Way of the Ranger
Ranger Strenght
Splitting Arrows
Game suddenly becomes easy. Splitting arrow is as deadly against groups as it is against single opponents - it can oneshot bosses on Nightmare difficulty!
Exploding Arrow is also appreciated, but with Way of the Ranger I find my arrows dealing more damage when they crit.
That was the exact same build I had for my female ranger! Annihilate them at range, but should a pesky melee fighter get in your face, just unload
all the arrows from splitting arrows into them at once...one shot kill, 99% of the time, (assuming way of the ranger hasn't just run out!)
