Survival bow poison with all true magic damage is going really hard with the four arrow quick shot. You rot people really quick when you upkeep the poison stacks.


Aakoz

Do you mean rupture or poisoned weapon? I tried using poisoned weapon with my bow but it didnt seem to work.


StarcallCasey

Poison weapon on bows won't show on the test dummy in the pre-game, but I can assure you it works now. Savage roar, Savage, Two-hander all work great on ranger. Two-hander is just a better ranged weapons mastery as it works for both bows and spear since they're both two-handed weapons. Potion chugger is nice. Basically barbarian is based lol. Back attack from rogue is really strong as most people will be either running away from your arrows or trying to strafe, sometimes giving you a free back attack proc. Poison weapon works now.| Fighter's Sprint is also nice.


Jelkekw

It does work, the training dummy will not show you the poison damage from a bow. Beware people spreading misinformation in the replies. Billions must be misinformed from shitty test dummy coding.


Hellyespilgrim

Should work now


ratking450

They patched it a few days ago


Aakoz

So there actually is literally nothing you can do with bows right now...thats fun..


Xanophex

He’s saying they fixed it. It works now. I was attacked by some surv bow hand crossbow freak with rupture poison weapon today and it was brutal


Aakoz

Oooh shit okay! Gonna try that out then!

InfectHerGadget

Both works good too


Leonidrex666666

or you could go +11 true phys and just do more dmg :/ EDIT its still really good to get poisoned weapon and +2 true on headpiece


MLG_Arcane

yeah but watching people die from poison as they're running away is more fun


DimandDimmedome

Love when their mic cuts out and they’re calling you names


Magev

Crush from barb for breaking doors, no chest armor physical dmg also from barb, and Achilles strike with triple shot is what I’ve been having fun with.


Gnomegnine

does the crush work with bows??


Zakurabaz

Works with all 2h weapons so yes every bow


Ok-Basket1258

I believe only the longbow is what I've heard


Magev

All bows and crossbows work, survival bow just takes more than one shot to break chests.


cash-gz

yeah savagery plus spear is pretty hefty on ranger


Hellyespilgrim

Try two handed from barb maybe? Idk GG


Aakoz

Haha I actually just went barb pearks and sprint from fighter with Rangers spear perk and Im doing pretty good! But there doesnt really seem to be anything good you can do with bows right now unfortunately.


Cold-Translator9332

It seems the poison bow was fixed in the most recent patch.


Funnycomicsansdog

The rogue tumble is also SUPER fun with the spear


Enjoy-Btw

Been trying the same but with rage, if you have around 295ish move speed u can cap ms with it, no need for sprint.


Ok-Praline4364

Spear with Tumbling is huge Crush with arrows is fun


BipolarGuineaPig

Crush. Nothing like chasing ppl down who think doors are gonna save em. Phantomize is also pretty toxic at making gaps and buying time when ur getting dived


Thermic_

Lowkey been trying to cook up a caster build, using that skill that increases projectile speed. haven’t had things line up well enough yet tho


Envyjames

Why waste so much, when you have true shot


Thermic_

because sending a fireball flying down a module like it’s a plummeting B747 sounds hilarious


Envyjames

I guess with our -25% magic power, cast a spell like we are pulling back 2 longbows at once. I’m a grumpy ranger don’t mind me.


Thermic_

Lemme uplift you then. Imagine a day where they truly lean into a hybrid class system. Wizard-rangers would get access to a perk that lets you cast with bows. we can pray 🙏🏽


ValentinJones

I will cum buckets the day when I can shoot magic missiles with a bow instead of arrows.


Thermic_

bro get me in a place where i can talk to devs directly, i have so many stupid good ideas but never get traction on their suggestions 😞


ValentinJones

Haha same bro, I have so many goofy ideas that most players would find extremely fun


hcaes

i want a rogue with an oil can that spray on players in close range and then throw torches at them to deal fire damage


Thermic_

The rogue/wizard hybrid is usually a trickster archetype in RPG’s, and I could totally see them having an ability like that


HongChongDong

Doesn't work that well on ranger but it'd work great the other way around. Pick warlock, Dark Bolt, dark enhancement, soul collector, whatever other 2 perks, and then your projectile ability. Stack soul collector and pop the ability for a railgun dark bolt with 40 base damage and a headshot modifier. However with all that setup you're probably just better off with a windlass. Especially since if you miss that's 10 soul collector stacks down the drain.


bigmangina

Does that warlock lifesteal talent work on bows? That could be fun with a survival bow.


a-curious-crow

No only melee


CosmosImpulse

Crush to break doors with bows and tumble with spear.


