Taking level 7 & some elite Waterworks footage
Semi-tutorial series about the Tempest Trapmonkey build for new players. I didn't create this build, but I used it on my main character for her ranger life. I was impressed at how good it was, and made a Character Build video on it here: http://y2u.be/36Gz2m32iC0
Now I'm putting my money where my mouth is and using the build on a free-to-play account to test it out for your viewing pleasure.

Highlights of the build:
- Dragonmark of Passage: +25% run speed & Dimension Door spell like ability

- UMD (use magic device): for using scrolls like Invisibility and Heal
- Good DPS (damage): khopesh is best, but any slashing weapon is fine

- Evasion: to mitigate some damage from spells and traps
