How... To... Do.... It....First, ignore any advice about taking Dexterity.  Dexterity + Beast Companion = WRONG.You.  Want.  Strength.  Ignore any advice about Dexterity being good for Shamans.  It's a support thing at best, and you can build -around- not having it.1) I like Nimble Strike.  A lot.  2) Believe it or not, Twin Strike is not helping you in the support role.  Neither is Protector's Strike really synergizing with anything.  Stalker's Strike will both be more supportive in terms of upping damage of your friends, AND synergizes with the beast companion.  (edit: Watcher's Strike is better)3) Using a bow means switching between bow and totem a LOT.  Better just to use a Totemic Spear and get in melee, which Beast Masters actually want to do for the free flanking.  You don't need to be adjacent to the enemy, as the long spear has reach.4) Why twin-wield distance axes when you don't two-weapon melee?So.====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Irena, level 4Human, Ranger|ShamanHybrid Ranger: Hybrid Ranger ReflexCompanion Spirit (Hybrid): Stalker Spirit (Hybrid)Hybrid Shaman: Hybrid Shaman FortitudeHybrid Talent: Ranger Fighting StyleRanger Fighting Style: Beast Mastery (Hybrid)Beast Companion Type: LizardBackground: Windrise Ports, Occupation - Artisan (Windrise Ports Benefit)FINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 16, Con 13, Dex 10, Int 10, Wis 16, Cha 8.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 16, Con 13, Dex 10, Int 10, Wis 16, Cha 8.AC: 18 Fort: 17 Reflex: 14 Will: 16HP: 40 Surges: 7 Surge Value: 10TRAINED SKILLSPerception +10, Athletics +9, Stealth +6, Nature +10, Endurance +7UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +1, Arcana +2, Bluff +1, Diplomacy +1, Dungeoneering +5, Heal +5, History +2, Insight +5, Intimidate +1, Religion +2, Streetwise +1, Thievery +1FEATSHuman: Ghostwalker StyleLevel 1: Battle-Scarred VeteranLevel 2: Hybrid TalentLevel 4: Armor Proficiency (Chainmail)POWERSBonus At-Will Power: Predator StrikeHybrid at-will 1: Watcher's StrikeHybrid at-will 1: Nimble StrikeHybrid encounter 1: Ironbreaker ClawsHybrid daily 1: Driving the QuarryHybrid utility 2: Pack AlertnessHybrid encounter 3: Encircle the PreyITEMSTotemic Spear Longspear +1, ChainmailRITUALSRaise Beast Companion====== Copy to Clipboard and Press the Import Button on the Summary Tab ======Oh, and yeah, totally, Longtooth Shifter go.</blockquote>
