Q Staff Ranger

[Gljosh]

I am want to knock out my final SDK and Ranger Life. I have already ETR'd quite a few times and have grown tired of Tempest and Arcane Archer. My thoughts are to make a SDK 8 Ranger, 7 monk, and 5 Rogue Q staff build, placing points heavily into Acrobat and Henshin. I have a full assortment of Q Staffs (Fully Upgraded Sireth, multiple GS, an Air Alchemical, etc).

From a theory craft stand point it works (plenty of Skill points, lots of Q staff abilities, 8 Ranger allows for Emp Healing to boost Cocoon).

Does this build seem like it would work in game (running solo EH easily and not being a back pack buddy in EE)?

For past life background I am an Epic Completionist (9 Divine, 8 Martial, 8 Primal, 5 Arcane) and Heroic Completionist (3 Druids, 2 Arti, 2 Monk, 2 Ranger everything else is 1 life). .

get two weapons, dance of death, and try not to make something simple so complicated.

:rolleyes:

FWIW, OP, I think Storm Dancer / Tempest, Growing Storm, and Elaborate Parry all work with any melee weapon, so they might be worth adding if you have the APs to spare.

Definitely take THF at level 1 lest you run into conflict with the auto-granted TWF @ ranger 2 locking out the first THF feat.

I think they fixed that a while ago, but regression testing is not Turbine's forte. Better safe than sorry.

I have two Celestias and have done that for two ETRs on my 18/1/1. I want to do something different but still want that Ranger Past Life, planning on an Arti life next and another +2 Damage is pretty nice.
