The "Builds/Help with Builds" thread
#32297 - 08/15/07 09:59 AM

Just started playing this game after I found out about it on Gamespot. Decided to play my favorite class, the ranged death dealer. Ive played D2 for years and this game seems to be alot like it which totally rocks.

Im carrying over a bit of my D2 experience so I know that how you choose to distribute your stats can make a big difference after you've reached lv 80 or so. The build/setup Im working on I guess would be a straight up PoisonBow Ranger build. I'll post my current build strategy in a moment.

Since Im still lv 10 and just started playing 2days ago;Im wondering what else is out there that people with more experience have found.

Here is what I found playing a 'Poison Ranger'.
-The slower the weapon = more stopping power.
-The faster the weapon = quicker spell reload time.
-Poison strength comes from INT., so a pure AGI build is not effective here.
-Fighter class armor really helps when all ur points have been spent into AGI and INT.

These are just my observations on the 'Poison Ranger'

This is more a hybrid post, but I find mixing my ranger with mage gives me more mana for gaseous blast, RoF and Shadow Lightning.

So from what I've heard so far there seems to be to primary ranger builds atm

Crit Ranger
PoisBow Ranger

Any other Ranger based custom builds being used by the higher levels?

yeah you are right

My ranger now is: (BASE POINTS)
Str 14
Agi 54
End 11
Int 36

And total:
Str 16
Agi 145
End 59
Int 46

what do you think about this?

and something more about the weapon's speed

the weapon's speed effects on skills reload time?
i use poison shot all the time. If i have a Fast bow the skill will reload faster?

and if the answer is yes how many time is the differnce?

I dont know how much faster, as I have re-classed to Mage....
So a little experiment. Next time you loot a normal speed and ludicous speed bow, equip them both and check the changes in spell reload time.

I've got it down to where I use the exact same build for my warrior or range.

str = 10
agi = 470
end = 55
int = 10

weapons are all piercing 4 rb 1h'ers (2 Skulliosi, 2 Moonglaze) Tuning Fork for 2h'er, what ever bow i can find.
3 armor sets, 1 to look cool in(dark plate), warrior to fight abbie in, ranger to play with... i try for either +melee, +piercing or +crit on all of it
