I didn't confirm it works with everything but at least it works with Apostate's Curse.

Wood elf Dark Apostate can be fully F2P; take Faith of the Forest to make falchions into Favored weapons. Also saves a feat (Adamantine Body) and lets you take any Eberron deity you want.

It appears Dark Hunter wolves can only equip non-metal light and medium armors. Functionally it seems to be just a palette-swapped version of the druid pet.

Another option would be wizard 6 / Artificer 6 / Dark Hunter 8. You get INT to damage from Insightful Damage, so you can tweak your AP split to be:

41 Inquisitive (capstone, +7 Imbue dice)
16...

The advantage to Spellpower-based Imbues is you can crank your Spellpower a lot higher than Ranged or Melee Power. Your proposal starts with 167 Corrosion Spellpower from gear, plus Spellcraft, plus...

Goal: a Dark Hunter build which actually makes Dark Hunter its primary Enhancement tree, ideally while maxing out its special abilities as much as possible.

Problem: For ranged DPS, Deepwood...

Disclaimer: I don't have Tabaxi yet so I can't test this.

But you could do DEX-based Dark Hunter 18 / monk 2: pick up DEX to hit from either Tabaxi (Nimble Cat) or Ninja (1st core); you should be...

If you're more interested in role-playing flavor than minmaxed DPS, I'd probably do a barbarian / druid. The usual approach is to combine Dire Bear form with Frenzied Berserker (aka a barBEARian),...

Hooray and thanks for all the hard work! :cool:

OP hasn't been back to update this so I went onto Lamannia to see what I could put together. It basically works as intended; namely you do get 16-20/x3 critical threat range with light repeaters...

Nothing to be done about Mark Target; but FYI the next update is supposed to improve archery (and lag/performance issues in general). The third Lama preview is up, which suggests the live release...

The low rate of fire of bows means they're not ideal for Imbue-focused ranged DPS. But the rogue 12 / ranger 6 Horizon Walker builds can pick up some Imbue damage fairly easily:

41 Horizon...

FYI you may want to consider rerolling as pure Dark Hunter instead.

Pros: free sneak attack dice, you have trap skills without sacrificing the Tempest capstone, Cure Critical Admixture is more...

Simplest option is Alchemist 18 / rogue 2:

41 Vistani Knife Fighter
21 Vile Chemist (Poisoned Coating, +6 Imbue dice, Simple Thrown Expertise uses INT)
11 Assassin (+3 Imbue dice, Ranged...

Any Shintao or Scaled Fist build could be converted to Warforged or Bladeforged instead. [So can any Henshin build.] Although a BF Scaled Fist has to use a Heart of Wood to convert base paladin to SF...

No. But the Imbue dice bonuses from Arcane Archer will stack with other Imbues that do work with crossbows, e.g., Inquisitive's Law on Your Side or Battle Engineer's Thundershock.

E.g., here I...

If you have Feydark Illusionist: look at Strimtom's Dragonborn paladin build.

If you're strictly F2P: honestly, you can use whatever race you want, but Dragonborn gets +2 STR/CHA which are your...

The devs have made it quite clear that Archetypes are a lot easier for them to implement than brand-new classes. So while they haven't ruled out new classes, they're unlikely to add anything new...

Unless you need the fighter PL, you may want to consider bard 12 / fighter 6 / cleric 2 (Strength domain) instead.

Pros: higher-level bard spells, +6% runspeed, longer-duration WC Ice attacks,...

Feydark Illusionist caster: pretend your Shadowblades SLAs are psionic attacks. Can complement with gnome Illusion bonuses. If you're a wizard, use Archmage's Phantasmal Killer SLA until it stops...

AFAICT the Dark Hunter's wolf has "inherited" the druid's wolf's restriction to non-metallic light and medium armors.

Why bother making a new pet when you can just give players a palette-swapped...

Build goals: archer with a furry friend. That's it, that's the build.

Notes: requires Horizon Walker tree. Basically I took a typical ranged DPS build and, well, gimped it by investing in as...

Build goals: melee DPS with Tempest capstone and trap skills.

Notes: requires Harper Agent tree. This build is inspired by a very old one: CThruEgo's Totally Bass Ackwards, an INT-based ranger...

Just making a thread to collect Dark Hunter builds, both my own and any interesting ones I see posted. I'll be focusing on pure builds but I won't ignore multiclasses. And I plan to divide them...

Bows have a relatively low rate of fire compared to, say, dual crossbows and repeating crossbows. This combined with lag/latency issues which can cause missed shots makes being an archer more...
