Default Solo UW pure ranger build

This is all theory and i would like it tested out plz because i deleted my ranger to make some dumb necro thing ^^

Attributes
Expertise:16
WS:15

Skills:

Whirling Defense
Throw dirt
oath shot {elite}
troll unguent
dust trap
barbed trap
flame trap


how to:
"poop" ur quickening zephyr
set BT and FT
aggro mob with whirling on (pulling thru traps)
use throw dirt when mob is well set
if recherged, recast traps
when whirling is 1/4 recharged use oath shot and renew the blind and WD
continue to keep them blinded and keep on WD while using traps for dmg
use troll for healing

the reason that you will live against the aatxes is because of this:
blinding=90% miss
whirling=75% block chance

100%-90%=10%
10%*0.75= 7.5%
90%+7.5%=97.5%

i've been using almost this same build to farm trolls . it works pretty well, but i have maxed WS instead of expertise. i havent tried UW yet, but it would probably work pretty good. if you get a chance to try it out before i do, i'd like to know how it works.

Thread closed due to flames. Check last page for revised skills after the AoE update. Just put Apply Poison on your bar, basically. Personally, Trapper groups would seem much faster.

Healing Breeze for empty slot? Also why not Balth Spirit or Essense Bond? And why not switch Trappers Focus for Mantra of Resolve and be a R/Me then have serpents for spike trap. You shouldnt need serpents.

That build is not going to work. If you want to have any energy at all you're going to want both Essence Bond and Balthazar's Spirit. Which I still doubt will get you enough energy. Mending by itself will not be enough healing. Which means you need Healing Breeze.

You will definitely want:
Prot Spirit
Healing Breeze
Mending
Essence Bond
Balthazar's Spirit

Which leaves you three skill slots. If you're going to trap, you're going to need an anti-interrupt. Which leaves two slots to do damage which. Traps take too long to recharge, and are not energy efficient.

And taking energy into consideration, I doubt you will have more than the energy you get from Druid's armor (32). You will not get any energy from the Cesta because you don't have blood magic, and Wands usually don't give energy, and even if you have one that does it won't be much.

Running three enchantments will put your energy regen at break even, which means you are entirely depending on your enchantments to supply your energy. You might be able to keep yourself alive, but there is no way you're going to be able to trap, especially at the high energy costs traps are. You won't be able to lower the cost of traps too much with expertise (maybe att 5 or 6) because you're putting all your attribute points into Healing, Protection, and WS. And putting two traps down every 30 seconds or so isn't going to be nearly enough to kill two aataxes.

If you're R/Me, you're not 55ing. And Mantra of Resolve is going to rape your energy.
