As someone with no grandparents it's so heartwarming that you're close to yours. So many people squander it and they don't even know. Much love man. Thanks for another banger
It's a fun spec for sure! Same category as Dragon Warrior though - should either be brought down a bit in terms of dps, or other Legendary Enchants should be given a buff to allow them to compete! -Xaquillen
Love seeing you take on the Dark Ranger! It's already becoming my absolute favorite build because of how fun they were to play with in Warcraft 3. Can't wait to see you cover the rest, man! Glad the audio issue was easily resolved! - Sylasmira
Dark ranger build oh yeah! Just started dragonflight earlier. So far I'm enjoying the expansion, it does seem focused on the exploration aspect of the game and I love it. So probably when I get home I'm going to try out this build or stay Pure Shadow on my spell character. Who was once a Hydromancer, aptly named Hydrodeath.on the horde side of the thrall server. Appreciate everything you do Mcdubs, and hopefully see you in game from either side. Keep being your beautiful self man. 💖✨🌟💖
I'm glad to see this. I made a Dark Ranger build on live retail as a marksman hunter, but it's really not that impressive. So when I saw them on Ascension I knew I had to do it. I'm playing one on the League 4 server right now as a build draft and I'm loving it. I do question some of the ability choices they've made.. They seem determined to put Life Tap in every build. Dark Ranger does struggle with mana and doing damage until you get the actual Dark Ranger RE going, then it shoots up in efficiency. I'm pretty consistent second DPS in the mid 30s, only because the only AOE I have right now is Dark Artillery. I'm eager to hit 60. I want to keep the build and fine tune it outside the build draft limits.
just started season 8 for the first time and i have no idea what to play. i forgot how rough the game is without vanity items, skill cards, etc. nice vid -Legalizeit
Perfect timing....just did a prestige and leveled this up yesterday, sitting at 69 iLvl xD. Fully RE'd, been thinking about it all day at work today as all I have left is making my weak auras for it while I watch your video!
After raiding with critical on s7 I’ll say with ease he makes amazing builds every time. He’s also very friendly and is willing to help other usually. The builds awesome but this is just a criticalmiss shout out. :)
Dark Ranger has been a blast for me too so far. Really enjoying the playstyle of it. Would love a part 2 but also keen for you to showcase the other new enchants. - Brogg
Really show Nathanos' simp side when he keeps the instructions in basically a diary. Good to see the fun in a hunter build for the first time in a while! Id like to see them make a strength based ranged LRE. Side note. The tab targetting on Ascension still sucks nutz -Bricius
Idk when they added a "featured" section to the hero architect, but it scared me that my build was flagged as featured and idk if that's manual by the devs or automatic, when I needs an exploit (which is mostly exclusive to the build anyway) to be viable. Granted I don't disclose the info in the guide, I do freely offer it when pinged.
Nice! Love the spec, I definitely did it differently, but I really enjoy this style of build. Still can't wait to see how you build a Vampire Lord! -Punt
Man can't wait for a part 2 on this spec tbh. I have wanted to make this spec from the first time I played Acsension, I just couldn't find a away to make it work. So when I saw it was a LRE had to farm it.Gonna start this spec on my next days off lol~ Ukanuba
would love to see another video on this build. Looks fun as hell and I'm about to give it a roll myself. Praise RNGesus I can get in the giveaway. IGN: Ulric
To help with mana a bit, there's an RRE that restores 20% base mana on kill like the pally talent, but on a 10sec CD. Might be worth using in that free slot to help avoid OOM cases without an extra mana sustain skill
I was about to type in your previous video that I wanted to see the Dark Ranger and here you are! Amazing! I will definitely going to yoink everything. Also a quick warning. When you are trying to get the hood, there is a Worldforged Chest in front of the Stratholme dungeon in EP, before you pass the bridge, where the Necromancers spawn. I tried to loot it but failed because it bugged out. Why it bugged out? I had Loot-Bot summoned. So my key got used for nothing. Don't loot chests while you have Loot-Bot kids! Also, by Lore, Nathanos was the only outsider who managed to enter the ranks of High Elf Rangers. And him and Sylvanas fell in love. But tragically, they all died and became undead, never managed to follow their feelings. -Pigeon
