The Close Ranger FAQ
Is the Close Ranger good?+
Its ranged attacks deal 100% more damage at close range, more than three times the Paragon's flat 30%. It rewards a point-blank playstyle: stand next to the target and shoot, the way the Paragon poison build does with the Scoundrel Blazer.
Close Ranger or Paragon?+
The Close Ranger doubles damage up close only; the Paragon adds 30% at any range. The S-tier point-blank build on /builds runs the Paragon and gets its close-range bonus from the Scoundrel Blazer instead, which keeps the bow's bonus active when you have to back off.
