Returning ranger

ARCHIVED-Keredh · May 30, 2010

So... I've been out of it properly for the best part of nine months. Ker is level 80 and was basically crunching writs when I left off. He's got around 160 AAs, his Fabled Epic, T1 shard armour and a bunch of masters.
I've followed the threads and realise we've been left unloved by the Devs (having played since beta it's a familiar story) - but Ker is and always will be a ranger. So, with that in mind, are there any thoughts on armours sets, equipment, quests, AA builds that a returning ranger should get his head around? (I'm still getting used to the consolidation of resists so bear with me...!)

We're not at our most powerful, that's for sure. AA builds aren't terribly difficult at the moment, at least. This is one that I enjoy for raiding - it's fairly cookie cutter, save for some survability options in Shadows that I prefer over otherwise marginal DPS improvements.

“The Predator tree's pretty easy to just look at and see the path for best damage. If you're not setup to be doing max damage, you're doing it wrong. It should be maxed at 100/100pts when you're done.

Bounty 1 point.
Max agi out 8, 4, 10, 1 or 4, 8, 10, 1 depending on how much you care about the run speed.
Then max str line out 4, 8, 10, 1 because bladed opening sucks and isn't worth the time it takes to cast.
Then max the int line 8, 4, 10, 1 to get intox.
Take the SF str end line (aa damage) maxed to 8.
Take the SF agi end line (recast) maxed to 8.
Take PFT maxed out.
Go back and fill in the remaining points on the tree in the SF int end line (intox bonus) which should put you at 7 of 8 with your full 100 pts spent on the tree.

Anything else, other than the previously mentioned possible pvp/bg setup should look like this. Ideally, I'd fill in the pred tree first up and including to the full 8 spent in the SF aa damage bonus, go over to the ranger tree, get the off. stance bonus and bonus to stream of arrows, then pick up arrow barrage, then come back and finish up the pred tree as posted above.

If you're messing with the wis line in a non pvp/bg setting, find better tanks. If you're messing with the sta line because you want ae auto atks, you should probably just betray to an assassin now.”
