Enshrouded Ranger Builds — 1.0
Bow and dagger builds live in the ranger area — 74 nodes covering crits, poison, sneak attacks and the assassin cluster that dagger skills moved into at 1.0. Rangers spend points on Dexterity first and win fights before melee range happens.

Crit Bow Ranger
Ranged single-target damage
A pure bow build that stacks critical chance (Sniper, Fatal Precision) on top of Marksman's flat ranged damage and Skill Shot's weak-point bonus. Sustains itself with stamina orbs and Blessed Arrows mana, so you almost never stop shooting, and a light dip into the assassin side adds backstab damage and Dexterity scaling.
Poison Dagger Assassin
Melee burst / mobility
The new-look assassin: dagger skills now live in the ranger area's assassin cluster, and the new Venomous Blades → Venom Mastery line finally gives daggers a poison payoff. You open from stealth with Sneak Attack, stack Backstab Mastery and Fatal Precision crits from behind, and Expose Weakness melts what doesn't die to the opener. High skill, high burst, endlessly mobile.
Plan your own ranger build
Start from one of the guides above, then move nodes in the skill tree planner — the link in each guide restores the exact allocation, and everything you change is saved to your own copy of the URL. Before re-speccing a pre-1.0 character, skim what changed in the Ranger area so you don't rebuild around a node that moved or lost ranks.
Attribute spreads for this archetype typically favor dexterity, crit chance, stamina for kiting — but the 212-point budget at level cap is generous enough to grab quality-of-life nodes from the core (health, stamina, glide distance) on any build.
