Warhammer Ranger

[Rizo]

Plan is to take Ranger to 6 for ITWF, but I have ZERO idea what I want to take with the rest of it.

Wielding 5% Weighted with Tempest for the autostun.

Schools of thought:

Ranger to 15 for Tempest 2 and GTWF.
Class for Attack Speed Clicky.
Bard support.
Barb for STR increase ( however, not to far since Stun = Autocrit so 2 extra threat means little to me )
Fighter for Plate + Feat's.



Leaning to barb, 56 str with x3 crit's mean's some serious damage during autostun.

Does stun = SA as well? Would think so.. can you SA with Warhammers in DDO?

If someone could post some build suggestions that be great.

someone else (kargon maybe?) posted a ranger/fighter build built around bludgeoners. really cool things you can do with stunning blow.

Yes and yes.

Another idea would be to dual weild maladroit weapons of bone breaking. You wont see the bone breaking part go off much but most non ranger mobs in the game have around 10 to 12 dex. So one superspeed attack sequence will leave the mob in auto crit. That and the first one or two hits of a maldroit weapon will lower the creatures AC and reflex saves making it an easy target for others.

Also consider a Weighted 5% weapon in one hand for autocrits. The 5% stunning blow applies to both hands! Tempest and Haste, 234 attacks per minute, each with 5% to process stun. Mathematically, that's 11 stunned mobs per minute!

The Tenderizer from the Reaver is an easy to get +5 Impact Adamantine Morningstar of Weighted 5%.

Depends if I go Rogue or not, I'll have to crunch the numbers and see how much more damage I could get outa Halfling guile / SA enhancements.


I would assume STR Rogue Halfling with enhancements would be the best damage.
