Hi,

I have a borked old school dual wielding Khopesh toon I'm trying to fix. He has a +20 so I can basically respec him any which way.

He has rogue gear, many Khopesh's, TF heavy plate, large range of light armor so I have options. I only have fire phlogs ... the alter ate all my shadows. Have life time supply of other greds.

No ranged on this toon, I'll do that on another one that needs fixing in the same way. No wolves or trees ... again another toon planned for those.

Must have good self healing ... that is the main problem with how he is currently ... good dps but  shit self healing. CSW and Cocoon will probably do it..

Destinies are maxed and I have a 3 past lives. I think all stats have +4's at least.

Was thinking - TWF Khopesh's, STR build human pure ranger. Not bothering with ranged ... end game only at this stage.

Can someone help with start stats and feats please.

Thanks

Yes, get to "Killer."  T4, take all three ranks.  The Survivalist enhancements really increase survivability.

You also want the DWS cores.  Core 3 Exposing Strike works like Improved Feint should, and even the few SA dice you'll get, amplified by melee power, will add a fair bit of dps.  Core 4 is an obvious one, +1 crit range.  Core 5 is fort bypass, very useful.  All of them add to heal spell power.  You'll want to take the tempest capstone, though there is some argument about this in another Ranger thread in this forum.

One point in Human for damage boost.  Maybe two more for the first tier of heal amp, depending on your gear.

Another option would be to not go pure.  Your stats look more like a ranger/fighter or ranger/pally build.  You can do 18/2 or 17/3 or 14/6, etc. and wear heavy armor and get your PRR/MRR higher.  Since your current build seems to be saying screw it on the reflex saves.  I'm not a huge fan of the combo of average PRR, low MRR, low dodge and low reflex saves.  That's not a recipe for suvivability.

I go dex for damage/to-hit and use scimitars when going pure ranger.  You can get a standing dex in the mid 60's to 70 with proper gear.  That is as good or better than the strength you can get.  And you will be sporting a nice 70's reflex save with improved evasion.  Probably about 120 PRR and 70 MRR.  AC around 130.  Probably about 20-25% dodge.

When I go Str, I splash some fighter or pally. Then you get a strength in the 60's.  You will have slightly more HP, more base damage, higher crits, but crit less often ofc, and have PRR in the 180 range with MRR in the low 100's.  AC around 150-160.  You will have some crowd control with stunning blow, and some of the LD options like lay waste.  More AoE attacks.      

Either way, you will be a stone cold killer.  Ranger melees bring the hurt.
