8) Charm Animal [Beast Mastery] (10,10,0) Skill: Charm target animal. Once charmed, your animal companion will travel with you whenever you have Charm Animal equipped.

with the warrior as a primary you can worry less about damage taking and be able to take care of your pet and shooting down enemies...

what do you think?

EDIT: i was mistaken about the warrior's primary attribute.... instead even only the warriors armor will be a lot stronger and i can give a +1 bonus to beast mastery and a +2 bonus to wilderness survival...

so this is the build now:

You'd swap the best Primary Attribute in the game for the second worst..? Yay.

reply to edit: I still think you'd be much better off with the energy cost reduction of Expertise than you would be with the armor gain of the Warrior armor.

You are using a two preparations with Barrage which removes all preparations. Just not energy efficient or useful thing to do.

Vermilion Okeanos · Apr 14, 2005, 09:25 PM // 21:25

you going to need some sort of energy supply...

maybe equip a sword and use flourish then switch back to bow

maybe put in penetrating shot to add on to the armor penetration

walder · Apr 14, 2005, 09:55 PM // 21:55

Or maybe use Expertise because its the best Primary attribute in the game. The only reason I would ever use Strength would be for the shield requirement. There are times where a weird build is good, this is not one of them.

Flourish no longer requires a sword, but I would still recommend using Expertise.

blood raven · Apr 15, 2005, 08:21 AM // 08:21

what does expertise give me except for the energy reduction?

'cause i only have 1 attack skill.... barrage...

and i have barrage + 2 preperations because i use the preperations for regular targets and barrage on a cluster of enemies...

thx for the help

Expertise is the Ranger's primary attribute. Every rank in Expertise reduces energy costs on any attack skills, preparations, or traps by 4%. At skill rank 12, energy costs are reduced by 48%.

I dont get it, does strength increase damage on bows/wands etc...?
