Sire Of The Shadow

Write a Ghostheart Ranger/Rogue build for me, please! P.S. I had been hesitant about even the Ghostheart Ranger, because I thought most of the top Ranger skills were at level 8-9 - which means they won't be available as multi-class characters? In particular, the skill that lets you shoot twice won't be available to multi-class characters I played a build similar to this. Personally, I found it very boring. At first you feel like it’s awesome but then it just becomes shoot once, kill target, escape, repeat. Where this type of build really fails is ship battles, where you can’t escape. 2 cents.

I think OP has an option for two handed in there. I’m going to try out the devoted version too. Just need a good name for a new character now.

I was just thinking about the devoted option. I think it may benefit from penetrating strike. Maybe remove weapon mastery and shuffle weapon specialization. Or remove both? Maybe someone else can comment to confirm if that’s correct?

They look great to me... but I never completed my solo run... so take that with a grain of salt. I like that you’ve allowed for two handed in here. I’m on board with the devoted version.

If OP dumps some of the Might and stacks Resolve wouldn’t that make it so she doesn’t have to use a shield? And, if OP is feeling generous I’d like to see a devoted final version debated as well. Just my 2 cents.

This! By far one of the best explanations I’ve read in awhile. Makes me want to try whatever comes out of this discussion.

Do street fighters require you to cheese mobs or are they capable of every fight?

Devoted/Trickster looks fun, I assume that it could kill fairly fast? How does this look? Any recommendations on gear that I could swap out? or should pick? I've left a lot of alternates in there in hopes of getting more information MIG: 13 >> 16 (BB, GoTM) >> 17/18 (Gear) CON: 7 >> 10 (Gear, BB) DEX: 7 >> 10 (Gear, BB) PER: 19 >> 22 (BB, Blood Sacrifice) INT: 16 >> 18 (BB) >> 19/20 (Gear) RES: 16 >> 20 (Gear, BB) +1 PER for Culture? That’s how I got to 19. Alternatively, I could dump MIG more and pump either CON or RES? Armor: Reckless Brigandine / Devil of Caroc Breastplate / Casita Sameilia's Legacy Weapons (MH): Scordeo's Edge Weapons (OH): Tarn's Respite or Beza's Toothed Blade Neck: Strand of Favor (+1 INT) or Charm of Bones (+2 INT) Belt: The Undying Burden (+1 CON) Ring 1: Solitary Wanderer (+1 RES) Ring 2: Entonia Signet Ring or Voidward Hands: Woedica's Strangling Grasp (+2 MIG) or Gatecrashers (+1 MIG) or Boltcatchers Cloak: Cape of the Falling Star or Cloak of Greater Deflection Head: Cap of the Laughingstock Boots: Boots of the Stone (+1 DEX, +1 RES) Pet: Socrates (+20 health per kill) or Abraham (armor recovery) Skill Focus: Athletics: 10 Mechanics: 10 History: MAX or Intimidate: MAX if using Casita Sameilia's Legacy I think this could work with Devoted/Streetfighter too? I'm more interested in trickster, I feel like its more survivable Does anyone know if this works for solo? It looks dope!

I would not try to solo with a Berserker/Streetfighter. I'm sure Devoted/Streetfighter can do it. What about devoted/trickster? What stats should we focus on for either streetfighter or trickster (if it works)?

Has anyone mentioned berserker/streetfighter or devoted/streetfighter yet? I’ve read that both are viable to solo all content...

I just invited your comment about resolve, decora and might. What would you make the starting stats?

Noted in the build.

I’m not gonna deny it...

Whats Lion's Spirit? He meant Lion's Sprint. It was bugged and still is and will be patched in 2.1. Until now it was a must on a barb because you were getting +15 accuracy for the whole encounter once you activated it. Ah, that makes more sense. I don’t think that makes Barbarian any more weak, that’s just fixing a broken ability.

Whats Lion's Spirit?

If someone has a moment can they go over this build to double check that it will work for solo. I’m concerened about fyapyrs and the ability to survive large scale fights. Anything that needs to change in terms or stats gear or abilities (so many good ones),let me know and I’ll adjust the build. In terms or skills I’m still think 10/10 split with athletics and mechanical. And full history. Is there anything to change here?

And if we do two-weapon style instead? So i am, damn it... slight edit not sure what to put in those spots. What do you suggest? I would go sabres, because they are very good and with devoted you have to choose one weapon class for the bonus. But with the upcoming full attack nerf, i don't know how good matial classes are in the end. I’m worried about the nerf too. That’s why I’m planning this build to go either two handed or two weapon.

I see the point of having more perception, in general most the characters I’ve played have higher perception. Is the answer to absolutely dump resolve? What happens when we do that? Mig: 18 Con: 8 Dex: 13 Per: 18 Int: 18 Res: 3

Awesome feedback thanks so much. Once again thank you. I'll begin looking into all these options Tactical Barrage was to fight confusion and according to u/ whimper - "Though I'll note that if you grab Tactical Barrage, you don't need to worry about it, since Tactical Barrage cancels the Confused effect of your Frenzy by giving you the Acute condition (in addition to the Aware condition). That's a net swing of 10 Int points, which makes a really big difference to how big your Carnage field is (+100% area), and how long your other abilities last (+50% duration). And Tactical Barrage is pretty nice for this build in general, since, in addition to that(!) it gives you a +5 Perception boost, a nice graze-to-hit conversion boost, and a +1 PL bonus to everything. Pretty sweet..." what would you change in terms of stats? The original stats are from my previous thread with u/ whimper who states - "I kept Might and Intellect high to (1) maximize Carnage damage (since Might is one of the few things that influences Carnage damage) and area of effect, and (2) to maximize healing from Unbending and Constant Recovery (increasing both duration and magnitude of the healing they provide)" and "Perception is pretty great, so it could be that Perception should be even higher. But the Berserker already has a number of hit-to-crit boosters, making Perception increases less valuable from the point of "percentage increase to expected damage" than it would be for most builds."

So Beza's is a better offhand then I'd say.