I feel like what's gonna happen is that DR is gonna get nerfed until it's unusable for endgame, what I would like to happen is for the devs to look at DR like the perfect example of a well designed LRE: Not super complex but not super basic "SS now hits with both hands lol" either or clunky to play, thematic, good base damage, good scaling with stats/gear, fun (although subjective), and not super hard to roll the core skills. I love playing hunter builds and this build has been a treat, I love it. I also want to try grove ranger but people keep saying it feels clunky. On God most of the hunter and hybrid hunter LREs are fun as fuck to me (Your time will come, Beast and Blade, one day :c).
I always thought Ascension looked like it was going to steal my actual WoW information if I signed up and played but this is one of the most fun games I have ever spent time in. - Stepfather (Thrall)
I am with you. Super fun spec. Something about the playstyle is just nice. I will say that with just casual theory crafting I'm confused by some of the decisions people are making. INT Primary SP gear definitely should scale better. Devouring Plague and Wraith seem like a clear DPS loss taking up 2 epic RE slots. Explosive Shot + Shadow Propellent Epic RE is pretty amazing. At least for now though it seems like there is a good amount of variety for the build.
Looks Great! Talking about sanctioned build made by Ascension it sounds as a fantastic idea getting a base build to build from. I wanted to same for the legendary enchants that they should have a small text that says it is recommended for this type of build. -Zthefool
im LOVING this build, i thought id drafted a crap hunter with a bunch of warlock spells until i randomly found this RE! it was destiny! McDub love your channel, is there any chance I could get a link to the weak auras for this build? would love that so much
The build is definitely good but using an enslaved Demon gives you 5% damage reduction in addition to +5% damage overall. Enslaved demons with things like cripple/warstomp help build the gap the spec needs. Shadow Arrow is really nice with this spec in between nightfall procs. Rolling Stealth makes this a really strong world pvp build for hunting. Lots of things to still be discovered with the build.
You should try seed of corruption off of nightfall triggers. That's what I use on my master of shadows guy and it improves the aoe a lot. This build is cool but it is a little disheartening that it seems to be similar to mos but better, like what that re would be if it was released today. / Shredder
Not sure if you have tried it but there is a talent in arcane mage that gives 30% mana on kill, in dungeons I found it to help a lot more than dreamstate maybe try it see what you think
If you use an actual hunter pet and insure you click the ability in the skills tab to give them the 6 last pts to bring them to where stamina boosts their dmg and yours by ALOT both ranged melee and Spell power it is kind of overpowered and you get it at lvl 60 it makes you and your pet feel like you have 4-8 levels over what you actually arenot to mention holds the arggo like super glue that dried on a hot July day on a Georga Sidewalk lol I tried EVERY kind of pet, and only the normal hunter pets held arggo and made the experience where I just focus on melting the player or mob to a pile of shame and worm food lol
So I just unlocked Grove ranger but haven't tried it yet, but hear it's like atonement healing.. damage to heal. Wonder if it'll be viable for pvp. Hope ya post a build soon. Wanna see it in action
I love ascension introducing new builds like this. I would honestly prefer it tho if they would rework some of the worse performing re's. I don't really believe there are that many sleeper op builds as the devs claim. -Dripdaddy
what you can also do i add in a seed of corruption instead of a instent shadow waist bolt becus when darkness hits its a insta cast wouldnmt suggest it every pull but for when it it needid it is nice
Nice this spec looks fun seems like there is a lack of hunter builds only like 1-2 mian ones so im excited to try a new one and its a hybrid that works with the new updates :D -Holypower
Do you still have notifications for this video? I'd like to run this but can't find any guide that says whether I'm supposed to go agility gear or intellect gear. Any help would be awesome!
Glad you got the audio resolved. You’re a legend. -Paulie
Yeah it was a problem on RUclips's end sadly. Gave me an excuse to make the video even better though

