    Path of Exile 2 - Ranger hardcore

    Reblog

    Decided to give ranger another try in hardcore, maybe now that I somewhat better know what the bosses do I can avoid taking a one-hit KO as has happened in the past.

    I'm following a certain guide at this point, it's quite easy early on but I'm supposed to change to poison attacks in act 2 around level 22.

    Here we're doing act 1 however, just trying to stay alive and killing enemies as fast as possible for that xp and to be ahead of the curve a bit, or at least compared to the guide I'm following as it's not made for hardcore, and the guy keeps dying pretty often in his run, lol.

    Let's hope we can somehow get this ranger to endgame, even tho I've not managed to do that with any class so far. Best has been warrior to almost end of act 4.

    Anyway, here's the gameplay, I edited in all clips as this was recorded with some breaks here and there.

    What level do you think I will die on? First to guess correctly will get 10 hive!

    Forfeiting most of the author rewards as I didn't do any commentary here, just gameplay.

      No, you still get 1 shot even if you have the perfect build. It's one of the things that makes the game so frustratingly delightful. It's worse once you get to endgame because then you lose xp when you die too. I've had some characters where I have been the same level for like a month because I come close to leveling, then I die five times.

          Only once you get to endgame and start running maps. I have a level 87 Stormweaver cold spark mage that I am having some fun with right now.

          I think you will get to level 56.

            You overestimate my skills sir!

            man, would be nice to get to endgame eventually, maybe I should just focus on mastering the warrior that I have most xp with

              I've never played the warrior, so I don't know too much about that. Lightning arrow pathfinder is a pretty easy play.

          Good luck avoiding the pain, poisons make Act 2 brutal but way more satisfying once you adapt. Hope your boss fights go smoother!
