[QUOTE="N8Ball, post: 4842886, member: 63757"] I see the problem, but let's look at a fair comparison. How does this build compare to another strong striker build, like a Daggermaster rogue with the same magic items and perhaps a vicious dagger? Between the dramatically better to-hit chance (+3 weap, weapon talent, nimble blade) and the much better crit range, I bet the DPS is close. Also, what kind of encounter powers does this guy have since almost all the ranger powers require 2 weapons? Has he sunk all his feats into power swaps? There's a price he's paid for his awesomness and perhaps the apparent brokenness comes from not seeing all the other awesome combinations he's passed up. The ranger in our group has multiclassed into Rogue and is going for Death dealer. It's going to be really sick when he uses an action point on a 3[W]x2 power and adds 6 striker dice with EACH DAMAGE DIE getting a +2. There's some outrageous damage for you. Oh and by the way, my character is a tactical warlord with all the dressings, so he's deninitely going to hit (+3/+5 on APs)and have some more damage on top of it all. [/QUOTE]
