I'm a new player who's running this build. I'm currently level 42 and just got to Act 1 Cruel. I'd like to run some rings with more elemental resistance, however, I'm forced to run Thief's Torment otherwise I'll run out of mana all the time. Are there any alternatives to this or will I have to stick with that ring forever?

While leveling (until level 65 or so anyway) you have to be more careful with the mana multipliers of the support gems you use. So for example use LMP instead of GMP and use Stun or something like that instead of the "end goal" support gems. You can also stick in a mana leech as a support gem. Another option might be mana flasks and no aura or herald. The point being you have some good options to solve the mana problems while leveling. You don't need as much dps while fighting the lower level monsters. The final gem setups are tuned for maximum dps for fighting the higher level monsters. You can put the gems you will eventually want to use in slots so that they are leveling up and ready when your character has more mana leech capability.

Buddy has been using very bad bow, after getting plain phys decurve with around 180 pdps he's ok.

Glad it worked out for him. Thief's Torment is kind of an expensive ring. He could sell that ring later and maybe buy a mediocre 5L harbinger or decimation bow when he is higher level.

I'd advice him to get tabula for checking gems combinations himself, but 100% he will get addict to 6L and then we will have another "wtf im dying all the time help" thread. So I will bette not.

Completed 1M flashback HC with your build (need to wait for warbands for last). At 4700 life and 18k tooltip on TS with charges.

Gear


This build is not that easy to play on hc btw. Yes you oneshot everything, but I found myself on 20% life few times (was greedy with hatred+hoa tho)

You may have some superpowers, just dropped:

It will fit 10/10


Some, pardon, conclusions about phys rangers n stuff

no1.

I wanted to ask if this item is well known, widely used etc etc?:
I accepted that phy reflect maps are not an option, never. Since switching to LA would be too much pain in the ass and since I have no red socket for LL etc etc. I've got over it as it's just 1 mod so I can reroll map or leave 1 unid map for every 20, no biggie.
Suddenly I find this belt. I can deal only cold damage, still have hudge life leech and need just 1 (green!) mana leech gem for all working perfectly fine. And it seems to work even better if some1 uses HoA. It's gg if you don't wanna or can't properly use LA or don't feel like casting W.M. manualy.
Seems no one give a crap about this belt, tho, no one I asked at least

no2

I can sustain myslef from 0,2% mana leech node on gloves...
That's it, I've checked it on 8 tier no regen map. It worked 100% smooth. I think this was 4/10 hard test. If whole thing's gonna work on enfeeble, 30% pdmg reduction, no regen map tier 12 or higher I will call it a day.
That's all I spent on fueling skills and mana maintaining at all, anywhere (plus 50 flat mana from fertiled mind which I use because of incr crit gems req. anyway)

I'm toying with the idea of trying to get to level 100. My main problem is reflect. I'm on standard league but any weakness like this will make it near impossible to get to 100. What do you think is my best option? I'm thinking maybe I should pick up Vaal Pak but haven't ever tried that so don't really know.

Here's my equipment. The passive skill tree is really close to NeverSink's suggestion. Life is 4900.

Having a bow like that and Acuity you don't need Vaal Pact man. 100 obtainable for sure if you got those.
