I was hoping someone could give a good build and gear suggestions for a level 60 soloist. I have plenty of support characters for dungeon crawls but sometimes I just want to be that forest warden who's off on his own. I tend towards archery since I was holding my breath since beta for this class.
Any ideas for a strong solo build and gear for a Sharandar/Dread Ring Hunter?
For solo I'd recommend going with a hybrid build. Archery skills stand on their own pretty well as is, the strongest feat from the tree being Correcting Aim. Building up to this point then putting the rest of the points into melee up to Lethal Hunter gives you a very good solution to monsters getting close and messing up your Aimed Shot or Split Shot.
As far as gear it depends on your stats. You're going to be looking at building to about 1000 defense, 2000 ArPen (should be about 18% resistance ignored), 3000 Critical Strike (about 35% crit rate), and the rest in power. Find the gear that manages to meet these requirements as close as possible and fill in the rest with appropriate gems
