800 damage is *already* ridiculously high. Use the branding spell from Tenser's to make ammo that works against a majority of enemies. Save the slay evil for truly valuable targets (ie, Morgoth and possibly a couple others) CL40 Ranger is already stronger than any other class in the game, with the exception of a lucky player with an epic Sling of Buckland.
Pick up arrows by teleporting M when you run out. He will destroy a number of them with Mana Storm, so don't expect too much reuse.

I am having good luck getting my CON up on DL98. Found a better "Trickery too. I'm now at 715HP and 30K away fromCL42; my CON is 18/189. I do not have any RoS, so trading a ring of power for something else isn't really realistic. Also, would have to go back and pick up Thranduil somewhere else on the level, which means TOing a bunch of stuff again (not really a big deal). I found a short bow of Lorien <+5> but it somehow does less damage than my Amrod. Well, it has X3 multiplier, and Amrod has X4. My arrows of Holy Might do 900 vs evil. But how do I get the arrows after I finish firing them? I have yet to find any other good arrows; though these arrows of lightning do 800+ and I took down a couple Dracoliches with them.Leave a comment:

If you are short of CON, rings of power are not an optimal choice. They provide much less than CON ring or even Tulkas. Anyway, focus on killing Morgoth, not the optimal kit. A CL40 Ranger is already strong enough to win. Keep an eye out for Lothlorien bows(+5), which will kill Morgoth in something like 30 turns, 800+ damage per turn vs evil.Leave a comment:

I haste self whenever its necessary since I have 313 SP. I find keeping things asleep as long as possible is very helpful. When I find good arrows I will probably go back to elvenkind shield to go back to legendary stealth. Of course there is the off chance I will go the DW route and totally rearrange my setup. I have to admit it is tempting, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing it with less than 800HP and I currently have 612, though that may go up when I shuffle around my gear, but I am enjoying this stealthy play with awesome spellpower.
I guess it doesn't really matter if a swarm of black reavers and Demi-Liches are headed my way. TO some of them away and crush the others in a few rounds. I just might try it. HMMMMMMM. I have two ?DD so I could start the end bosses right now. I have 3 rods of TO to compensate the loss of SP. but no means of temporary haste self other than my spell book since I tossed my !speeds. I shoulda kept the !speeds and tossed Arvedui. I dunno why I was thinking I might use it at the end, except that it has +2 STR. That is the only reason I kept it. I'm gonna shuffle for DW and report back on my stats.
If Wielding Deathwreaker
So this isn't terrible: my SP is still 215, and I'm still not maxed on INT. I can get 4.7 Blows/round wearing <+6> CON ring, but because Oromë was providing <+4> speed, even though I have Trickery equipped I'm at 18 base speed with the <+10> boots. I guess I could try this setup against Sauron and see how it goes. I could wear Tulkas but then I will be less than 600HP. I wonder if I should wait a little longer before making the switch. If I wear Dal-a-thalion and Weaponmastery I can get my To-Dam up significantly at the cost of speed: base speed will be 10 speed instead of 18, but I'll be doing 1280 vs Undead, 690 vs animals and Evil, 886 vs Dragons. Looks like I might melee Morgoth in the end after all. 20 speed while hasted isn't bad with that sort of dam output. I have to admit I never tire of playing warrior style.
With +18 speed setup I'm doing 1167 vs Undead, 609 vs Evil and 795 vs Dragons.
I suppose once I find a good helm of might I might be able to swap out the CON ring for SPEED ring. I'm wondring if Tuklas will be used at all? Maybe Tulkas and ROS? Seems crazy not to use a ring of power, though. Proof against fire, ESP and Regen are kinda clutch (though for the final battle I will have lots of !Mana Restores).
I DD with my setup before, but swapped out Ingwe for Trickery. Just quaffed another !CON and my HP went from 612 to 672.Last edited by Grotug; January 3, 2017, 23:32.Leave a comment:

Why do you wear those +6 boots of Elvenkind instead of the +10 speed boots? To me, stealth and feather falling seem much, much less important than 4 points of speed -- especially if you are below +20, because that means getting double-breathed.Leave a comment:

MY HP is 496 and my SP 305. I'm currently trying to finish off a pit of As.

