Hey all! I've been theory-crafting a Ranger/Paladin hybrid that focuses on marked prey, stalkers link, zealot's accuracy(?), damage over time gear, and sneak attack bonus with a wolf companion while staying alive as long as possible, any ideas for stuff that could make this build really shine?

Hi, I once did a melee Stalker/Goldpact Knight which was very sturdy and used his very high accuracy potential (Zealous Focus, Stalker's Link, Flames of Devotion + Ring of Focused Flames, Marked Prey, Accuracy Wounding Shot) to deliver the deflection debuff of the Blade of the Endless Paths (-4 deflection on crit, stacks 5 times, also gains accuracy throughout the fight with every second). The result is a "marking" character with sturdyness, nice single target dmg and support who stomps a single enemy's deflection into the ground (for you, the party members and the wolf, too). It worked very well as frontliner.
