Death Must Die – Bask in Lorien’s Greatness (Ranger Build Guide)

Quick Guide to Lorien Ranger Build

The objective of this build is to attack quickly, crit often, and set off your strongest strikes non-stop.

Tier 1

  • Marksman (15% Strike Damage): Obvious choice here for more strike damage
  • Innate Prescience (+4 Alterations): Needed to get the blessings you want, and to try and get Legendarys.

Tier 2

  • Rapid Fire (5% Attack and Cast Speed): Really just taking for the attack speed, but maybe you’ll take Light Rays later.
  • Prestige (+4 Rerolls): Again, needs to get the blessings you want and Legendarys.

Tier 3

  • Sharpened Edges (+3 Pierce): You’ll want to hit as many enemies as possible, to trigger crits for your strikes.

Tier 4

  • Charisma (15% Luck): Useful for your strikes, main attack, and other utility you might pick up.
  • Ranger’s Mark (30% Marked Chance): Will give 30% damage (50% later) to all enemies marked…this is why we want to hit as many enemies as possible.

Tier 5

  • Serpentine Tips (4% Immobilize): Only putting one point in this to get rest of tree.

Tier 6

  • Hunter (10% Crit Against Marked): Crit is crucial for triggering our strikes need from Bask of Greatness.

Tier 7

  • Enchanted Arrow (+1 Bounce): Again, let’s hit as many enemies as possible.
  • Flex (4% Crit): Crit is crucial for triggering our strikes need from Bask of Greatness.
  • Marked for Death: (50% Marked Damage): Increased Marked damage to 50%.

Tier 8

  • Bask in Greatness (Trigger 3 Strikes): This is obviously the bread an butter of the build, with all the attacks, and crits, you will be shooting your strikes out nonstop!

Gods

Leigong (Lightning)

  • Split Second Attack: Your main attack, will do a ton of damage, and help trigger your strikes.
  • Tornadoes: Your 2nd main Strike, will do good damage, and provide CC with picking up enemies.
  • Hurricane: Only take if you have +1 strike slot, other wise pass.

Ninh (Earth)

  • Rock Spike: Your main DPS, will do huge amounts, and also provide a stun.
  • Outreach: Will increase your Strike Area, really beneficial for Rock Spike and Tornado.

Lady Justice (Tank/Support)

  • You won’t need another DPS god, and honestly you probably don’t want another one. I’d pick anything here you think will help you survive. Also she has really good Legendary’s so let’s hope you get some!

Fates

  • Extra Projectiles, and +Crit%
  • Gear Focus

Master/Legendary > Attack Crit > Attack Speed > Life Steal > Strike Damage > Attack Damage.

I hope this was helpful to you!

  1. strike damage % is also extremely diminishing (if you get modifiers either from gear or ingame) if you choose the first row for it to max, there are definitely better choices – overall better to limit stuff that diminishes very easily like luck and strike damage etc to choose better modifiers

  2. Minor notes, taking just one of either tornado or earth spike and leveling nets higher average damage at most points in the run. While it’s possible to get more than one strike to master your damage will suffer compared to the rate it just takes to level one. Most of your procs come from BiG. Of note some extra attack crit on your gear goes a long way since without fates or extra from gear it starts pretty low.

    Extra strike projectiles is also quite good and probably the best scaling red text mod.
