I am considering TRing my main and would like some advice. *He is currently a drow exploiterish ranger (12 ranger, 7 rogue, 1 monk). *He's actually been 18/1/1 most of his life and I LRd him when tempest 3 got nerfed. *He actually does quite well with the current level mix, and I am considering tr'ing into the same (except either as an elf for a better points mix, or perhaps as a horc, except then I lose the racial weapon bonus on the rapiers - which I have many of, quite a few of them greensteel), but want to see what other viable options may be. **
I still prefer some survivability and adaptability, since I tend to solo a bit while leveling up. *But in the end I want someone that will be a solid contributor to epics and raids (I have no problem doing an LR at level 20 if necessary).**I want to take advantage of as much as my current gear as possible.*
Also, I am willing to do a LR prior to the TR such that I get the PL Rogue instead of Ranger if that helps - and I currently have a +3 dex and a +3 wis tome in the bank (and may run another set of 20 raids prior to tr to get more tomes).*
My current gear
Head- minos
Eyes - tharnes, greensteel *air, greensteel pos/pos
Rings - shintao w exc str, ravager w exc wis, chattering
Necklaces - shintao, silver flame**
Belt - knots, ravager*
Trinket - bloodstone, hogf
Boots - madstone (3 sets), anchoring, golden greaves, striders
Cloak - epic mabar cloak, conc opp hp cloak
Bracers - ac +8 bracers, hp earthgrab bracers, leviks bracers, tharnes
Armor (outfits): icy reinments, dt with gfl/healing amp/freezing ice guard, dt with gfl/magma/dust (also have some resitance runes I could throw on)
Also have some items i never use but have held on to: pretty much anything you can get out of mindsunder (except the gloves), *dreamsplitter, madstone shield, a few other things. ***
Weapons
Rapiers: min2 w 4 insight ac, rad2 with exc dex, lit2, +5 holy silver icy burst of pure good, dest/imp dest set, banishing set, WoP set, all sorts of nice rapiers for leveling*
Picks: earthgrab heavy pick, earthgrab light pick
Other: epic mabar wraps for undead, 1 greensteel triple pos heavy mace as well as some nice gub blunt weapons
Any recommendations as to which builds I should look into?*
Thanks much