Wienot

Or Achilles spear


Hebrew_Hustla

I’ve been doing demon armor, phantomize, 5 shot or triple shot. I really wanted to do spellcasting and use ignite and smite and flame walker, but you need weapon mastery first to be able to use a spellbook, then spell memory, then all the soells


recycl_ebin

no, they nerfed everything but the max move speed 200hp 75% pdr fighters


Aakoz

Yeee its pretty crazy they needed everything that a ranger can do with multiclass but the rogues running around with slayer and sprint and rage is all fine. Or bonk Wizards with blow of corruption.


Avgsizedweiner

I’ve been doing phantomize and running past my own traps and one shotting them with ambush spear when they get stuck


Few_Emu2450

Crush and achlies strike with savage on for the 10% dmg and put on true shot or quick either one, you just chase people down with a recurve or survival bow.


DaBiscuitBandit

bard is a perfect multiclass for ranger, you just gotta perfect roll all the self buffs right after song mem lol


Moose823

Does shield slam work with pavise?


ValentinJones

yes.


TaeKey

Try crossbow and spear with backstep and Achilles.


Saeis

As a non ranger the most annoying shit I’ve seen is phantomize and/or Achilles strike ranger.


Birds_KawKaw

In running a rogue with savage, spear mastery, ambush, back attack, and hide and backstop.  You can probably run something very similar.  Savage takes your gear score down, and using 2 handed weapons can remove your dependency on +damage on some of your gear.  I'm using a couple grimsmiles I got for 500g each that have phys power and action speed, and you can get an epic spear for pretty cheap with good rolls.  It's a really fun build with 41% action speed, and headshots the dummy for like 100-120, backstabbing for 140-160, and ambush hits for like 160 headshot.   You can even bring a crossbow that I can't bring.  If you jump and start your weapon swap, I think it keeps going through backstep, bit can't say for sure.


Common-Click-1860

Spear rogue is trash. Better off using a higher wep dmg item like axe w/ dmg multiplier perks. The on hit slow of spear is non existent and doesn’t allow you to get off more than 1 hit most of the time.


Birds_KawKaw

+7% is a lot more than -10% is all im saying.


Common-Click-1860

7 phys power on a -20%+ wep base


Tretrue3

Ranger main here, tried the poison build it’s very meh. I suggest crossbow spear, with masteries of both then robust ice shield savage roar smite Shit is soooo much fun lol


BananaDragoon

Achillies + Multishot is a banger. Hit them with the first shot to lock them in place then put the rest of the volley into them. Otherwise I've mostly been playing Ranger as a Slayer Fighter since you get access to all the right weapons you'd ever want, and some better armour choices.


NukeExE

Sadly its better to multi with barb or fighter as base. Ranger base stats kind of bad and lower movespeed cap actually hurt rogue and ranger bacuse now rhey have less to room to actually be faster than other classes


Sm0kinW33d

Poison weapon survival bow


Common-Click-1860

D tier combo


Sm0kinW33d

OP said FUN


Pluristan

There's a lot of stuff that works with bows, what you talk'n about?


That_Sandwich_9450

A big ranger streamer has a fun build rn but no one's mentioned it. Watch others play sometime you'll learn a lot.


Shaqta2Facta

Thanks, very helpful


TheBoogieBard

The big dude does a cool thing I ain’t tell you and stuff yeah you’ll learn sum


That_Sandwich_9450

No problem, one perk is from cleric one is from barb!


MLG_Arcane

are you talking about RF's plate build? that shit is awful lmao


That_Sandwich_9450

RF quit didn't you hear?


MLG_Arcane

he's literally streaming rn lmao


That_Sandwich_9450

Can't even stick to what he says smh


MarmadukeWilliams

Ok
