So I am wondering are there any good classes that do good ranged damage endgame. If so is there a build that you could point me at to get a good basic idea of what I am looking for?

    A quick look in the skill calc shows me that Templar is the only other class with a decent selection of ranged abilities.

    Nightblades get Strife, but that's about it. There's Cripple though, which is probably nice for a ranged character to have.

    Edit: Also worth noting, if you do a ranged NB you'll be eating through mana and not benefiting from the Assassin passive that returns mana. Without that I don't know if I could play a mana-reliant NB.

    This comming from a mana-reliant nb, all mana returns make it a better choice for nb then any other form. Resources are infinite and can just continue spamming skills.
    Been a stamina nb aswell but only leveled to vet1, but still enough to know its a lot harder to maintain resources if i were to spam skills like i do with my current build. Barely using normal weapon attacks. Siphoning attacks is insane powerfull even if it diminishes your damage output like it does, it makes you spam skills and in long fights probably makes you best dps there is because there is no other class i know off who can spam skills without running out of resources, ever.

    You could use potions yes, but so can this SS spamfest NB, only, it doesnt need to use resource potions, it can use boost potions instead, making it even more powerfull.
