You wanna focus on the AA tree and get to tier 5. Final Strike and Arrow of slaying are your bestfriend when the crit
Rune bow and the others are fantastic.
Drow enhancement tree spend 3 points first core and second core: Dexterity
Deepwood stalker enhancement tree spend on the healing amp and sneaking. Until u get the 3rd core: Sniper shot
And then go into tempest to tier 2 for the sprint/haste boost

Twists
Tier 3 Meld into darkness-Shadow Dancer
Tier 3 Critical Damage-Legendary Dreadnought
Tier 1 Sword of Justice-Divine Crusader
Tier 1 primal scream- Fury of the Wild

Didn’t take precise shot at lvl 3 because you gain it for free at lvl 4 and allows u to spend ur feat else where. IPS giving free lvl 11 and paralyzing arrows will lock down and if u continue moving you will paralyze everything try not to stand still to ips everything:-)
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS BUILD

What do you use the Byshek for?

What do you use the Byshek for?

I find I fight enemy’s with byeshk DR a lot and I don’t do dmg to them so it help breaks the DR

6- improved critical: ranged
9- Precision

Improved Critical requires BAB 8. Swap these two feats.

Spell Focus Enchantment feat would unlock Magister School Specialist for a total of +4 to DCs (+1 from feat, +3 from Twist).

There are a few sources of Favored Enemy in enhancements. Make sure you don't take those as your Ranger feats because then you can add the Favored Enemy enhancements on top of your Favored Enemy feats.

You can potentially have 11 Favored Enemies at level 20.

What about taking Combat Archery? You have the Dex for it; I would think that would be an improvement over a feat such as Great Dexterity.

U could but the more dexterity more damage and higher crits.

It takes points away from the AA tree and even racial tree. At lvl 24 with this build I hit crits for 30k

Just noticed this. I think this is the first ranged ranger build I've seen which chooses Sprint Boost over +1 crit range and Killer from DWS.

U could but the more dexterity more damage and higher crits.

Unless it's bugged (haven't played an epic ranged toon in a long while), Combat Archery is +1[W], which for longbows is usually an extra d8 or +4.5 damage on average. Meanwhile +1 DEX is just +0.5 damage +0.5 to-hit.

Also you forgot to list your level 30 regular epic feat, so you have room for Combat Archery after all.

I’m not sure about some the choices made here. A lot of wasted feats that could be used to increase other areas. Ones I would rethink are 3, 12, 15, 18, 24, 26. If you want a better paralyze DC grab enchantment focus, greater enchantment focus and swap your lvl 30 to Feywild.

Also, to help survivability, I would add empower healing and quicken as heroic feats.

Personally, I feel paralyze is the way to go... and the way SSG wants us to go. So, I used level ups on wisdom.

Lastly the epic feats lvl 24 take combat archery and lvl 26 is a bit more flexible. I usually go Holy Strike; wishing there was something better there to pick. I know others take elemental boosts for elemental arrows. So really a choice.

I’m sure I could suggest more, but that should help some.

those feats u listed are completely useless for this build I’m not focusing on paralyzing I want dps And the ability to survive and actually do damage not sitting there for 10 minutes on a mob because I don’t have higher crits or the weapon focus feats. I forgot to add it but company archery is a lvl 30 feat. But the other feats aren’t as close to as good to greater Dex and combat because ur goal is going to be to 1shot the enemy anyways and I have crit for 20k lvl 30 r10 using this exact build here

Good luck with your build.
