Build Request: Rambo!

I would like a First Blood type build. No guns or grenades(maybe smoke), but more of that slash slash, punch punch....shoot you with my bow and arrow type of build.

What's a good bases?

    I'm not fully sure how to throw this build together, since it's a bit of an odd mix of attacks, but here's an attempt at it anyways:

    It'd mostly want to be up in melee, but it can also play at ranged a bit w/ Torrent of Arrows and Straight Shot (and you can use Torrent of Arrows as an opener from Sneak, if you want). In melee, it uses Scything Blade and Slash for AoE, and alternates between Slash and charged DU for single-target dps. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and Rec (and cost discount on gear).

  • I suppose I could do less punchy punchy and stick with slashy slashy and loosey loosey! Perhaps that would help more?

    Well, the only normal punch attack in there is DU (not counting the energy builder), but it should work just fine w/ the rest (and Dragon's Rush gives you lots of energy to work with when using it). If you wanted the build to be more cohesive, you could use Dragon's Bite or Wrath instead to make better use of Shredded, but you wouldn't have a basic punching attack then. As for the Archery side, in CO you can't fully optimize both ranged and melee at the same time, so you'll just have to choose which one matters to you more. My build can work okay as is, though, provided you're into more of a melee focus.
