The Close Ranger

Embrace Voodoo peak No Prestige Needed

Spells

Cast the lightning. Ride the lightning. Become The Lightning.

Spells

Speedster's cap is at 90% Movement Speed, 90% MS=45% Damage/Fire Rate. This build puts a focus on starting your fights by popping Wisp, and immediately following it up by popping Thunderstrike, and waiting till Flame Wisp seeks out which ever target it can see with the highest total health pool, then landing on Wisps target to convert it to a Lightning Wisp to ramp up Kills Per Second. Sniper kills cycle your cooldowns at a rate of 1s per kill in addition to Battlemage's 1% reduction, letting you frequently pop this combo, while also serving as a Boss Damage tool. Your Bow excels at clearing tightly clustered packs of melee enemies, and allows you to both generate piles of Ammo and Gold for the Wandering Trader via Ammo Supply and Gold Tooth(x3).

Snipers giving you trouble? Do you feel the need to get to the objective first and have to wait 45 seconds for everyone else to show up? How about roleplaying scout from DRG and dying as far away from your teammates as physically possible, aggroing every Horseman and Lich in a 2 mile radius to your ally's location? This is my current favorite build! You hit the right breakpoint to be able to one shot bodyshot a Deadeye. Bow for chaff and wave clear, Long Ranger for everything else. You won't win any dps races against a Horseman, but Deadeyes and Lich's will fear you. Additional thoughts at bottom!