My HP is now 551.Last edited by Grotug; January 3, 2017, 21:43.Leave a comment:

Time to switch to Deathwreaker and go kill Morgoth. The +4CON will take you to 750HP or better. That's enough to kill him with arrows, if you are careful and have enough suppplies. Do keep a sharp eye for slay evil/Holy Might seeker/Miithril. Wounding ammo will work very well too. Post a dump! Advice without one is often wrong.Leave a comment:

dude, you can buy a stack of 1d4 (+0, +0) arrows from the market and enchant them to frost or lightning (+12, +12), enough for 1k dmg.Leave a comment:

I'm faced with saving stuff at home issues: I Need to drop at least one weapon I'm saving but I can't decide between ToW, MoD Holy Avenger (+21 hurts Demons as well as Undead) or DW which seems maybe wholly unsuited for my approach.
Or I could drop the dwarven chaos armor or Arvedui but dropping arvedui would force me to wear Trickery for the final fights (for rNexus).
As fun and devastating as wielding DW would be, I think I would die while making the radical adjustment in playstyle I've been enjoying of sneaking and choosing my battles. I hate the idea of closing the door on that unique opportunity to do massive melee damage, though. Should I drop Tow? I'm saving ToW in the event I come to no longer need the INT and Speed boosts from Oromë since ToW does significantly better damage. I did drop Raal's.
I just found a ring of CON <+6> and quaffed another !CON and three !Experience so I'm CL40 now with 456HP. If I ditch all my good bolts (a lot of them) and take up Amrod (with only a handful of good arrows) my HP goes up to 496. Maybe it is time to switch to arrows since I'm CL40 Ranger, but I hate to throw away good bolts (slay demons, slay undead, slay evil, high to-dam wounding etc.)
Even with the lackluster amrod bow my holy might arrows do over 900 vs evil and 1058 vs demons and undead.Leave a comment:

Yep. 391 HP is not quite enough to use Deathwreaker at depth. But you are getting there. Remember, those damage calcs are nominal: against a lot of enemies, you will miss roughly half the time--or more.Leave a comment:

I shuffled my gear around some more and if I wield DW (MoD on steroids) I do 866 vs dragons and those not resistant to fire, 669 vs Animals and Evil, 1260 vs Undead and my HP goes from 305 up to 391 (switching to Amrod from haradrim). My CON/STR/DEX are sustained, and my SP goes from 289 to 82 and every resistance is covered. So this may be a good endgame setup if I can find some CON potions. Not sure I want to use this setup right now, though, given my HP is still so low.
I assume aggravation ignores my stealth bonuses?Leave a comment:

Raal's is useless for Ranger and Rogue. Attack Spells take way too much mana, and do less damage than melee or archery. Kelek is useful for a ranger for *Destruction* spell.Leave a comment:

I honestly forgot Coluin's ability (just looked it up). Right, that would negate Resistances book.
I guess I was kinda hoping to fight Morgoth some other way since I went the hobbit ranger route and not the HT Warrior route. I'm torn about dropping dwarven necklace and taking MoD. I kinda think I should.
Hmm... maybe I should drop Amrod instead. Or Scarabtarices, or neither since the MoD is on the other end of the vault and will have to risk going up the hallway outside the vault to get to it without monster detection because I dropped all my other detection books to make room for the loot I'm taking home. HMM....
I dropped Necklace of Dwarves, picked up my reveal monsters spellbook, grabbed the MoD and went home.
But how many dangerous monsters start awake? I have pStun so I'm not presently worried about plasma hounds.
I'm afraid I will die while making the adjustment from ranger to melee. Still can't get over how much damaget that MoD does when swapping around my gear. I'd still have Heroic stealth, too, with that setup, but my SP falls to 145.
This elemental brand business is the business: Bought 20 bolts; a ?*Enchant weapon* from the BM, now my bolts are (+3, +3). Branded those bolts and now they are (+9, +9) dealing 418dam to non fire resisting creatures. Can't way till I get my hands on a good bow! I'll be dealing a minimum 600 to non resisting creatures. I believe I get <+2> shots when I reach CL40 (CL38 atm).
Well, that was a short trip. I found DW lying on the ground. So how does aggravation work, is it a set amount of reduction to stealth (like -6 or something) or does it set your stealth to a certain amount (like, really bad)? Wielding this weapon my character would be solved. This is ridiculous that I don't find !CON. I'll have a solved character doing 600+ to evil and nearly 1200 to Undead with 353HP. Surely such a lopsided setup is unprecedented in this game?