Bro I love you - it is so refreshing to see someone with a similiar mindset in the wow community
I appreciate that!
Ascension just keeps getting better and better. Dark Ranger rocks man! Thanks for the video!- Palengray
the class fantasy is nice, but seriously this spec is absolute cancer in lvling BGs right now to the point where they are currently unplayable.

I've prestige bg twice now, and I've been at the top constantly on dps and kills. It's nuts.
Ey Criticalmiss, my mentor since day one... too bad I play retail now, but glad to see his name in one of your videos.
I would love to see a Grovewarden build.

Thank you mcdoobie - Rontheman

I'm definitely gonna try that build :) - Gnometoaster
Do want to try this but loving my thunder bear to much and want to get good at tanking. Glad you found something that resonates with you. -Krumbull

Might try this over the locust ranger, since I’m still missing a few cards for my prestige run. Keep them videos coming :) /Flowmotion

What build you seen the highest dps? Highest healing? In the current meta. -ZookTDribit
I think it was nerfed but 19k in ascended MC was the highest I saw dps wise and it was Mana Fiend. For healing? no clue honestly
Seed of Corruption should be huge for AoE on this specc with those guaranteed nightfall proccs amirite?
I always thought Ascension looked like it was going to steal my actual WoW information if I signed up and played but this is one of the most fun games I have ever spent time in. - Stepfather (Thrall)
Awesome spec and xmog very on theme! - Naksu
been taking a break from server, but damn you just made me return, got to try this build.
Hey mcdoubles was wondering if you were going to try dark surgeon, would be cool with the changes.
amazing video man, absolutely love it!
Smashed it! Looks like a super fun build. Would like to see the grove ranger for sure. - ohbehave
Great Dark Ranger Build ! -Cornvex
Keep up with the great content - Heib
I am with you. Super fun spec. Something about the playstyle is just nice.
I will say that with just casual theory crafting I'm confused by some of the decisions people are making.

Explosive Shot + Shadow Propellent Epic RE is pretty amazing.
At least for now though it seems like there is a good amount of variety for the build.

What happened to Conquest of Azeroth? I really liked those videos. Was actually interested in trying it when it came out.
What weapon enchant should i used for?
I’m a new player this helped but I’m still confused on actual starting and slotting cards
The build is definitely good but using an enslaved Demon gives you 5% damage reduction in addition to +5% damage overall. Enslaved demons with things like cripple/warstomp help build the gap the spec needs. Shadow Arrow is really nice with this spec in between nightfall procs.

I've already saw the video yesterday so... ill let it play again anyway, love your vids!
-Pilara
lucky for you I made changes and added like 9 minutes of extra content
it will propably get nerfed so much that it becomes unplayable because thats what ascension does with fun REs
Is that Rokan a reference from Return of the SSS-Class Ranker per chance?
i believe this build is going to get nerfed, just a tiny bit.
anyways, any chance that you review new healer and tank WRE's?
edit: on live server
was wanting to do a spirit dps version of this glad to see it does good
Yo this is sick I'm currently trying the grove ranger -Keramune -Thrall
I see you fixed the audio broski! It's great :D
where do i find this build? i've always played hunters in WoW, and this intrigued me. also, where the heck do you find that gear!

Adumbral shadow form lets you see your character. If I had a spare I would give you one.
Just a quick note... You get the bow from Scarlet sentinels not Sentry.
yeah found it all out the hard way.
love the dps builds! -Grum
I would totally come back if Groveranger or cryotheapist look fun. As a healer main, it always bored me with the lack of healing variations and REs.
Definitely love the aesthetic of the build, just got more into ascension and enjoying it from a long time wow player lol - Brogrg
Excited to see a new tier list after the changes. Dark Ranger also looks right up my alley, super fun and kinda OP.
-Skunk
nice build, makes me consider rerolling now that owtl is falling behind :( - tenchu
lovve the look and the rp homie thank you for inspireing me to play again

I'm gonna stop you right there..
Sylvanas IS banshee.. She just found body to command.
She used to be High Elf.
Ahhh Tyr's Hand.. Many an hour spent farming mobs and players there. So much gold made! Back when HR Wpvp was semi popular.
Oh I cant wait to try this out!

Yo this build actually looks sick! Loving the hit change as that helps a lot for many builds! - Sorlda
