Build guide

Single-Target DPS / Solo

The community's most-played hero for solo content. Fastest attack speed in the game, 40% base crit, and multiple Dodge Chance passive lines make the Ranger both powerful and survivable — without needing heavy gear investment early on.

Affix priorities

Crit Chance — 40% base means a modest investment pushes reliable crits
Crit Damage — amplifies every crit at an already-high rate
Projectile Damage % — boosts every basic attack and Rapid Fire
Attack Speed — the Ranger's core stat; stacks directly
Dodge Chance — the Ranger's defensive layer; several passive lines invest here

Rune priorities

All Hero Attack Speed — biggest multiplier for basic attack output
All Hero Attack Damage % — base damage is low; a percentage lift compounds with crit

Tips

Skewer Shot has a unique mod that triggers extra effects on Bleed — check the Modifiers page for gear that enhances it.
Swift Surge is a repositioning tool, not a damage spike. Use it to dodge boss projectiles.
Arrow Rain provides AoE coverage; combine with Scatter Shot for dense-wave Torment farming.
