New Ranger tech? PvP?
I've been playing around with the use of 'charges of X' items for Rangers. I have been pondering on making an Exploding Arrow/Holy Fire/Conviction Ranger that uses gloves with charges of Multishot and a HoJ bow along with maxing Conviction. I have also been thinking about using gloves with charges of Freezing Arrow and maxing Holy Freeze. The problem with these builds are obviously that charges are not too large in size so constant repair will be needed, and they're more so "I'm out of paladin subclasses to make in d2" builds :uhhuh: .
This got me thinking about a using Multishot gloves with Fanatisicm and a Wf. I've tried to make PvP Ranger's before but it's hard to lay down some serious damage with the Widowmaker, not impossible mind you though. These type of gloves would allow a much more Bowazon-style PvP Ranger, granting you the ability to fire of a small Multishot (which aren't exactly weak coming form a Fanatic Wf,) to send the opponent into stun, allowing your GA's to catch up and connect, (whether they were fired from you Holy Shock Widowmaker on switch or whatnot.) This appears to make Ranger's actually look somewhat better than bowazons in PvP thesedays, only really losing the r/w speed, which can easily be made up for with Vigor or charms etc.
Again running out of charges may be a problem, but if you've used bowazons before I really think you could get by with say 20 charges of multi for one duel.
Just like to hear some discussion on this from any Ranger-users out there.
