AA Pure Ranger Epic Builds

[Demonnik-TR]

So i'm wondering what the new ideal build for AA's are as a Pure ranger
taking in new considerations
-Archery Stance
-Combat Archery x2(Epic feat stacks)with 21dex req

Also a 10k star would/wouldn't use this feat?

Looking forward to discussion/builds

I was unable to take combat archery 2x in beta. Was that intended or fixed with release?

With Point Blank being free now for rangers, I would think that you can sub in combat archery for that depending on when you hit 21 dex. We basically get 3 feats to use from 20-25 if you include the free TR to swap out for PBS. So, if you can do combat archery 2x, then those two plus a free one. That could be anything from an epic stat or epic toughness or just regular toughness depending on what you can get. Then there is going a different direction with extend for buffs or maybe another skill focus umd? It is pretty wide open; which is nice compared with cookie cutter feat selections.

I am not too sure about 10k stars build since that is not pure ranger.

Overall I am pretty happy with the ED for rangers. I went with 3 ranks of healing spring with 1 rank of fey form, illusion of well being and fey spring to give me all the DR and Cold Iron effects plus 3 total uses of healing spring. I am going the double rainbow route and adding in pin down, whistlers arrow and nerve toxin. Last, I do stand your ground (goes nice with all the other stand still things they added) and dump into track. If they ever make rain of arrows more viable, I'll take 2 out of track and add there. My diplo is low so I am not going withe AotQ.

Twists will be:

1- lvl 4 either piercing clarity from grandmaster of flowers or spark of life from unyielding sentinal
2- lvl 1 - primal scream from fury of the wild
3- lvl 1 - fast healing from fury of the wild

On beta, I wound up with 40 dex and 40 str with primal scream (i forgot to use titans grip) and over 700 hps and right at 1000 spells points with lots of healing over time abilities; which suits my playstyle.
