LA Builds... Start from Duelist or Ranger?
" Duelist is better at melee then a bow starting out? LOL ok...w/e you say bud. 30% of nothing is still NOTHING.. You have such weak evasion and armor early game the extra evasion on ranger tree is a fart in the wind.. :) Also duelist has leather and steel + 2 other evasion nodes at the start. In total the ranger only has an extra 8% over the duelist at the cost of everything else. I still lol at everyone who continue to roll rangers for archery :P Last edited by AthenaUS#7001 on May 20, 2013, 6:08:22 PM

" The thing people seem to miss is the late game. Who cares about the early first levels which are easy anyways? You know you can gain more HP as a duelist then a ranger but even gain more dmg due to you are closer to everything that's important then a Ranger is? I'm not sure if you haven't seen the new Duelist tree or not, or you're just disillusional. Let's make a very very simple thing here shall we? I will just take my own aura build to make this as simple as possible even. This is how you can make a duelist build at lvl 100. Stats.

Best of two worlds, can even change some points so you get even more life, but still more hp and survivability then a ranger by miles. You talk about evasion? Wow, seems like you dont know how the current meta game works. HP > all. Now, lets try it out with a ranger instead. Stats.

Duelist are far supperior in end game due to how its placed in the tree and how it starts. Rearrange the skills as much as you want, just made a fast ranger tree with as close a duelist i could. So the conclution, if you want a class that does more dmg with bows, attacks faster and have it easyer to gain accses to the better part of the tree.. you should go duelist. And please dont give me that evasion crap again, i will just ignore you. :) -edit- Even missed this, +5% to maximum Fire Resistance +5% to maximum Cold Resistance +5% to maximum Lightning Resistance from the ranger tree, so take away 8% health also.
