Mah Physical Deeps Ranger

Chick

Cartwheel RIGHT
Another week another level 50 ish character that may just work well.

This one is a kitey ranger using as-close to possible pure Physical Damage, (Almost) purely phisical gem combinations and lots and lots of Evasion.

So far i'm 53 approaching the end of Act 3 on Cruel difficulty and have had very few problems.

Your main go-to guy for cleaning up trash is Split arrow combined with, in this order, Fork, Mana Leech (very Important) and +Physical Damage - so needs a minimum 4-green linked Item. In teh future I plan to add more gems to it, but for now it's good.

As soon as you have the mana leech gem in place you can start running the Hatred aura as Split + fork generates a huge amount of Mana, and the ice debuff + extra Physical -> Cold damage adds a good few hundred dps to everything.

Main attack you are spoiled for choice. For a long time I was running with Burning arrow slotted up with +Fire and +Physical, but have now swapped over to frenzy with again a bunch of +Damage/Speed support gems.

My current build is: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-...EosaiykrN6s96037UI9aK2cbcFd2o6Nbtg_T49tr7Cf7I
It focuses on Evasion and +Physical nodes with the odd Mana, Life and Resistance node around. Main defense though is not getting hit and decent movement speed provided by gear and passives.

It's really rather entertaining to play - i'll let you know how it pans out through merciless!
