Assassin/Kensi/Arcane Archer

Here's a build I helped make for a guildie...enjoy

The basic idea is massive Ranged Damage.

[blitzschlag]

so you put 4 levelups in str and 1 in dex? would be good to add that to the build.

sneak attack damage while ranging is hard to get to work properly...

[unbongwah]

Have a look at the Triple A build in my sig to see how I handled things. The main issue I see is you don't take any melee feats, which IMHO is a mistake. Even if you're not going for max melee DPS, you ought to include something to bump it up.

[ormsbygore]

Yeah I understand.

No Melee will really gimp the build, and SA are really hard to get off with Ranged. But this was built for a guildie according to what he wanted in the build.

When I plan on building a Ranged Sneak Attack Build, I'll go for Heavy Repeater Assassin Deepwood Sniper. They are changing Ranged Sneak Attack effective range, 15 feet for normal(instead of the current 10), and Deepwood Sniper will increase the range of Ranged Sneak Attacks to 25 feet. I'll post the build once I'm done with it.

...and SA are really hard to get off with Ranged...

I have heard that this will be improved with update 9.

[ormsbygore]

Yeah they are getting improved.
