End Game Kit for Longbow Ranger

[ned_ellis]

Ok, I normally enjoy making up spreadsheets and piecing together my toon's end game kit but in this case, it is driving me mad!

Seeing as there aren't any set-ups on the forums and since we now have so many different effects on our items that we have to abandon the idea of having them all - fine - but whilst trying to hit all the bases I still can't seem to come up with something satisfactory. As a result I'm going to post two alternatives for which I ask feedback, ideas, pointingoutwhereIwasaclueless, etc.

I also realise it depends very much on build : despite wanting to be a discussion on the thread title in general, the examples are for a 'DPS' build with falconry (primary Deepwood, secondry Falconry plus arcane archer elemental imbue).

Silent Avenger Set-Up :

Leg Mist-Laden Vestment
Leg Collective Sight (WIS21, INS WIS10)
Leg Wallwatch Circlet
Leg Family Recruit Sigil
Hands of the Dawn Healer
Invisible Cloak of Strahd
Leg Braided Cutcord
Leg Crumbling Gloves
Shrouded Steps of the Beyond (artifcat)
Slavers Ring (CON17, QUAl CON4, UMD+7, Seeker+17)
Ring of the Silver Tongue
Leg Bracers of the Fallen Hero

I'm missing : Lsr Displace (we have blurry, but it kind of ruins the artifact if not maxing miss chance imo), Quality WIS, a higher base CON, possibly better saves but most of all HEAL AMP!

Wallwatch Set-up :

Leg Wildwood Vest
Leg Collective Sight (WIS21, INS WIS10)
Leg Wallwatch Circlet
Leg Family Recruit Sigil
Hands of the Dawn Healer
Leg Cloak of Balance (Qual DEX or CON)
Leg Outpost Sniper Belt
Leg Wildwood Gauntlets
Shrouded Steps of the Beyond (Artifact)
Leg Celestial Ring (CON21)
Ring of the Silver Tongue
Leg Bracers of the Fallen Hero

I'm missing : MRR, Qual WIS, Qual DEX or CON,

Anyone able to pull a rabbit out of a hat and fix either of these set-ups for me per chance?!

I realise that if one didn't base on Falconry or Enchant Imbues, everything becomes much easier so hopefully for pure Dex-based 'DPS' rangers this should provide a good framework to tweak.

Thanks in advance for feedback / help!

What do you want exactly? A wisdom based build? An elemental imbue build? (Which element?)

What about Doctor LeRoux's Curious Implant? Gives a ton of Heal-amp, and Insightful Wisdom? That's a neck item, plus wear the Wallwatch set... Work backwards from there I guess. What about accuracy? Whats your goal for spellpower for that element? etc.

No, it's a Dex build; as I said it's main Deepwood with Falconry (T4) and AA (T3 imbue - currently ice since using Void). Accuracy is on the the circlet. Spellpower is tertiary source after helpless / DC's and Doubleshot/Range power, so whatever I can get.

It's a real shame since the boots had a unique effect, but it seems like LeRoux offers more flexibility...oh well.
I'll post what I set on soon.

Ok, am currently using this which is quite nice :

Leg wildwood vest
Leg Collective Sight (WIS21, Ins WIS10)
Leg Wallwatch Circlet
Leg Family Recruit Sigil
Leg Cursebane Focus
Leg Cloak of the Champion
Leg Bronze Dragonscale belt
Leg Wildwood Gauntlets
Leg Stone Shoes
Sigil of the Triumvirate
Ring of the Silver Tongue
Leg Hallowed Castigators
Leg Twisted Willow (acid spell power augment)

I could optimise the kit if i removed the belt - gain Ins Dex+8 at the least - but i have one, love the item, and have no alt that could possibly use it!

If I did I would either replace the boots with a Slavers Con17+4, UMD+7, Seeker+17 and the belt with Leg Outpost Sniper's Belt or the trinket Echo of Ravenkind, Slavers Boots Qual Wis+4, Sheltering+45, UMD+7, Seeker+17 and Leg Outpost Sniper's Belt.

I can't see it in the post but you posted a heart of wood pic?
Funny...but not very helpful!

It is annoying that my weakest toon is possibly the one I enjoy playing the most...
