I actually really enjoy playing a brawler ranger build similar to this to where I primarily focus on vigor and substat into Dex for group play. Being able to carry traps to cover flanks and with quick shot pushback or shotgun longbow you can add a lot of utility to the group. It works really good in low gs runs
the "meta" and gear gap certainly does exist but i love that experience and skill can usually win you at least 7/10 matches if you truly are better that your opponent. sometimes you do just have to make the call and say "you know what? im a rogue and this barb knows im here, i should probably just walk away" and that's just understanding your class ever since they removed circle and changed how escapes work there is no reason you should ever be forced into an engagement that doesnt favor you unless you cornered yourself or lack situational awareness. Rogues with Creep and stealth are kinda the exception but that's just a problem with the current state of Creep.
@@urbangent253 I'm glad to see people still repping slayer. That shit is tough to run right now, but it feels really good to just EAT squishies when you seize your engagement window.
Yes it sticks to both weapons. For example if you have sword mastery with a Morningstar and shortsword, because you are wielding a sword your morningstar also benefits from the 5% action speed and 2 weapon damage
You could just keep in mind you lose 10% weapon damage because of it being not a traditional fighter weapon and weapon mastery gives you a -10% physical
@@urbangent253 does this affect your mainhand sword even if the sword is a traditional fighter weapon? Also if you were dual wielding daggers, would that -10% physical stack to become twenty on either dagger used?
@@1brianyaffa it only applies to the non-fighter weapon so really there isnt any reason no to run Stiletto. it is kinda silly to duel wield and use your off-hand in the fight when you have a perfectly good sword in your main hand but hey maybe Urban knows something we don't
Plus you look beast, I really enjoy the low tier gear score lobbies. My friends and I like it because it's almost like running a death match game with no gear loss only profit. One of my favorite builds right now is torture mastery with a three healing neck piece, occultest Hood, and the healing gloves that takes me to six magic healing, which works out pretty well even with the torture mastery change. I know it was briefly mentioned in your video about your tier list for the under 25 and under 125 lobbies. Is that still something you're planning on doing in the near future or do you have other things that you have planned for a while before you will get a chance to get to it?
