  • @OSYofRR
    @OSYofRR Před 4 lety +1

    I prefer going regular Ranger for the pet which is an extra body to tank and deal DPS. Smilodon is no joke when he grows at level 7,especially with buffs on him which is just so huge. I do agree though that fighter is a better "plug and play" option for higher consistent damage and even being more durable at higher levels because of not needing Wisdom and he can use medium armor at higher levels where the ranger can't without substantial penalty. Also in preferred terrain and preferred enemies the Ranger will outshine Fighter.(Boar pet is another good option because its so damn durable but won't have the dps of Smilodon).
    If you do want a maximum possible consistent damage with the least micro then this build is obviously the best and you can't really perfect it anymore. You could dip into Rogue as well but the BaB is not as good so you will miss more at the cost of having a strong sneak attack. One more thing to note when min/maxing is with this build your saving throws won't be quite as good with going Ranger but that can be mitigated for the most part (including save scum :P) Great guide though!

    Hi, this probably won't be noticed for a while, but I'd like to say each build you posted so far is excellent! I used respec mod on challenging to apply this build to MC + Ekun to double target mobs and it was an absolute machine gun blast
    Is it possible to request a build for a pure DC/Nuke sorcerer, I think your take on will be interesting

    Nice archery build!
    I'm currently playing through the game using your halfling tank build and I'm having alot of fun. Almost nothing can touch me unless they crit.
    If you're planning on making other builds in the future it would be interesting to see a cleric build. Maybe a cleric of Asmodeus.

  • @snowsandshrew1276
    @snowsandshrew1276 Před 4 lety

    Great build, only thing I'd change is: at level 10 you said the weapon training can be whatever and picked "Axes" but actually composite longbows benefit from the 2 handed weapon training and since the devourer of metal is a composite longbow with 2d6 poison damage and 2d6 regular damage. that two handed weapon training really comes in handy

  • @sethkunert9872
    @sethkunert9872 Před 3 lety

    I think a class with hurricane bow would be a good lvl 1 dip, that plus enlarge person, plus deadly aim. add 2 size categories to weapon damage, +2 damage on all ranged damage rolls. thats 2 extra dice.

  • @gordonmcinnes8328
    @gordonmcinnes8328 Před 4 lety +1

    I would go 4 levels of rogue from levels 3-6, you can pick up weapon focus and another combat feat, you get 2d6 sneak attack, way more skill points and class skills as well as a better reflex save; you lose 1 bab and your fort save is slightly worse.

  • @Dan-uf2vh
    @Dan-uf2vh Před 3 lety +1

    because level 20 is rarely reached and if at all at the end of the game, I come to prefer even numbers on the preferred attribute (this case 20 dex); you benefit from even attribute levels much sooner and round up at lvl 16 which should be just entering the end game on a completionist playthrough; I drop strength to 14 as it equates to just 1 point of damage and some carry weight
