Classes
the first class is obviously the Ranger, but for the second class you can choose whatever you want, just make sure to grab some crit passives

if you need more damage get some big damage cooldowns from priest or knight (holy damage scales well)
Spells
Primary Skill:
Poisonous Fog
- deals 4x 70% damage over 2 seconds, and is also aoe!


Secondary Skill:
Blood Shot
- Deals ok AoE Damage, only used for the 30% Leech. This keeps us alive!


Advanced Skills:
Zen Blast
- Our main Movement Skill


Tight but Loose
- DPS cooldown + heal over time for the whole party! Edit: i use the movement speed version of this now just to pull more stuff faster


Venom Blast
- AoE DPS cooldown, does a strong dot and makes mobs explode on death!


Cunning Decoy
- second Movement Skill, i often replace this with a dps ability from my second class

Passives:
Guardian
- 10% movement Speed
- 20% dodge!


Fire Hero
- 10% Damage Resistance (i know it sais Decrease but test it!)
- 20 % Resistance all Attributes

Attributes
I spend my Attribute Points 50/50 on Bravery and Prestige

Bravery
- Generic increase to toxic damage
- get this first while leveling if you dont have crit damage anyways!

Prestige
- Crit chance and Resistance!
Gear
Armor Type:
I chose Heavy armor to reach around 50% dmg mitigation from armor

Stats:
Crit damage until you get around 200% crit damage bonus
Hit points, especially when dual wielding!
Toxic Penetration
Life
Resistances
Playstyle
1st priority: stay alive!
you need to stay ahead of the monsters or you will die, if they catch up just blow them up and do the next boss the old fashioned way
You can Jump over monsters and use your movement spells to get past them and to avoid getting stuck.

2nd priority: pull as much as you can
you want to make the most out of your Venom Blast, it has a big Cooldown!
Whenever a monster that has the Venom Blast debuff on it dies, it deals 515% Toxic Damage in 25 Range, with a lot of monsters this will instakill bosses!


Videos

Just a quick Update on my Progression - Last Dungeon on Hard Mode with 5 ppl is easy. on a perfect pull Most bosses are One shot. 150% crit dmg now 79% Chance... it is funny beeing @ discord "should we kill ?" (1000 Mobs on the Tank) "no we can go on" ... "Oh sorry" (all Mobs explode) ... lol.

beatiful guide. I started with this guide and the playthrough was a breeze. The edgame is also easy after u get a feeling for how much mobs u can pull before letting them all explode in one big explosion.

ALLAHU ACKBAR

I did this build since my selfmade engineer / ranger was not good at all. I did reset my skills and attributes and got this build going. Really high damage ! But since I got engineer as primary class I got the crit chance passives - 75% crit chance ;) Got lvl 40 today - still having rare to Epic gear lvl 35max so my damage and defence is still pretty low since I did not enchant or got runes ... also I only got 67% crit damage. So I got a long way go. Also still only using a bow. Great Guide :)

New player just wanting to be a solo farmwh*re. Assuming you use a bow? I realise it's a weird question but making sure!

Ok thanks for tips. Gonna give this a bash, atm lvl 21 with my ranger but struggling to solo so far lol

@Cleric this can carry a group but if you have a dedicated tank you can just activate damage passives and/or go light armor

What would you recommend for group farming?
