Path of Exile Raider - a guide to build from PoE Ranger.

Besides two other Ascendancy classes in the form of Deadeye and Pathfinder lies Raider - a subclass of Ranger in Path of Exile Game. In this short guide, we want to bring you closer to the topic of this auto-attack oriented specialist who is the master of self buffs gained through casts and combat itself. If you want to gain knowledge on who Raiders are and what abilities define them then hop on to the text below.

Raider Class description

As mentioned below Rangers are designed to be the best with auto-attack oriented builds. They perform exceptionally well in this field due to buffs that they can receive from their passive abilities. This is also the reason why they synergize so neatly with Frenzy, Onslaught, and Phase based skills. On the other hand, they can be built as evasive physical/elemental damage dealers giving them a wider variety of options when it comes to character development. In their Passive Skill Tree we can find nodes that improve Evasion Ratings, Frenzy Charge Duration, Movement Speed, and those that upgrade the effects of Onslaught.

POE Raider Builds

When it comes to the builds Raiders are not limited to ranged skills. They revolve mostly around auto-attacks, buffs, and quick damage bursts from Frenzy Charges. In their arsenal you can expect to work with abilities like Caustic Arrow, Cyclone, Elemental Hit, Explosive Strike, Flicker Strike, Frost Blades, Molten Burst, and Spectral Throw. These often won't require high amounts of currency investment and because of that, they are decent for new leagues and for starting players. On top of that, it is worth noting that auto-attack oriented build performs admirably in all fields of the game. They are above average bossers and decent levelers.

Buffs

A good example is a Precision that increases both accuracy and crit for you and your allies. Aura-based builds are also present in this scenario as they provide necessary boosts that improve the constant damage dealing nature of this Ascendancy. Look for stats like Attack Damage, Increased Attack Speed, Increased Movement Speed, Increased Elemental Damage, Chance to Evade, and Chance to Dodge on skills that you want to equip.
