Thoughts?

I know I probably should've gone with a more strength oriented class... but hey, Its far too late for me to switch now (lvl 50)

Notice how many points it uses? never going to happen.


I tried making a two hand sword ranger as well, but it just isn't that good takes a lot more points to be comparable to a maurader. You can do a build like that with a marauder that is actually quite good, of course you still have the drawback of cleave having to be really close to mobs. ground slam just makes maces superior, but if you are just playing for fun for yourself then i say go for it. what does your tree look like now at lvl 50?

Well, currently the tree only has elemental damage increases, and quite a bit of armor and health bonuses.

Unfortunately, I find myself in a difficult position in fights, mainly due to dying to magic and above tier of creatures.

I first used an axe to benefit from the sweep, but I noticed the Life on Hit gem does not benefit as much due to the slow attack speed of the Axe.

I switched to a 2H sword, and it got better, however I still die a lot...

Now I'm experimenting on a 1H sword + shield combo, and it seems to work about the same as the 2H,
