A build that finally incorporates skewer. I'm not sure how well it would work but just wondering what other peoples thoughts are.

Skills:
Skewer 10 lvls above you.
Dbl shot (10 lvls above)
Sharpen
Steady
Rapid/heal/longshot

Idk how well this would work. Ik bossing wise it wouldn't be the best but maybe it could be good for lvling? I'm going to try this out s: would appreciate if others did too ... just wanna know how good it is.

And if it's used with long shot I think it would be a great combo. Pin, run pin, pin, run pin. Idk just a thought.

Real men like blood in their face. Stop running.

Pffff hush n heal me nub druid

Unusual yea... a more effective unusual build would be:

Longshot
Sharp Shot
Double Attack
Rapid
Sharpen Weps

With damage adding Longshot gear using this combo:

Longshot
Sharp Shot
Autos until mob gets to you
Switch to Spear/Offhand
Double Attack
Auto
Skewer
Autos till dead

You'd get a strong initial hit + damage from Sharp Shot, mob would be almost dead / half dead depending on how many stars.

Even with DEX at 400ish I was hitting Sharps for 3k damage and Longs for 3.3-4k+. Using two Emberdrake Sharp Shot/LS and Sharp Shot/Heal bracers and a Royal Spider LS ring + added damage.

I'm currently running a tanky spear build which I like. I don't like being the typical cookie cutter ranger build... that's where this game fails me and many others. Not many really effective builds to be creative with. The new weapon hotbar addition makes this build even more viable though. When running straight bow/quiver I was able to redline 1 star mobs before they even reached me with just LS/Sharp and 2 stars I could get down to 1/4 hp left before they got to me.

Having Skewer leveled up seems like a waste of run/lix time if you're always having to move back after having pinned the mob.

If only they made Skewer more viable... Like a DoT skill, since you are "Skewering" the target, such as a skewer in a pig... make it bleed out.

Maybe the skewer build would be better for pvp?

Start,
Skewer

Auto

Hehe I didn't level skewer
I lvled my doubleshot, steady aim, light heal, double attack only.
I used obsidian weps too.
My build was meant to save energy but it worked good though(because of the damage boost from obsidian) but not as good as a hasted bow.
So what I do is I use dbl shot with obsidian bow, charge at mobs and dbl attk, sometimes skewer(lvl1) them, them with obsidian pike then auto all the way with a normal bow.
I thought at higher lvls I'll use the bow and spear/pike accordingly:
The bow along will be used for bossing as it has chaos damage or something.
The spear for massive damage to pesky ads nearby crowding around. e.e
oh yes, I'm a low level ranger, I'm about level 90

There's this thing called bolas that makes all of this irrelevant

Too much running to make it an efficient build for levelling. Youd be better of tailoring your build around your bow and just autoing. Like alb said, just bolas and then auto, less time wasted.

Possibly a decent pvp build, dont think the skewers pin effect lasts long enough to run out of range to cast longshot though

Longshot
Sharp Shot
Autos until mob gets to you
Switch to Spear/Offhand
Double Attack
Auto
Skewer
Autos till dead
dead

This is similar to what I'm doing! Just that at lvl88, I don't have access to a good spear so I am using obsidian spear but switch back to bow for autos:D
Also I use dbl at the start instead of Longshot /sharpshot which I would try :-)
