You can check out all of our other League Starter Builds here, for Beginners and Advanced Players.
In order to be able to play this Build, you have to choose a Ranger in the Character Creation.
Before you reach the Endgame, players have to finish all 10 Acts of the Campaign. Most of the times, you will not be able to use the same abilities in the early game as you do in the Endgame. Here is an overview how you can progress easily throughout the Campaign. In this List, you will find all Gems to use in the Early Game, and To-Do Lists for all Quests and Trials in Act 1 – 10.
For even further Leveling advice, check out our Leveling Guide here.
In Act 2, Players are tasked to kill three Bosses, Oak, Kraityn and Alira. You can either ‘Help’ or ‘Kill’ them, whenever you engage with them. You can ‘Help’ only one of them, or kill them all. This Quest will grant Players a Bonus for their Character Power, depending on their choice. This choice can be changed later on if you made a mistake.
In our Build, we kill all Bandits.
Our Leveling Talent Tree focuses on utilizing the Gems being used early into the Campaign, often times changing as soon Players finish Act 10.
During the Campaign, Players can receive up to 20 Regret Points, which our Leveling Talent Tree will not exceed whenever changing to the Early Maps / Midgame Talent Tree.
After completing the Campaign, Players can start utilizing a more in-depth Talent Tree, focusing on their new Abilities and Gear that they want to obtain during this time.
Upon reaching higher Levels, we are using more Jewel Slots and even Cluster Jewels to increase our damage. This often requires to unallocate previously skilled Talents to gain the needed amount of Passive Skills.
Our Talent Tree will not exceed Level 95. This is to ensure that its a rather achievable goal after several days.
If players are reaching a higher Level then 95, more Jewel Sockets are a preferable way to use the remaining Passive Skills.

The list of Gems includes suggestions for various rare gems that can be put into socket slots, especially upon reaching the higher Endgame. Other Unique Jewels are a good choice aswell, but can become really expensive.

The Atlas Talent Tree can alter your game experience heavily. This Tree is designed to empower and direct certain League Mechanics towards your personal preference. Beware that the suggested Talent Tree works pretty well with the current Build, but this may differ for each individual player. Take this Suggestion with caution!
This Passive Tree focuses on Increased Chance to Drop Adjacent Maps, allowing players to progress into higher Tier Maps fast. This Tree does not include any other League Mechanics which should be chosen on players preference.
We also focus on dropping Maps 1 Tier Higher, aswell as additional Kirac Missions.
We also included a node for the Syndicate Safehouse for Map completion to trigger more Catharina Encounters for the Veiled Orb.
You can either use Lifetap, a Mana Mastery with Reduced Mana Cost of Skills, or craft reduced mana costs on Amulet / Ring.
Make sure you keep your Divine Blessing on Level 1 for lower Mana Costs, and if needed, use a Jade Flask and dont use Divine Blessing at all and turn off Grace therefore.
Beware that you want to use Lifetap on Frenzy aswell if you use it on Caustic Arrow too.
This build only needs 111 Intelligence. If you use Flame Dash, check its level! On lvl. 20, it requires 155 Intelligence, so you should keep it on Level 12, or switch to Dash.
Even with an Enlighten Gem, you need a Helmet with Mana Reservation Efficiency. You need to use Essence of Loathing to craft your Helmet. Preferably, use a Base with fractured Spell Suppression if you have the Budget.
Find a 6-Link Shortbow (with Divination Card “Porcupine”)
Spam Alteration Orbs until Attack Speed
Regal Orb and remove all Explicits except Attack Speed -> Repeat with Alteration if failed
Craft “Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifier” and “Cannot Roll Attack Modifiers”
Use Exalted Orb and then Hunter Exalted Craft (use regular Exalted if you already have Hunter Influence)
Remove crafted Mods, and Craft the remaining Mods to finish
