Melee Ranger Template

[Khalesh]

Going melee ranger so bear in mind the why no +bow bits.

Any ideas on how i can squeeze out a bit more +str/con cap and the necesssary str/con without nerfing anything else? Also any more + hits would be nice but kinda stuck with what i have atm.

[Solari]

Try adding Bracer of Heavely Bodies instead of an ebon and redo template a bit...Find another necklace perhaps and gimp a single of your resists to cap your hits ect.
You could switch your harpy feather charm with GoLM which enables you to remove scalars and adds another piece of sc armour to work with.

 

[Tallen]

If your blade spec, is it necessary to cap your Dex? Perhaps you could free up some points there.

 

[flinter]

imo mine is better and cheaper https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=60007

but mine was critisized on missing str/con so I guess that's an issue in yours too

 

[Solari]

If your melee, cap con, not neccesarily con cap inscrease at the expense of other things, but cap hit and increase hit cap.

dex shouldn't be nerfed since it's bow damage, and evade.

 

[censi]

a blade melee temp can be more optimised than that.

if you got 12 bow basically forget, dex completly pick utility items for con and str and no dex at all.

doing this you can prolly with battle malice squeeze a 400 hp, 26 str/con cap template with top end % melee bonus's.

this temp falls way short of what you can achieve because you are missing a fair bit of util in the SC 35/37.5 is not acceptable on 1 piece of armour. I aint saying go and spend 15 weeks farming all the rarest uber stuff because you really dont need to. With a few choice items you could boost that temp, and its worth doing because you have made the effort to get gov, battler ,malice som etc and level all that shit.

some of that jewerly is letting you down. that ring of underlings has the vast majority of its utility in matter spirit and energy.

even though the thought of a blade melee ranger is nice, you are going to make some real sacrifices from loosing bow, if you make that sacrifice then you need a kick ass template to compliment what you character is gonna be all about (pummelling down other stealthers in melee). On this servers theres some tough assasins out there, if you go at them with a poor template u will get your glutious handed to you.

(also LW i think is the way to go for melee, but then templating becomes a real hardcore exercise)
