Hello again! The crazy build guy has struck again. This time by special request! So here you go, Liz!
I got this idea from Dirkdaring’s post yesterday, and thought I would flesh it out into a full build.
This is my rendition of the Demon Hunter from Diablo 3. It combines ranged combat with trap-like abilities, CC and evasive defenses... not to mention a fat helping of anti-daedric/undead/werewolf abilities!
This build can be easily modified for other enemy types, including AvA. Replacing fighter’s guild abilities with other bow skills would be ideal in these situations.
Enjoy!
---------------
Race: Bosmer
This is just a personal preference. Khajit or Redguard would probably work just as well. Bosmer offers increased bow skill leveling speed, Extra damage from stealth, and extra stamina.
Weapon: Bow
Armor: Medium 7/7
Attributes: 30 Health, 0 Magicka, 19 Stamina
Damage will come mainly from stamina usage, so high stamina and stamina regen are very important. Magicka will be reserved for CC and trap abilities.
Mundus Stone: The Warrior, The Shadow or The Steed
The Warrior stone increases weapon damage, while The Shadow increases critical hit damage. The Steed increases movement speed. Any of these would work for this build.
Guild rank requirement: Fighter’s Guild – Rank 10, Undaunted – Rank 2
Bar 1 – Offense/Anti-Abomination
Slot 1-1: Venom Arrow - This is our primary source of DPS. Deals poison damage, which bypasses armor. It also interrupts and stuns spell casters.
Slot 1-2: Magnum Shot – Damages, knocks back and disorients the target. You jump backwards.
Slot 1-3: Silver Shards – You whip out a hand crossbow and shoot up to 3 targets. Stuns, knocks down and has a 5% chance to cause extreme damage to daedra, undead and werewolves. Truly epic.
Slot 1-4: Lightweight Beast Trap – You toss a trap which deals magic damage and immobilizes. Daedra, undead and werewolves all take extra damage. Burn baby, burn!
Slot 1-5: Evil Hunter – Gives you a 20% chance to deal extra damage to undead, daedra and werewolves and restores stamina to you. Lasts 13 seconds. Killing a daedra, undead or werewolf while active extends the duration. Kill streak, anyone?
Slot 1-U: Flawless Dawnbreaker – Deals magic damage in a cone, with extra damage to daedra, undead and werewolves. Most importantly, it passively buffs weapon damage by 13% when slotted. Booyah!
Bar 2 – Defense/CC
Slot 2-1: Streak – Teleports player forward, deals shock damage and disorients enemies in the path for 2 seconds. An excellent escape spell.
Slot 2-2: Shadow Silk – Damages and snares the target, but also opens a synergy for allies that summons two black widow spiders to attack the enemy. We’re definitely seeing the darker side of this character.
Slot 2-3: Shattering Prison – Immobilizes up to 3 targets for 5 seconds, and deals damage when the effect ends. Due to the passive skill Exploitation, targets affected by this ability have a higher chance of being critically hit.
Slot 2-4: Daedric Tomb – summons 3 mines in a line, which damage and immobilize targets when they explode. Due to the passive skill Exploitation, targets affected by this ability have a higher chance of being critically hit.
Slot 2-5: Elude – With 7 pieces of medium armor, this ability gives you a 22% chance to dodge attacks for 23 seconds.
Slot 2-U: Absorbtion Field – Dispells enemy effects in the area, silences and stuns monsters. Restores health and magicka for each successful dispel. Lasts 9.5 seconds.
