrocuting Arrow.
This arrow stays on the enemy for a while and you might charge it with Lightning attacks.
Eventually, the enemy is electrocuted and immobilized for a few seconds.
With our main skill rotation out of the way, we can talk about secondary and utility abilities.
BothToxic GrowthandGas Arroware solid options to have as secondary damage sources.
They inflict a damage-over-time effect on enemies, slowly reducing their lives.
A little bit further into the tree, you want to look for nodes such asShock EffectandFrazzled.
Both increase the magnitude of Shock, which means that enemies take more damage from this effect.
On a more general note, it is important to spend passive skill points onevasionandelemental resistanceslater in the game.
These two rolls boost your overall damage which is unquestionably good for any build.
In general, you might prioritize the same rolls that we stipulated for the bow.
More Physical Damage and Lightning Damage is not a bad idea.
Later in the game, survivability becomes an important topic to be worried about.
Besides having gear that increases your life, you want to haveElemental Resistancesin them as well.
So you better pump all elemental resistances.
Another attribute that affects your chances of surviving isincreased Movement Speed.
Being fast enough to escape from mechanics is key to staying alive.
The chances of finding them are, however, low.
But we can still run common ones as long as they offer good bonuses for our build.
Like with other pieces of equipment, you want to run rings and amulets that increaseMaximum LifeandElemental Resistances.
These are basic defensive rolls that you won’t regret investing in.
As you go through the game, you may want to add to this list items with theMana Regenerationbonus.
A quick and potent healing helps get you back on your feet.
Good luck playing as a Ranger in Path of Exile 2!
