Just been messing around with different troll builds lately. I love my shout/glyph lb/staff ranger, but this has just been hilarious to play and ridiculously troll.
This is a pure kiting build, it’s meant to be as frustrating as possible for someone to try and reach you. Not a stay in the fight and get ripped apart build. You don’t have much condi cleanse, but you do have a lot of get out of jail free cards.
Perks of the build:
> Lots of bleeds. SB AA, Crippling shot, Spike trap, double Sigils of blood, Split blade on Axe, Dagger 5, Hidden Barbs for 33% more bleed damage, Ancient Seeds and Entangle for more bleeding lolz. 20% bleed duration + Vipers duration on SB10% from Light on your Feet+ 60% from TE. I wish sharpened edges was elsewhere =(
>Lots of Cripple. So much Cripple it makes Jimmy from South Park look like an Olympic marathon runner. All traps cause Cripple, Crippling shot, Dagger 5, Wolf attack, Natural Convergence, and 20% cripple duration on axe/dagger + Vipers condi duration10% from Light on your Feet+ 60% from TE
> Immob. I have literally kept someone immobilized for the entire engagement. Spider f2, Entangle, Ancient Seeds, 10% duration from Light on your Feet+Vipers, 60% from TE.
> POIZN, poison, poison from spider, Poison Volley, Dagger 4, and you could always swap in some Doom sigils if you wanted to get rid of the bleed/cripp duration sigils, still playing around with that.
You do have access to quite a few chills and burns as well via Axe, flame trap, frost trap, and you get a fear from wolfie.
You have a chance to proc Ancient Seeds from SB 5, Spike Trap, and Wolf attack. Plenty of opportunities to do so if you’re quick enough.
Now here is the fun part of the build I enjoy. Super speed and Stealth. You get 2 seconds of Superspeed and Stealth when you use a trap Via Tapper Runes, this is your get out of jail free card, get into some deep kitten, turn the other way, drop some traps, and bounce. You also get stealth and super speed from Celestial Shadow. So tons of ways to re-position and confuse/outlast your opponent.
Let me know what you guys think, I don’t always enjoy playing meta and need a break to keep things fun and interesting, and this build has definitely delivered that. Let me know where you would make changes/improvements.
