Build Help

Hey, I'm trying to find a better build. I don't feel like my build is doing all it can for me. I'm constantly being One-hitted in a boss fight, and my sharpshot, which is maxed, does little more damage than my regular auto attacks. I have a Beast Quiver, and a Major Wyrmscale Bracelet. My main skills (Light Heal, Bolas, Sharp Shot, Barbed Shot, and Rapid Shot) are all Dex based.

I have no problem at all with my energy, just low health and damage. If anyone with ranger experience could throw some tips my way, I'd be delighted.

First off your a freakin 109 with a str build. Change to dex build. Second your skills. No attack skills? Get rid of all points in rapid. And put em in longshot if you have it. And if you have longshot max it. First getting rid of rapid shot then gettig rid of barbed. Max steady aim as well. If you have sharpen weps max that as well. When i was usin dex build my skills were maxed: bolas, sharp shot, longshot, light heal, and steady aim, and i kept adding points to sharpen weps as i lvled. Hope this helps.

If you want to increase survivability, you need a lot more vit. Your level times two is a good amount of vit, so you should have 218 points. Also, you have dex based skills but are using a strength build....

Strength Build: Take 100 points out of dex and put them in vit. Max longshot, double shot, light heal, sharpen weps, and rest rapid shot and bolas.

Dex build: Take 200 points out of strength and put into dex and vit. Max longshot, sharp shot, light heal, steady aim, and put the rest in sharpen weps and bolas.

I don't think you really need 50 points of focus, your gear should give you enough energy, so take points out of focus and put them in different stats, depending on your build.

thats not a dex build, thats a mix build. The skills good for a mix build (if you're gonna continue with that) are longshot, bolas, light heal, steady aim/sharpen weapons. Sharp shot with that build is abviously not gonna do much dmg. I was pretty much mix build from lvl100-150 and it was gooing pretty well for me. Now i prefer str build :) BTW increase some vitality :D

Use this:
100 strength
300+ dex(the more the better)
No focus since u dont have energy problems
Enough vitality for 1.3-1.5k; maybe more if you can spare the points.

Skills:
Max steady aim and sharpen weapons. For a dex build, these skills combined are outstanding.
Get a high light heal
High rapid shot
And you're probably gonna wanna go with bolas.
If you have extra skill points(which you should, unless you maxed everything), use longshot.

Hope this comes in handy, I have used it on my level 115 ranger.

that was a good build till u got to skills. Dex buyild is made for skills and you're telling all the skills that increase auto?! lol skills for dex build : longshot is a must, sharp shot/barbed shot, bolas, light heal. Dont waste points in rapid shot. If u want u can put some points in steady aim too.
I've pretty much been every build - str, mix and dex. From lvl1-120 dex build, lvl120-150 mix build, lvl150+ str build. Worked out pretty well for me :)
