[1.3 ]Namtro's ambush 12k Spectral Throw/ 53k Double Strike Ranger

Namtro's Spectral Throw Double Strike Ranger

This character was very effective in end game maps. I used it in the beginning, middle and end of the 4 month ambush/invasion league, as well as playing in the 2w and not dieing with it, was in the top 200 playing pretty casually compared to most.

Merciless: Alira

Leveling Gear
Wurm's Molt : Life/Mana Leech and Life

Might Flay : Lower level dagger with decent dps. Something with more critical chance would be better.

Ungil's Gauche : Decent Low Level Dagger

Slitherpinch : Life/Mana Leech and Attack Speed

Perandus Signet : Mana/Mana Regen


Your gear should have a combination of:
Life
Resists until capped
1k+ armor shield
2% mana leech on gear (ammy/ring/gloves/weapon)

your dagger should have:
Critical chance of 8.5%+
percent physical with flat physical
Attack Speed
Critical Damage

in that order, bino's kitchen knife is a good option for a dagger instead of what I used.



That was the gear highlight between the ambush league and the 2w. I used Meginord's and Abyssus at the end to see how high I could get my damage, the area effect damage was alright with a 12k spectral throw, where it shined the most was in single target with 53k dps.

The Gems:

Spectral Throw
Quality Power Charge On Critical Hit 20%
Critical Damage
Lesser Multiple Projectile
Physical Projectile Damage



The bread part of your combination. This skill generates power charges on critical hits making your critical chance for all your skills higher. You are also able to handle double reflect (with out abyssus) and single refect with Ondar's guile in combination with a decent evasion rate/block chance. A 20% power charge on critical hit is a must, a level 1 20% is like a normal level 20 power charge on critical hit.

Double Strike
Multi-Strike
Melee Physical
Critical Damage



The Butter part of your combination. The double strike gains all of the benefits from the power charges your spectral throw generates, and is also a huge reason to have power charge on critical hit. Easily making this skill do absurd damage.

Aura:
Hatred
Vitality/Determination/Grace

I used all of these auras as situational choices and depending on my max mana from gear.

level 1 whirling blades
faster attacks
power charge on critical

Used to keep out of harms way when need be, as well as gaining power charges from critting.

Can you give us a guide on which passives to pick while leveling?

Also, when should i start using daggers?

thanks in advance!

Hey, awesome skill tree! The only thing I would change is skip the block nodes around command of steel and get some of the life/es hybrid nodes on the top.
