I have read thru a few posts on this subject and got some really good info.
Now, I just have a couple question b4 I commit to a tat setup.
I am currently a lvl 43 Phantom Ranger. I will be going full Doom lite when I hit B-Grade. From the research I have done, I have found that Dex is extremely important for the PR. I am thinking of going either +2Dex-2Str and +3Dex-3 Con or +2 Dex-2Con and +3 Dex-3Str. What are ppls thoughts on this setup?
and this leads to my second question: Would it be worth adding more Dex by dectacting from some of the other attributes for example minus some int or wit?
I do not think that fighters truly benefit from tattoos that are within the Int/Wit/Men pool, unless they are trying to work with their drains.
You do not want to touch your strength, especially as a PR, who has high strength to begin with. Its much more efficient to subtract your Con all the way and become a glass cannon rather than trying to win at both fronts. I realize that DEs get stunned easily, and with the -Con you will get stunned even more, but a good archer, especially one with +8 Dex, shouldn't be getting into melee anyway.
+5 Dex -5 Con (+3 and +2, respectively), and then with the Doom Light it should give you +8.
Man... setting up a PR is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Being a DE ( great Str, terrible Con, ) as well as an archer ( reliance on Dex ), I was at a loss. Try as I might, I could'nt think of a setup that didn't hurt me in the end.
You know what I ended up doing? +5 str, +4 dex, -9 con, and using PL set to the bitter end.
Needless to say, it didn't work out... so I rerolled.
