Gear

Only weapons and sets we can match to an item in the 1.0 game files. Tiers come from those files; a “likely match” agrees on 4–5 of 5 perk slots rather than all of them.

FAQ

Can the bow make Sneak Attacks?
No. The 1.0 text of Sneak Attack says it adds +900% damage and that wands, staves and bows cannot perform Sneak Attacks, so the sneak part of this build is the daggers: Sneak Attack, Cutthroat (100% Sneak Attack damage per rank in the 1.0 files) and Backstab Mastery (20% backstab damage per rank). The bow is for the distance, with Marksman and Skill Shot.
What do the daggers and the bow share?
Vitality Surge: critical strikes with bows, daggers and throwables restore stamina in the 1.0 text, and this build takes it at 2 of 3 ranks together with Fatal Precision, which raises critical strike chance. Both are in this tree for that reason.
Best weapons for the Ranger Assassin?
The loadout below wears Daggers Of Liquid Light, whose 1.0 perks are Backstab Damage, Critical Strike Chance and Magic Fire Damage, and Phoenix Bow, whose perks are Magic Fire Damage, Dragon's Strength and Critical Strike Chance; both are Legendary and roll at item levels 1 to 55. Bow Of The Twin Moons (Magic Ice Damage and crit perks) waits as a spare, and so do Circus Knives and Talion's Bow.
Ranger Assassin vs Assassin Dual Blades?
They share Sneak Attack, Backstab Mastery, Cutthroat, Dagger Mastery and the dagger special ability. This build adds Marksman and Skill Shot at full rank, Sniper, Vitality Surge, Fatal Precision, Bee Sting and Strategic Maneuver for the bow, and spends 56 points against 38.
When does the Ranger Assassin come online?
The whole build is 56 points, complete by level 29 from level-ups alone. The daggers come first in the buy order, Marksman and Skill Shot at level 22.
