Looking for an up to date Ranged fighter build for PL

[Pyyro_del_Drago]

I recently came back to the game after about 2 years, and I'm wondering if anyone could point me to an up to date ranged fighter build. I am just looking for a build for 1-20, as I will TR pretty quickly. I am mainly looking for the past life and I have much more ranged than melee gear. Some kensai twf mixed in there could be fun as well though. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Save the PDK past life for Warlock, so you can get PRR and MRR at the same time. You can also adapt 8 arty to 12 barbie or 12 pali.

You can also PDK/SORC, BF/SORC, etc. but I would probably do my fighter past lives for hit on an 8 arty 16 fighter and save PDK for something else like sorc, bard, etc.

I'm on my last lifer of 8 arty and 12 monk. 3x dam.

I meant PL as in past life, not PDK haaha. Already done my barb and pali lives, almost done my sorc life now. I will keep PDK in mind for my warlock life though, any threads you can point me to with that build? Congrats on your last life!

6 Ranger then 14 Fighter, if all you are doing is TRing at 20.

You could throw in 1 Rogue if you want to do traps. 1 Rogue, 6 Ranger, 13 Fighter.

If you have good ranged gear you really wont need to TWF. However, should you wish to do so just for fun, the 6 Ranger gets you heaps of those feats as well.

Yeah, if you're looking for a Ranged/TWF mix, Ranger is the obvious path. Rogue 1 opens the door to Great X-Bow, and/or Repeaters are only a Feat away (and with Fighter, you have Feats to spare).

13 Fighter adds nothing over 12, so there's room for something better there.

I'd push it to Ranger 8, for CLW (or, more importantly, no-UMD ability w/ scrolls/wands).

You could even consider going Ranger 9+ (or Rogue 2+?) for Evasion and dropping to Fighter 10, altho' that precludes Core 12 Kensai, which is a nice pump, but not a dealbreaker (ymmv). But you aren't worried about needing Fighter here for mountains of Feats, not for a Ranged build, so Enhancements are your only consideration here - even a 6/7/7 split would get the job done there, w/ Feats to spare.

Any Ranged builds here will show you what the essential Feats and Enhancements are: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post5759361, and you might add some Fighter DPS/durability Enhancements on top of that if you have slop AP.

The Fighter category has some ranged builds too.

(But with luck one of the custom-build gurus will chime in with something more specific and fine tuned.)

You forgot to specify what sort of ranged weapons you wanted to use: bows? xbows? shuriken? rocks? It matters a lot to what sort of build you use...

Good point, sorry I wasn't thinking. Before my hiatus rangers mainly used bows, so that's what most of my ranged PL gear is. Would definitely prefer a bow wielder. Thanks for the reminder!

Okay, then I agree with others that ftr / rgr is the obvious split particularly if you want TWF as well; maybe rgr 6 / ftr 12 with a mix of Kensei, AA, and DWS. Rog or arty splash if you want trap skills.

Monkcher is the obvious alternative; maybe monk 6 / rgr 6 / ftr 8. Not sure how to spread APs, though.

Thanks for the suggestions 12/8 fighter ranger sounds fun. I will take a look at the link you sent to see if I can find a good build for race/stats/feats/AP. Thank you very much.
