Introduction
How can you keep Critical agility up on a nonassasin? How can you make exhaustion spammable? Those were the problems that led to the design of this build.

Ranger/Assassin
Level: 20

Expertise: 16 (12+4)
Dagger Mastery: 12
Shadow Arts: 3

- Expert's Dexterity [Elite] (Expertise) <--79% faster recharge
- Golden Lotus Strike (Dagger Mastery) <-- energy gain under critical agility, 2 recharge
- Exhausting Assault (Dagger Mastery) <-- 2 recharge
- Jagged Strike (Dagger Mastery) <--almost no recharge, trigger for malicious strike
- Malicious Strike (Critical Strikes) <-- <2 recharge
- Critical Agility (Sunspear skill) <-- critical agility can be upkept since Malicious strike has <2 recharge
- Return (Shadow Arts) <-- get away skill
- Sunspear Rebirth Signet ()

Considerations
- Serpent's Quickness (Wilderness Survival) --> doesn't stack
- Golden Fox Strike (Dagger Mastery) --> isn't energy efficient, cannot be blocked is pointless when the skill has 2 recharge
- Throw Dirt (Expertise) --> maybe instead of Jagged strike, but the cooldown is iffy
- Lightning Reflexes (Expertise) / Whirling Defense (Expertise) instead of return

I hope u created this build only to find a way to use critical agility because i see absolutely no reason to run this. Expert's Dexterity is a bad elite, and it always will be.

Yeah, Never Rampage Alone + typical moebius build is so much more damage in exchange for 20 piddly armor. :/ Still maybe you're on to something here as you have the energy engine to keep expert's going.

So, being able to spam the best none elite ranger interruption every 2 seconds is bad? I speak of Distracting Shot naturally.

Expert's Dexterity is an amazing elite actually.

Why would you want to exhaust stuff in PvE....??

Shuuda · Jun 26, 2007, 06:03 PM // 18:03

I agree, I was expecting this to be more of a PvP build.

It costs 5/6 energy... what use is that?

Shuuda · Jun 30, 2007, 08:59 PM // 20:59

WOW 5 energy, a wooping 5 energy, that is so much energy, my merger +3 energy regen cannot handle it, let alone handle spamming it.

Oh wait, at 16 Expertise it's actually 4 energy, that changes everything.

Evilsod · Jun 30, 2007, 09:31 PM // 21:31

And for all that sarcasm... can your whopping 1 energy a second regen cope with a skill that costs 4 energy with a recharge of 2 seconds?

What RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing use is that? If i was going to be spamming nothing but 1 interrupt i'd use Incendiary Arrows, at least that way i won't run out of energy in the first 10 seconds. Moron.

Shuuda · Jul 06, 2007, 07:58 AM // 07:58

lol, I've tested the combo, and 4 energy with +3 regen is more than manageable, I even managed to fit Keen arrow in. And heck, you can even use a Zealous bow. Incendiary Arrows isn't as good, as it doesn't have the 1/2 cast time and it's a chore having to keep up all the time.

And by the way, if you need to censor you swearing with that "RED GORED" Stuff, wouldn't it just be easier to not bother with it at all?

Its an automatic filtering system you idiot...

What exactly are you going to accomplish with a 2 second recharging Distracting Shot for 4 energy? If your trying that hard by speccing 16 Expertise... use Magebane Shot, 13 expertise and put some other skills on your bar that might be useful.

Well......

1. Unlike Magebane shot, this combo has a shot recharge no matter what you interrupt.
2. Lots of skill disabling can be annoying to the foe.
3. A PD that costs 6 less energy and won't disable my skills.
4. Interrupting is fun, so I do it.

Well then, if you know it exists, then why try being so foul, the best way not to have to deal with a filter, is just not being rude.
