1.85 Ranger CW/Mal/Ml10vest

[Meradesh]

I'm coming back on my melee ranger and was working on this template, but my head already hurts and need new ideas to tweak it (I'm still not pleased with it).

That's RR5 ranger, working with wyrd's spec
50+15CD
43+7 stealth
40+11 blades
5 bow or pathfinding

[shermi]

neck = rapture
cloack = som
Jewel = erinispolla
Belt = azuria
Ring = zahur and band of shadow
Bracer = zahur and wormskin

You can change zahur ring for ring of grotesque if want more af, and more hits cap

Is a nice template ... but i disagree with gimping your skill spec somewhat and negating the advantages of your RR to make up for not capping +skills in template

U should be able to cap all and be left with 2 weak resists 10%+cl sists ... your call tho

Been thinking about it a lot, but pathfinding is a waste imo when we can use AF charges and CL dmg add, maybe to spec high in blades and get +11 blades to benefice of blades taunt(medium bonus to hit) vs CD taunt(low bonus to hit) and to increase dmg on CD lvl 50 style. Also I don't like CL resists, leg proc negates it but still 10% body is handy vs lifebane and mincer dd.
So I should choose a solid template or higher bonus to hit on my anytime style and more dmg on CD lvl 50

 

[Aiteal]

what about this?

Good resists
Sun belt for incombat 10% resist buff
RoD for SL
Offhand blade heals for 100 before relics and has an excellent proc rate
Uses 1.85 armour, patterns for which are VERY easy to farm in SH
Stick Omni-procs on all the crafted armour and with hot on vest and offhand blade healing you'll be hard to take down

I diasgree with you PF assessment
You are gonna need that run buff when hunters pets hit next patch
With LotM and 10 CL levels using CL points on Dmg Add is a waste when you could have
heals and resists
add in aom3 and pd3 like my ranger has and you'll have resists like these

top level parry buff which is about 11%

I beleive in outlasting your opponents as a ranger, cause you wont outdamage them
The key to that is great resists and as many heals as possible

[Meradesh]

Thx a lot Aiteal didn't know about this offhand, it's a very interesting template, my idea at the other template was the same, reduce the enemy dmg to let the reactive procs work (som+ml10). By your experience what would be better traittors dagger or the healing blade as offhand?

What I normally do is carry TD in 2hand slot (dont have battler credit/arti)
and switch to TD for longer fights (against warlord mincers etc) after malice debuff, I loose a little con and str but working TD into a template is a real pain as I'm sure you are aware.
The util on the DF blade is excellent so I basically have a mainhand free template on my excal ranger, a few skills are not capped (10 CD, 9 Blades) but I'm very happy with it.

Omni procs are also excellent (very OP'ed on vamps imo)
Well worth running 1.85 armour with omnis over many toa drops
Running a full suit of omnis on US Classic, with 2 DF blades
The heal proc one you see above, and the mainhand lifetap/DD proc blade
Both have excellent proc rates and are viable weapons even on ToA servers imo.

 

[Meradesh]

Tweaked it and now I'm happy with it.
