View Full Version : Ranger Best use for my free feat? (AA-Monk)

So, my Mnk12/Rgr6/Ftr2 HElf archer just got a free feat, since Rangers now get Precise Shot at 4 instead of 11 (yay! Thanks, Turbine!) So, before I take my free LR, what is my best use here?

My current feats are:

Point Blank Shot
WF: Ranged
Mental Toughness (for AA)
Dodge (for Ninja Spy)
Toughness
Stunning Fist
Zen Archery
IC: Ranged
IC: Bludgeoning
Improved Precise Shot
GTWF (get TWF and ITWF from Ranger)

I am a high-Wisdom, mostly ranged build, though with a 38 Stunning Fist DC (45 when I cap), I also get in and mix it up a bit. However,

My possibilities are:
- Power Attack - with a 24 STR, I have enough trouble hitting things w/ the new AC changes. For portals/dummies? :)
- Another Toughness - I am stitting @ 492 HP at lvl 18 w/ ship buffs only, so looking to cap at around 520, not sure what the benefit of another 23 HP would be.
- Extend - I guess taking Ram's Might from 6:00 to 12:00 would be nice, but seems meh.
- Quickdraw - I switch weapons all the time, so perhaps to reduce that delay?
- Luck of Heroes

I would welcome helpful suggestions!

Precision. +5% to hit, -25% fort, 'nuff said.

Precision can be taken as a monk bonus feat as an interesting point (which could let you take barbarian past life instead of toughness or something similar).

Is it working correctly with ranged?
Quite a few feats were buggy, and as this is a stance, was just curious that it doesn't conflict with IPS, Archer's Focus, or anything else.

If it works....yeah, it's a good deal :)

The -25% fortification is definitely working. Hard to test the +5% accuracy. Others have said that it doesn't conflict with IPS/AF (I'll be able to test tonight when feat swap timer expires).

given that you swap weapons alot and probably also use action boosts alot i would consider quickdraw.

however after playing with precison for the last 3 days, i'd never go without it now.
