Well I'm pretty sure the boots saved me I picked them up before taking on Raedrics Hold and took on Raedric without any cheap tactics I failed a few times due to how you get surrounded and how easy it is to be knocked out if the enemy gang up on your non-tanks Fortunately shod-in-faith kicked in on my last attempt and it kept everyone's endurance flowing

Yes I am I was half tempted to name my Ranger's Wolf as Rosencrantz So far I'm coming to the end of Act 1 as a 2h Ranger and it's going quite well so far I'm looking forward to building up my Wolf so isn't as squishy and to get Tidefall, Shod-in-Faith boots, etc

Thank you Boeroer, the Ranger Build sounds interesting so I'll give that a go. From what I understand, Ranger has had some good buffs I'm hoping a melee orientated one will be able to handle themselves in comparison to the rest of the group. Thanks Lampros, but I tend to stay away from casters and the typical "Holy Knights" for a main character when I can (simply for RP purposes). As mentioned above, I hope a Melee Ranger will be able to keep up with the others for my first playthrough.

Hi Guys, I'm new to POE and its been a long time since I've played this style of game in general. For my first character on Normal Difficulty, I'm interested in building a 2-handed Off Tank DPS Main Character. Are Fighter and Ranger good candidates for this role? I'm not one for min-maxing in games but I never like feeling that my build is on the bottom of the "Tier List". As I understand, the majority of builds are viable in this game (especially on normal difficulty) but would my character be contributing well if they we a 2H Fighter/Ranger compared to my companions? Thanks!
