You’ll find that you easily get through both normal and nightmare difficulties with Holy Shock. Holy Freeze: This is your backup skill, so you won’t need to max this until later in the game. This skill takes large jumps in damage with each +skill item you have, so don’t think you’ll be limited to only 4000 damage. You may think that doing one damage will suck, but you’ll find that your attacks will average out and you will be putting out some heavy damage very quickly. With max synergies, and no +skill equipment, your aura will be doing 1 – 655 damage to all monsters around you every two seconds and you will get an additional 1 – 3931 lightning damage to your attack. I only switch from Holy Shock if facing a lightning immune monster, so you will want to max this skill before maxing Holy Freeze. Holy Shock: This will be the main skill you will be using throughout the game. I will stress this again you don’t have to follow this guide completely, the key here is to have fun! That’s at level 99, so as you can see, you won’t have any points to spare. This is simply how my ranger looks, so please don’t think you are forced to copy this build exactly. For example, maybe you don’t want to max out Holy Freeze, so you put points into Blessed Aim for more AR. This build is very point intensive, meaning you won’t have much room for differences in skill points… but you can change around my ideas a bit. Let’s just take a quick overview of stats:ĭexterity: 146 Max (If you have +dexterity items leave this lower) Nothing better than having tons of points to put into vitality.Įnergy: Why would you even consider putting a point into this if Sorceresses don’t even put points into it? None. Vitality: Everything you can possible put into this wonderful place. This will allow you to wear each and every bow I suggest for this build. So, the maximum amount of dexterity you will ever need, without the help of items, is 146. Well guess what, you’ll be doing mostly elemental damage anyway. You will probably think that you should pour as many points as possible into this for the most possible damage. Not only does it allow you to wear almost every item that is useful for this build, but you can also reserve points for vitality.ĭexterity: This is a touchy subject. That being said, about 95 into strength is a nice number to shoot for. It’s a bow my little sister could probably wield one of these bad boys. Strength: You’re going to be a ranged character, so you don’t need whopping amounts of strength to wear heavy armor or use heavy weaponry. Well, I’ll base this section on an approximate amount of points into each section to allow you to use a wide array of items. Stats are usually tricky to explain because it’s based on what you’ll be using. This guide will most likely be released after the new season starts anyway, so you’ll all be as poor, just like I was! Bwahahahaha…. I recently started playing Diablo 2 again about a month before the announcement for a Ladder Reset was made, so as you can tell I don’t have enigmas and all that other godly crap people always want. I’m basing this guide on my personal experiences and the items I have used. So, that being said, if you have any suggestions for equipment or anything else about the guide please comment and I will try to explain why that idea is either good or bad.
This won’t be a guide that tells you EXACTLY what to do and EXACTLY what items to use, because guess what, I’m not the richest bastard out there. Why build a Ranger when you can build a Tesladin or a Frost Zealot? Simple, it’s a crap load of fun =] You’ll be doing almost as much damage as a Tesladin/Frost Zealot (depending on equipment) and you’ll also be able to slay lightning immune monsters and cold immune monsters, it doesn’t get any better than that. Basically, I find that the “Storm Ranger,†a ranger that uses Holy Shock and Holy Freeze, is one of the most versatile and effective builds for a Ranger. Let me explain a few things about this particular build. If you have any doubts, don’t worry, because I had some when I first began as well. Hello all, as some of you may know, a Ranger is a Paladin that uses a bow. Try to have helpful input and not flame me, that doesn't get anybody anywhere. Please make any suggestions you can, any help is appreciated. I wrote up a guide on my experiences, and i'd like to post it here. I've read up on all types of Paladins and decided to make myself a Ranger. My name is MSA and i'm somewhat new here.
