Need help with a range build for Epic R6++

[rezo]

I'm going to be running R6++ on epic and was looking for a good range build. Was planning on Inquisitve / Falconry line mainly becuz my race is Aasimar. Need some advice on what classes I should take.

- have all races done for AP
- +6 tomes for all stats
- Would like to be able to do traps

Any help would be great,
Thx

2 or 3 threads below yours, on the custom character page, there is a ranged dps guide. It is a 12/6/2 Rogue/Ranger/Warlock build that is really easy to gear and does fantastic damage. go check that out. I was sniping down doom reapers in r10 on that build and not geared optimally at all.

A few thoughts on the build you posted. Just my 2 cents.

[QUOTE=majorhavoc;6497230]I had a ton of fun playing this, DPS is good & full Rog skills.

Aasimar Inquis Rng
12/6/2 Rogue/Ranger/Artificer
True Neutral Aasimar

27 Epic . : Improved Sneak Attack
Quick note that with +6 Tomes, start with at least 15 DEX to hit the requirement for Imp. Sneak Attack

28 Destiny: Mass Frog
Not available anymore, Harbinger of Chaos is potentially your best bet here. Unless you need a Material Bypass (Adamantine, Silver...)

30 Epic . : Blinding Speed
Not worth it in my opinion, either get it from gear or an augment.


Deepwood Stalker (25 AP)

• Far Shot, Sneak Attack, Called Shot: Sniper Shot
  
  1. Favored Defense III, Increased Empathy III
  2. Survivalist
  3. Survivalist, Thrill of the Hunt III, Favored Hunter II, Stat: Wisdom
  4. Killer III, Stat: Wisdom

Falconry (14 AP)

• Summon Avian Companion: Grey Owl, Ability Score: Wisdom
  
  1. Practiced Accuracy II, Out in Nature III
  2. Killer Instinct I
  3. Killer Instinct II, Conditioning

I'd swing 14 AP from Deepwood to Falconry, grabbing Deadly Instinct, No Mercy, Coordinated Strike, and Expose Weakness.


Legendary Dreadnaught (15 AP)

• Fearless, Weaponmaster, Thick Skinned
  
  1. Push Through The Line III, Shrug Off Punishment III
  2. Life and Death III
  3. Strike Twice III

Another option would be to swap these points into Fatesinger to get Reign, not sure exactly how the math works out but proc damage scaling with ranged power is kinda where Inquisitive shines.
Happy hunting!
