Build Goal and Tactics



The goal of this build is to defy the "glass cannon" stereotype: in other words, make a Striker that can hit hard, yet is defensively solid. This build accomplishes that by taking the Pathfinder Paragon Path, which provides great durability in the form of renewable temporary hit points, which is a great addition to the Ranger defensive chassis.

This build plays in a similar fashion to most Rangers: isolate your foe, toss out flurries of attack rolls, and bring him down fast. You can use your durability to support other party members, or just do your job better because allies don't need to be hovering around you. While your DPR is respectable, burst damage is what you're really into - so don't be shy to let it rip and down foes in one round of offensive brutality. After all, it's what Rangers do.

Questions, thoughts, and comments are always welcome.

Data: DPR and Nova Damage



An important part of being a Striker is knowing how much damage you can produce. Here, we will be examining the build's Damage Per Round (or DPR) values, as well as Daily and Encounter novas, each of which makes the use of an action point. These novas will be compared against the largest known HP values for an Elite (Daily novas) or Standard (Encounter novas), to figure out where they stand.


DPR



NOTE: All DPR calculations are made against an enemy of an AC equal to the character's level + 14, and other defenses equal to the character's level + 12.

Level 1 Show


Twin Strike: 2 attacks, +6 vs. AC
Hit: 1d10 damage

Critical: 10 damage

Hunter's Quarry: +1d6 damage

DPR: (2)*(0.55)*(5.5) + (2)*(0.05)*(10) + ([0.55]2 + [2]*[0.40]*[0.55])*(3.5) + (1-[1-0.05]2)*(6) = 10.23 DPR




Level 6 Show


Twin Strike: 2 attacks, +12 vs. AC
Hit: 1d10+5 cold damage

Critical: 1d6+15 cold damage
Hunter's Quarry: +1d6 cold damage



DPR: (2)*(0.60)*(10.5) + (2)*(0.05)*(18.5) + ([0.60]2 + [2]*[0.35]*[0.60])*(3.5) + (1-[1-0.05]2)*(6) = 17.77 DPR


Level 11 Show

Twin Strike: 2 attacks, +17 vs. AC

And so LDB bounces back after being so cruelly torn away from the Pit Fighter.

Looks cool. I like how you've managed to emphasize defender as a secondary role while still bringing the pain.

Yeah, it's weird. I have a secondary role now.

But my nova calculations are what really make it hot. I can still oneshot standards and elites while still being hella hard to kill.

I've been waiting for you to make something like this, the pathfinder deserves more love than it gets. Well done!

EDIT: If you have the gold free, you could pick up a crown of victory and make a note about potential double action points in a round using the pathfinder's Act Together.  I know you don't like considering other party members,but it's worth mentioning - all it takes is one party member to spend an AP, not hard to do imho, especially if they know what you're capable of with it.

Have you ever considered the DoomGuard PP?

Destructive Action: Spend an action point and gain +1d12 damage on attacks made before the end of your turn.

The damage goes up to +2d12 at 21.

So at 30 Encounter Nova:

You have 6 attacks after the Action point for an extra 12d12 damage at an average 78 damage.

And for 30 Daily Nova:

You have 10 attacks after the Action Point for an extra 20d12 damage at an average 130 damage.

I just see Pathfinder as being fairly useless..

I have indeed considered the Doomguard Marauder PP. Also, Gauntlets of Destruction would make that an extra 84 damage.

In this case, the power of the Pathfinder lies in that I get an extra move action out of the AP. Combined with the Martial Mastery feat to recharge Encounter powers, it means I get another attack in compared to the Marauder, so the damage edge for the Marauder is actually quite small, and the situation could even be reversed depending on how much buffing I have access to. Additionally, going for Marauder would have an opportunity cost in a feat for Fighter Multiclass (which I do not take), along with the fact that the Pathfinder makes me a hell of a lot tougher than Doomguard Marauder, and it has better powers as well.

Pathfinder is a very underestimated Paragon Path in my mind, even though it's enjoyed a Blue rating in my guide for quite a long time.

Well I was basing my comment off the old build using the Pit Fighter where you did take MC Fighter Feat.

True the Pathfinder does add huge survivability though. Is there no feat you'd be willing to lose to gain the Fighter MC?

I'll check right now.

I'm afraid not. Even what I consider to be the weaker links (Two-Weapon Defense and Two-Weapon Fighting) are more important because without them my AC value will be mediocre. Additionally, the Pathfinder's Wrong Step 11E gives me an arguably stronger version of the Fighter's Battle Awareness.
