A combination of a high dexterity and expertise in Dodge skill will improve an outlander's life span dramatically. Since outlanders have low hit points and very basic defense skills, they rely much upon dodging the attacks. A high strength value will simply deliver more damage per ammo, while high dexterity values will enable critical hits and much needed dodging ability. While regular ranged classes often bias towards dexterity, outlander uses a mixture of dexterity and strength. Finally, Shadowling Ammo and Death Ritual are very useful to most builds because they provide melee minions to tie up monsters giving you more time to shoot at them.

Synergies' Paladin is absolutely broken, half the skills don't work as intended since Salan.
#Torchlight 2 synergies mod outlander build Patch
I'm sorry but you will have to either download a stable Synergies patch (1212 is the last one), or take another class. Its high mana costs also make it difficult to use as a primary attack. Synergies' Paladin is absolutely broken, half the skills don't work as intended since Salan attempted a rework. Glaive Throw was once a fantastic source of damage, but has now been nerfed down to simply a good choice. Blade Pact is useful for bow and crossbow builds in order to take full advantage of these weapons extreme range. Long Range Mastery and Master of the Elements both work with wands, and so a high focus build works well with them. Rapid Fire is an excellent skill to use with any sort of ranged weaponry and is especially useful for shotgonne and bow builds. While Berserkers focus on doing high damage up close, Outlanders focus on doing high damage at range. Outlanders start with 10 strength, 15 dexterity, 10 focus and 5 vitality.

The Outlander has three skill trees: Warfare focuses on ranged weapon-based skills and some glaive use, Lore involves attack spells using the glaive (which is not an equipped weapon), and Sigil includes debuff and summoning spells.

There is no formal organization of Outlanders they are former outlaws, thieves and pirates who have taken to collecting the world's ancient lore and forgotten artifacts. Outlanders are nomadic explorers who search the world for treasure and hidden magic.
