Path of Exile Dual Wield Sword Ranger Build

 Path of Exile Dual Wield Sword Ranger Build by Ler


I GIVE FULL CREDITS TO REGNAR AND CETO FOR INVENTING THIS BUILD.


Since so many people asked for a full list of gems, gear and level builds, I gathered all the information in the old thread and from my own experience playing this build.

At the moment, I play this build as a level 60 Ranger on merciless act 3.

Some easy rules in this thread:
- Keep it sword ranger only.
- Suggestions/critics are welcome.
- Pm me, if you want something added.

1 Summary:

Spoiler

As you progress in cruel and merciless, effective hit points will be more and more important to avoid one shots.
You going to stack survivability passives like + %life, +% Resistances and %lifereg. Later on, you will add more DPS passives.
The gear you choose will require high armor, resistances, life and strength.
Since you need a lot of life leech, physical damage is the way to go.

Pros :
+ High mobility
+ High survivability
+ High Physical DPS

Cons :
- Low Elemental Damage
- Needs high life leech

Passive distribution:

20 Points:
Go for the base tree and head always into the direction of Iron Reflexes.

40 Points:
Make it over to Iron reflexes. Now hit into the direction of blood magic.
Pick Golems Blood, Diamond Skin, Unwavering Stance and Berserking.
Do not pick any damage talents yet.
Start to pick life nodes and savant.

60 Points:
Pick life nodes.
Again pick life nodes.
And again, life nodes.
Now move over to the marauder tree. Pick the 2x 12% life on the way.
Do not get any damage talents.
