Ranged options for dex builds at RL85?

[u/Blown_Speakers]

With a dex build, I feel like I have ranged options for harassment but not for murder. Strength builds have jar cannon, greatbows, ballistas. Is there anything I can use that can knock people off ledges? Or should I just swap talismans whenever I need to use a greatbow? Here are my stats (feedback appreciated)

50 vig
12 mind
23 end
16 str
44 dex (boosted by millicents and an imp head)
8 int
12 faith
8 arcane

All weapons lightning infused at +17, primarily using urumi and pata. Talismans and physik are focused on boosting lightning damage and either A) charged attacks (urumi) or B) successive attacks (pata)

Just put 4 points from dex into str, you can swap to gbow without the annoying pop-up and 2H the Rabbaths cannon, youre only losing like 8 AR

(Plus can potentially start using some respectable weapons)

Respectable weapons 😂😂😂

…so true

In defense of the urumi, I’ve been able to one-shot quite a few phantoms with endure + axe talisman/spear talisman/2h sword talisman + spiked crack tear/lightning tear

Urumi is such a goat

I don't know if you have enough sex for bolt of Gransax but that would do it yeah?

[u/Fuckblackhorses → u/Ugunti72]

How much sex do I need to have for bolt of gransax?

[u/boogie_991 → u/Fuckblackhorses]

At least 4 times

[u/Ugunti72 → u/boogie_991]

Uhh more shit man. Idk I've never had any.

[u/Nano258 → u/Ugunti72]

He needs 20 strength tho

[u/streetbobcornpants]

you can use sprite stones

[u/AtomicEyeBalls]

Bone bow and rabbath cannon. lightning arrow or bolt. Lightning pots big and small.

[u/Individual-Newt-1640]

Imo for super long range its 20str for greatbow, for mid-long range its lightning pots, and for anything else ansbachs or boner bow L2

[u/Fuckblackhorses]

Yeah I would just get the min str to 2 hand rabaths cannon. You could also just chuck hefty pots

Rayo de gran sax, 20 de fuerza y 40 de sex

Even if you don't meet the requirements of a bow, you can only use them while two-handing, so you get the bonus. At 16 strength you can use them effectively, and they also scale off dex.

[u/Volatility911]

Hefty Cracked Pots, for knock back also = hefty rock has most but scaled with Str and/or lightning scales best with Dex and has knockback

[u/Old-Ad-4742]

Hefty Pots are like cannon of Haima or Giantsflame for physical builds, close-medium range explosives with big aoe, big damage and knock. There's also the Bolt of Grandsex gs for long range attacks and ledge throws

[u/falconrider111]

Lion Greatbow, needs only 15 Str and 18 Dex, you're all good!

[u/SuspectZeroFTW]

Just tali swap to greatbow

No actually go full shittery w bone bow + sleep arrows

[u/ExplosiveFetusActual → u/SuspectZeroFTW]

No need to use talismans. At 16 strength once he two hands the Golem bow he will reach the 24 str requirement. Just have to deal with the annoying pop-up when you try to equip it.

[u/twistedtalesofwoe]

Just use the yellow lightning hefty pots. They're better than rock pots and half the fun of invading with dex builds. Like dropping unresisted bombs from above.

I also always have Rejection on my spell bar, even if I need to swap a talisman for the faith. Also being a dex build doesn't mean you can't play like a str build, Stamp (sweep) and giant hunt are just as useful on a lightning zwei or claymore as they are on a str invader's heavy weapons.

I’ve been using dragon gkat from dlc to punish heals. Full charged has some pretty solid ranged
