4131, Savages are the brute force ranger build
Posted by -flso on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Summary: Nowhere near as flexible as other builds for PK.

Your strengths are your ambush power and semi-reliable
lagging with savage blow.

Your weaknesses:

* Completely gimped outside the wilderness, even more so than other builds.
* Heavily dependent on druids for transmuted weapons and gear,
to reach the pinnacle of their power they need both. Hitting vulns with
guaranteed savage boosted onslaught is very useful.
* Not as good defensively as other builds (smearmud is situational,
warpaint seems useless)

Given all of that, some races (giants, humans with str focus and ambush
damage edges) synergize extremely well and are a good match.

Others (felar) less so and require more work, limited gear, solid grasp on
ranger tactics and cabal powers in order to be truly powerful at hero.
