Strimtom's Acid Arrow 2.0 ~ Levelling with a bow has never felt better

[Teh_Troll]

I wanted to try the new AOE archery, so which would you suggest for soloing an Elf racial PL (1-20 only--no Epic)?
Also, any benefit to Wild Elf, or stick with standard?

WELF > Elf

20 ranger is fine.

Yeah, I was thinking that AA imbues would be fine for heroic, and that it would be easy to respect if I don’t like bows.

Is there an update coming for this build to include epic trees and even recommended gearing? Thanks for the great builds.

Also, how much of a boost is there with the1.5 x stat damage now ?

No-one is playing a bow Ranger even with the boost to DPS ?

I am, but I'm an idiot. it's still a flavor build.

Use crossbows, the devs have such a huge e-***** for them.

True but I love bows. Want to go Drow Ranger next racial.
If its improved a fair bit I will go it but I dont enjoy Inquis, so will go Stormsinger again because its been fun.

I am so late to the party. My guildy has come back to the game and is running this build. He asked me what Quicken does for the build and I can't think of a single thing. I am sure theres something, but I can't see what? It can't just be for uninteruptable ranger heals?

Nothing, but ranger's feat selection is pretty liberal because you get most of the feats you need for free.

Thanks Kyloz.

That's exactly what it's for. Good for solo play and some epic self healing abilities as well, I suppose.

I don't think I missed it? Is there a popular filigree layout for this? My guildy is running the build and we are struggling to work out what to slot.

Got 5+10 slots.

Would you go all out DPS or save a couple for +2 Con Raid filigrees?
