This is my build for a Sidhe called shot zen ranger
It is aimed at Hell/Ely/Abo/Abyss and excells in these areas
Its been a bunch of LL and endgame runs and its been a lot of fun
Pro's:
103 AB
135 AC
64 fort, 65 ref, 71 will
60-65% concealment (altered by bard song and hell pens)
Called Shot DC 61 (can get an extra 2 with ego and double demi)
Can CS every vulnerable mob in these areas
Urob/PoM/Hive bows give 7D8 elemental damage
max discipline and listen, very high concentration
max search - with elf keen senses allowing search checks without the need for search mode and your own restore spells being free actions you can check spots really quickly, without slowing the party (though with listed gear setup you do need song)
Con's:
very vulnerable to str and dex checks
no parry
damage is relatively low
no form of greater sanctuary, got to rely on pots
have to spam called shot every 6 seconds
List of favored enemys taken:
outsiders
aberrations
shapechangers
animals
vermin
magical beasts
monstrous humanoids
dragons
reptilian humanoids
elves
humans
undead (for extra AB/damage)
Elf sidhe pure ranger
