How is Wild Stalker supposed to be written

[STR Ranger]

Hi.

I'm looking at building the most well balanced high DPR dwarf TWF I can.

Now a few people have seen my Human TWWarrior build using Eldritch Heritage- Orc , Touch of Rage on yourself. Crazy High DPR and Very high will save.

With a Dwarf that aint an option.
1. CHA penalty sucks the point buy
2. What dwarf has a freakin Orc in their family tree.

So. First I looked at TWWarrior again but with Dwarven Urgosh as his weapon (Everyone knows I support 2 handing when you move.
With Hardy as a feat and The trait that bumps dwarven spell saves by 1 for a total +5 to all spells vs rage.

Then though I thought Barbarian? Rage + Dwarf Resistance+ Superstition would habe tje same save bonus as a Human Barb putting his favored bonus to superstition.

But TWF preqs are high.

So I thought Wild Stalker. Rage,Superstition, Dwarf racial is mega saves.
Combat style ingnores twf preqs
Wild stalker could take Witchunter and Raging Brutality.

Sounds great. But the wild stalker write up confuses me. Rage powers amd Wild talents seems to replace the same ability (Favored Enemy) this can't be right can it?

Good catch. It seems we have a typo. I think it is time to hit the FAQ button.

Yes the Wild Stalker seems to be a confusing topic on the boards. Another typo is the Rage of the Wild ability. It says he gains the rage class feature but his barbarian level is considered ranger -3. However barbarian level has no effect on rage. People have said, and it makes sense, this simply means when qualifying for rage powers he uses his ranger -3.

Something else I'm curious about is the wild stalker's rage power progression. It seems odd that paizo allowed two rage powers gained in a row. Especially for the price of the same ability.

I noticed that you miss out on your first feat at 2nd level because of Wild Stalker.

Is that an issue for you if you're playing low level? Seems like you have to still hit the prereqs for TWF.

Barbarian level is also counted for Rage rounds a day, so a fourth level Ranger would have the same amount of Rage rounds as a first level barbarian(4 + Con modifier).

At 5th level, the Ranger gains two more Rage rounds, as per the barbarian Rage ability.
