Puerto Potty, learn to read. Rangers, Tempests specifically, can have Improved Evasion.

Cocoon is in there as it's the cheapest form of self healing and much less expensive spell point wise compared to quickened cures. Keep in mind he is using KtA which also requires spell points. Rangers don't have that much spell points so sustaining a lot of costly cures during a long fight will leave you with less DPS and less healing very quickly.

I agree with the quicken + empower heal comments. Get rid of quick draw and power critical. Use cleaves to cut the boost after cast delays. Personally, also not a fan of First Blood but I guess it works. Much prefer Elusive Target. I'm guessing the 2 * Weapon Focus is just to boost melee power. I've been experimenting with Feywild for a little while. If you can fit in a sonic item, the extra hamp and sonic damage is quite nice. Not sure if it compares as well to Arborea but it's a nice second.

They get evasive dance...which is not improved evasion.  Reading is hard, huh?

If I'm understanding this correctly, Racial meaning Damage Boost and Hamp? More hamp is always good. Boost stacks with every other boost and it only costs 1 AP.

I'm guessing War Priest is referring to Harper? On that you have to ask others as I don't fancy it myself as well but if you can fit it in, it is nice to have. Not something that will make or break a build however as the enhancements have the core must haves in Tempest and DWS. The rest is pretty much fluff.

Right... I forgot you don't know how game mechanics work. Silly me. Don't let Grand, or anybody that knows how Evasive Dance and Improved Evasion work, see your comment. Too bad you can't change it now.

PS: Did you figure out Manyshot yet?

Strength/Khopesh build = yes take Evasive Dance
Dex/Scim/Rapier build = no, not necessary

As an aside, some people take at least 3 levels Fighter or Paladin and get Heavy Armor.  I don't find this necessary even in LE. (Not bad, just not necessary)

Regarding cleaves, they are there to interrupt cooldowns and reset Momentum Swing between fights.

Quickdraw is important to maintain 100% boost uptime for Combat Brute without long pauses.

Precision deactivates some LD abilities and new endgame does not have many fortified enemies.

Dire charge is only good for making enemies helpless, but I have Balanced Attacks for that. Also, the build already has a ton of active attacks and Harbinger adds a shitload of damage after MP scaling.

First Blood isn't very exciting, but it's the only DPS option.

This guy thinks wasting 17 AP on +4 base damage is better than 2 entire extra multiples of damage plus racial damage boost. Lol.

Let me guess, you meant to do that?

This build is intended for a well-geared tripletionist. I think the defenses will be fine. If not, I'd rather build for max damage and walk it back to increase defense if necessary than the other way around.

How much damage?

GrizzlyBear wrote on Jan 19^th, 2016 at 1:13pm:


A shitload. I have a lot of Shrouds to run.

yardarm_ wrote on Jan 19^th, 2016 at 2:16pm:


Hmm. Probably worth it. Would trade 1 str and 2 seeker for an extra point in thrill of the hunt and 2 in favored hunter.

Nope, I totally know how what I get for a few AP in the human tree.

The only reasons this makes any sence would be a) It does more than in the description or b) There is a way to spend more than 80 AP.

We already determined he is the vault punching bag so why not use him for his intended purpose. Also it's just so fun to shove the metaphorical boot so far up his behind that he starts choking on it.

what bigjunk said

if you plan on doing LE shroud make sure your hitpoints are over 1400 if you plan on tanking a boss in pt 2

I guess it doesn't even matter when twf, whether be it 5 or 10 %.
