The time has come for my to create my favourite character in diablo 2.He'll use only ranged weapons and throwing stuff.
So , please support me in terms of suggestions!And help me choose between a shock ranger and a machine gunner (aka fanatic ranger with a buriza, too bad strafe isn't available for paladins).
Strength - about 80
Dex - everything goes here
Vita - about 180
Energy - lol
Skills:
20 fanaticism , 20 holy shock and maxed synergies for it.5 into vigor for non-harmony users.Resist lightning is a choice against FoHers in duels , too.
Equipment : applies for both
Demonlimb;CTA ; Treachery for prebuff
Equipment(Shock Ranger):
Generally , we'll aim for low physical/high elemental damage.The skills are completely holyshock-oriented.A Faith on switch is recommended ,but expensive.
The Stuff:
Helmet : Andy's Visage with a lightning facet
Armour : Treachery runeword (I'd go with enigma if I was rich , but I hate that runeword anyways) , 20/20 facet armour if you are rich and wanna hit harder with less IAS.
Bow : Widowmaker with a lightning facet
Belt : Verdungo's or Nosferatu's
Gloves : LoH, Cleglaw's at duels.
Boots : Goblins or Aldur's
Rings : Angelic or Rare Dualleech rings
Amulet : Angelic or Cat's eye
Switch: Spirit or any decent shield + Gimmershreds.
Equipment (Machine Gunner):
Generally , we'll aim for high physical damage and some decent PVP capabilities.We'll take full advantage by using lifetap ,valkyrie and our frost merc in crowds.In duels, naturally ,we'll switch to a widowmaker , though a 40/15'd one will fit this variation more.
Helmet : Andy's visage [UM'd or 15 res /15 ias'd ] or any COA
Armour : Treachery of course.Iceblink does wonders too.Peace is also nice for crit strikes.
Weapon : Your AK-47 AKA Blunderbuss AKA upped shaeled or 40ED'd buriza-do-kyanon , windforce ,eaglehorn
Weapon on switch : either lifetap wand or Harmony ,if you need a tank and a speedjet.
Gloves : LoH or Lavagouts.Draculs are a choice if you haven't got the space for a lifetap wand.Cleglaw's at duels.
Belt : If you won't blast em to bits with your blunderbuss , use razortail,Otherwise it's nosferatu's.Verdungo and SoE are always options.
Boots : Goblins are a must.They can be replaced by either marrows , eth treks or gore riders.
Amulet/Rings : Highlords + two BKs / dual leech rings with AR/res.
The Mercs:
Harmony/andy's/treachery -wielding act 1 rogue.
Act three merc cold merc with eth viper, eth spirit , any lore or shako , any spirit sword or lawbringer in chaosruns.
If you wanna get cheesy , any act three with conviction will work for the shock ranger too.But this is a build with style , dammit.
Inventory for both variations : Offensive skillers.Lots of them.Expecially for the shock ranger.Some FRW/FHR/vita charms would help too.Poison and max dmg scs are crazy for both variations ,but rough to obtain.
I could use some assistance with the breakpoints on paladin bow/cbow usage , as well some additional info.
EDIT : I had the mercs mixed up.
