Welcome to the Carino Ranger of Glory Leveling Guide. Divineshot Carino's Ranger of Glory Trait specializes in enhancing projectile Skills via Special Ammo. Be it Attacks, or Spells if you can shoot the Skill forward, up or in a parabolic arc (IE: projectiles) Carino is a great choice. Reload is a bit clunky at first but effects like Ammo Expert and Magic Shot streamline it making him much easier to play.

The leveling guide is intended to take your character to Level 80.
This is the last level with unlimited free respec points.
Be sure to check the final section of the guide for recommendations on how to transition into the Endgame!

Leveling Tips and Tricks

  • Your first Active Skill slot (top left in the Skills menu) is your "Main Skill," this matters because many items and Hero Traits have effects that only apply to the Main Skill.
  • If you're ever in doubt of where to go, click the campaign quest on the left of your screen and a golden path shows you the way.
  • Stay on level with the Zone as much as possible! You receive reduced experience for being too under or over leveled so ensure you kill enough monsters to remain as close to the zone level as possible.
  • When allocating Pact Points, prioritize Resistances first, then select Damage nodes until you fill the section. If you have leftover points, put them into Drop nodes as you begin farming the Netherrealm.
  • Complete all 10 Levels of the Hero Forge to unlock all of your Hero Trait abilities and gain 6 additional Talent Points.
  • All support gems become available from the Skill Shop at level 55. At this stage cross reference with the embeds to make sure you're set up for the Netherrealm.
  • In Chapter 4 gear you find comes with varying amounts of Energy, this can make it difficult to determine whether or not an item is an upgrade. In general if you don't get enough Energy to add a Support slot pick upgrades based on their stats. After changing your gear, be sure to go to the Energy Menu under Skills to reassign missing Energy.

Equipment & Stat Priorities

Main stats to be looking for while progressing the campaign

Look for these Offensive stats on weapons:

  • %Elemental Damage
  • Lightning Damage added to Attacks
  • Physical Damage added to Attacks
  • Attack Speed
  • Critical Strike Chance
  • Movement Speed
  • Multistrike Chance

Look for these Defensive stats on armor:

  • Max Life
  • Max Life %

Core Skill

  • Lightning Shot converts 50% of Physical Damage to Lightning Damage, combining this with your Talent selections allows you to deal exclusively Lightning Damage.
    • It scales well with Jump to become a strong clearing skill.
  • Blink is your standard mobility skill.
    • An alternative if you are using a Bow, is Blink Bow which despite it's difficult play style speeds you through zones much faster.
  • Aim is the epitome of stand and deliver, granting a massive amount of Projectile Damage. Be careful though, it significantly reduces your movement speed and expires once you use a Mobility Skill.
  • Use Compound Source to quickly regenerate Life and Mana whenever needed.
  • Burst of Anger grants a large additional Attack Speed buff that refreshes when you defeat an enemy.

The Netherrealm

Racing through your Netherrealm quests as quickly as possible results in you becoming under leveled for the required zones to progress further, stay within 3 levels of the zones you're completing to avoid a harsh experience penalty. Check out our How to Progress the Netherrealm if you're unsure of anything.

Here's a list of things to do while progressing the early stages of the Netherrealm;

  • Level 60, The Trade House is unlocked. Be sure to read and understand our Trade House for Beginners Guide before making any big purchases.
  • Higher item levels of gear come with higher quantities of Energy. Look to improve your current gear with items that have increased Energy so that you can use more Support Skills.
  • Utilize Prototype Crafting and Enchanting to greatly increase the power of non-legendary gear you come across. It costs very low amounts of Flame Dust and Flame Sand to lock 1 good affix in place and reroll up to 4 new modifiers.

Transitioning to Endgame

Offense

The following mechanics are the best method to scale this builds damage and clear;

  • Dexterity stacking via the modifier "Adds 1-5 Lightning Damage per 8 Dexterity"
  • +1 Level of Lightning Skills can be found on Divinity Slates.
  • Additional Projectiles
  • Fervor grants a large amount Critical Strike Chance and can be obtained cheaply with Ralph's Engraving.
    • If you're looking for a more endgame option; Opening Heart.
    • Be warned: Opening Heart causes you to take increased damage.

To start transition to Dexterity stacking;

  • Look for a bow with "Adds 1-5 Lightning Damage per 8 Dexterity" and craft it using Prototype crafting to include multiple of the following modifiers (in order of importance);
    • Dexterity
    • Gear Attack Speed
    • Gear Critical Strike Rating
    • Lightning Damage added to Attacks
    • Projectile Damage
    • Lightning Damage
    • Physical Damage added to Attacks
  • Note: Pistols are the superior option but require you to craft 2 items instead of 1.
  • At this stage begin crafting your gear with Dexterity suffixes while looking for a Pedigree of Gods with the Falling Leaves Talent. This is a massive damage increase.

Remaining Gear

Focus on crafting the remainder of your Armor and Jewelry with the following goals in mind;

  • Cap all of your Resistances at the 75% maximum.
  • Have a healthy Life pool.
  • Increase your Physical or Lightning damage
  • Increase your Attack and Cast Speed

Legendary Items

Leveling

  • Sun-shooter Long Bow provides Jumps, it is a special drop from The Dwarf King in Chapter 1: The Heart of the Kingdom.
  • Alternatively, Shadow of Thunderlight's Touch is a great bow for Lightning damage builds. It is a special drop from Ordrak in Chapter 3: Rusted Abyss.
  • Marksman Bracers provide additional Jumps allowing you to replace the support skill. It is a special drop from King's Messenger - Tritter in Chapter 3: Ichi Settlement.

Endgame

  • Wear Opening Heart for easier access to Fervor.
  • Gravel is a great early game pistol, providing Jumps and great damage.
