Ranger Templar?

Ranger Templar?

i was hoping to get some input about a semi combination of a ranger and a templar... basically the skills would look like this:

20 Fanat
20 FoH
20 Conviction
remainder of skills in synergies for FoH

unlike the Storm Ranger guide, this would focus on physical damage with the bow, with a helping hand in lit damage from FoH. This build would also be based on using Widowmaker, probably pvm but possibly pvp.

Does it stand a chance in hell of being effective? Is it a stupid idea?

FoH's synergy is holy shock... which is the main skill for a storm ranger. How about something more like this?

20 Fanat
20 FoH
20 Holy Shock
10+ Conviction (Enough to get to slvl 25, where the -resists cap)
15+ Resist Lightning (Synergy for holy shock)
1+ Holy Shield (I'm sure you'll have a HoZ and Wizzy/HoBL on switch... this could prove to be useful.)

Seems fun... would give you 3 good options of what to do... FoH, Physical ranger, or HS ranger. :thumbsup:

This is just a Shock Ranger that dumps the Salvation synergy for Fanatisicm vs Light immunes. I've tried this and the main problems are that FoH doesn't do enough damage w/o +skills and charms, and if you tweak it to FoH it's just a weak Templar. Also Fanat does jack damage do to the not-so-highphysicalk damage of the bow and your gear is +skills not ED. Freeze is just a better LI killer than fanat as your gear still complements it, and FoH really has no place :/

I think that FoH would have a place for pvp with this character though, since you'd make everyone stack against you and can then pull the fanatic ranger on them.

It sounds like a different kind of V/T to me... Same idea. Sounds like its worth a shot. Have fun with it.

The ranger I plan to make is with HS and HF, but this just seems like fun. That's all I said... I doubt it'll be more effective than HS and HF, but it is a fun variant.
