User:Kableka/RaO Thumper

A classic Rampage as One Ranger, but with a scythe instead of a hammer or axe for AoE damage. Though RaO is so energy intensive that it usually makes costly scythe attacks unusable (leaving the ranger without a source of Deep Wound, as it also prevents elite scythe attacks), this build packs Scavenger Strike to compensate while also raising your pet's damage.

Skills and Attributes
[build prof=r/d exp=10+1 scyth=11 beast=10+1+1] [Rampage as One][Crippling Victory][Pious Assault][Eremite's Attack][Scavenger Strike][Comfort Animal][Charm Animal][Resurrection Signet] [/build]

Usage

 * Use RaO for super power.
 * Use Crippling Victory against foes with lower health to cripple them, and Pious Assault to inflict Deep Wounds.
 * Use Scavenger Strike on foes suffering from conditions to keep your energy up.

Variants

 * An additional pet attack such as [[Poisonous Bite@12] or [[Disrupting Lunge@12].
 * An alternative scythe attack, such as [[Zealous Sweep@11] for more energy management.
 * [[Rending Touch] for great enchantment removal.
 * [[Apply Poison] (put spare points into Wilderness Survival) for poison-spreading, and thus more pressure.
 * [[Otyugh's Cry@12] or [[Feral Aggression@12] will lessen your own damage (by virtue of taking up a skill slot), but increase your pet's.
 * Taking a major Expertise rune will give you less health or energy, but make your skills cheaper (good if you struggle with Scavenger Strike)
 * In AB or CM, replace your res sig with an additional skill. A defensive skill or self-heal such as [[Lightning Reflexes@11] or [[Victorious Sweep@11] may be desirable.
