Does picking up Extended Spellbook and moving things around using it help? So drop 1A from level 1, get extended spellbook and put it as your 3rd level 5 option. You would probably still have to go without 5C for a level to get it up to level 9 but you'll have 1A the whole time. Once you're...

13 con at the start does mean that you can get armour specialisation hide later.

1 big advantage of going for the Archer build is it is needed to to go the Battlefield Archer paragon path which is (I think) still the best paragon path for an archer ranger. A lot of how useful defensive mobility is compared to toughness comes down to how aggressive you are in positioning...

I've got a Battlefield Archer who can currently quarry 4 targets and I'm just about to get the level 20 attack that attacks each quarry target. The problem is that's not going to be all that attractive an attack until I've got at least 3 enemies quarried which takes 3 rounds. Are there any...

I've got an Archer ranger who's closing in on level 20 so getting closish to selecting an epic destiny. What epic destinies do people think are good or fun for an archer ranger (multiclass rogue with 1 feat if that makes a difference)

Oversized weapons are broken iirc the lead developer has said that no standard PC race will ever get the ability.

There was a change in design in monsters (especially solos iirc) between MMi & MMII

To get the "almost guaranteed" hit (and it actually adds 4.5 on average to a reroll so you'll average 14 but get below 10 almost 1 in 4) you expend an encounter power and have 2 feats invested that only have an effect when you use the power. I don't see it as overpowered

The problem with Shield Push is that it moves the target away from the fighter so you may stop the opportunity attack but they are out of range and can go after other people.

True that Twin Strike doesn't get Dex/Str damage however it does get all the other static modifiers depending upon the situation my 18th level archer ranger does d12 + 10 to d12+17 per attack with twin strike versus (using feats that give +2 to damage with combat advantage, +2 to damage if...

Twin Strike will do more damage than a basic attack. I suppose it's possible that a basic attack might do more damage after damage reduction

I'd be a little cautious about granting a free standard action on a critical on a minion because of area affects and multiple attacks. So critting a minion in a fireball shouldn't give a wizard another standard action and I'm not sure that critting on a minion when you're attacking it with 1...

As others have pointed out they get more exciting with levelling. To the point where crit fishing builds seem to be very popular. Once you start getting max damage on attacks with multiple dice base damage and adding a few more additional dice from the weapon then they get enough of a power...

I suspect that the even array in the first post is usable if you've got a racial modifier to the main ability score for the class.

Yes it's a wrong assumption. All 4th ed D&D damage types will affect any creature unless it has a resistance or immunity. Consider what it would do to ranged clerics or Paladins if Radient damage only affected undead....

Just remember that there's 2 steps to equipping new equipment 1) Buy it which adds it to the equipment list 2) choose it in the equipped items section of the builder to show that you're actually using it.

It really depends on what you're playing. The only 4th ed Character I've played is an archer ranger so the most attacks I make in 1 action is 3 I have pairs of d20s and d12s in yellow, red and green and determine which of them is attacking which target before I roll (on the rare occasions when...

Darklord, I think you are confusing double weapons with offhand weapons Unless you've got a special ability that lets you do it you can only use an offhand weapon in the second hand (examples are daggers, short sword etc) Double weapons count as offhand weapons You don't get to attack with...

Responding to Felon If you're a dedicated Ranged Ranger you're pumping dex and wisdom rather than strength So you miss with hth attacks If you go str and dex then you lose some effectiveness with a lot of powers and have to maintain 3 weapons. As an archer ranger your ranged attacks are a lot...

I don't see why 2 weapon style is better, there's a fair case for beastmaster. Using 2 weapon style a dedicated archer can miss with 2 larger weapons a round in melee compared to missing with 1 large and 1 off-hand. Toughness versus defensive mobility is far from a given as well. I don't knock...
