Alex's Ranger Guide :3

[smevlin]

Hi everyone I'm Alex and i thought I'd put together a small Guide for you all Rangers out there!

First off what is a Ranger?
A ranger in my discription is a character that uses a bow to kill their opponents, most commonly in the style of AoE(Area of Effect).

We want Ranger Builds!!!!

Full Dex Build

Str:15
Sta:15
Dex:XXX
Int:15

This build is not for the faint hearted! you will always need an FS(Full Support) and will need some GREAT equips to cussion your lack of def and HP. in other words you will have to be quite wealthy.
Pros:
Your damage will be RAW!!
You will get your Hit/Miss rate searlier than rangers using builds with more Sta.
You will be ble to Ghunt more effectively because of your better damage of being Full Dex.
I'm sure there're others but its late at night ad i can't think of any more

Cons:
If your not rich and don't have a FS well lets just say i hope your awfull lucky!
You will have low def and HP
Until later on you will not be able to tank many mobs.
You wont be able to tank HoP and Asals *I had to fit this in *

40 Sta Build

Str:15
Sta:40
Dex:XXX
Int:15

This build is a little bit better than the Full Dex Build in my opinion because you will have more def and HP, thus being able to tank more in the beggining and also having a bit sence of security when you AoE.

Pros:
AoEing will be so much easier with this build than the Full Dex Build
You have more def and HP than the Full Dex Build
You don't have to be so rich to afford this build
Ghunting won't be as fast as it is with Full Dex but if the mob crits you, you won't die

Cons:
Ghunting isn't as fast as Full Dex Build
Yes i advise you still lvl with an FS but idk if that's such a bad thing anyway
Most likely you will still not tank a HoP or an Asal.

Belzebu's Build

Str:15
Sta:60
Dex:XXX
Int:15 (do i really need to put Int or Str in the build anyway?!?! )

This build is like ahhhh look a mob just took like 1/10000000000 of my HP lol well not literaly but i think you get the point. This build gives you great def and HP and you can tank some HoPs and Asals. BTW i call this the Belzebu's Build because Belzebu is the only person i know that uses this build yay for Belzebu!!!

Pros:
Great def and HP
AoE is a breeze compared to the Full Dex Build and a little easier than the 40 Sta Build
You can Tank those anoying Hit and Run Asal Bps and HoP Jesters in the Arena.

Cons:
Your damage will lack some in the begining but later on it won't make that much of a difference.
Ghunting will be slower than both the Full Dex and 40 Sta Builds.

LordGeoff's Build

Str:15
Sta:46
Dex:XXX
Int:15(Gosh i still don't know why i keep putting Str and Int in these builds

This build is my favorite and will use it always. It gives a decent number of def and HP, along with tons of Dex! This is one great build in my opinion an many others. BTW i call this LordGeoff's build because he told me it was his build :3

Pros:
I <3 this build
It's a far build meaning you can both AoE very efficiently with it and also have some Ghunting fun with it!
Sometimes be able to tank nub Asals and HoPs
Did i mention I <3 this build

Cons:
(Hmm i can't think of any
Ok fine i'll be fair)
Doesn't have as much HP and def as Belzebu's Build thus won't AoE as safely
Still won't Ghunt as fast as the Full Dex Build
Truthfully I can't think of any others

The Perfect Build

THERE IS NO PERFECT BUILD!!!

Some people might say "Oh i know the perfect Rangers build hahahahahaha and YOU don't" just ignore them because there is no perfect build... Maybe its PERFECT for them but it might not be to YOU and that's what matters, right? Also the builds i have posted here aren't strict rules that yo must follow or you will FAIL They are simply guidelines that people have created to make it simpler and easier for you all to use and to base it off yourselves!

To finish this off I'd like to thank the following people:
Belzebu aka Rbardy for pushing me to become a ranger and inspiring me!
LordGeoff aka Bombbugg for inspiring me and helping me when i most needed it and telling me about the "Geoff Build" >.>
And The best guild in Glaphan ever, Nightfall!!! for helping me soo mcuh through my tough times and being there for me always! P.S. Luri we will always have you in our hearts.
And last but not least my boy shinji1080 aka Micah for being the reason i play this game everyday, for always helping me no matter my problem and to keep me from quitting a week ago xD
Love you all!!!

-All ranger builds need an fs. And don't make guides late at night, its better to just draft it in word or note pad first then post it.

-40 stam build and lord geoffs build are pretty much the same, 6 stam isn't really going to effect you much.

-No pictures, same coloured font and same font style through out the guide

-No leveling guides, no guide on equipment, no nufin.

I couldn't be bothered reading through it, but there may or may not be something wrong in your information.

[rbardy]

With 60 STA build, and plugs +9 and stam rings, I SOLO (and i mean totally solo, no heal no buff) AoEd from lvl 60 to around 78 then I went 1v1 in the pinkies (no restat) then finally at lvl 87+ i had to use FS.

Also what he mean is that with full dex wont be any FS that will be able to heal him, a FS w/o lvl 45 set max cats/heap wont be able to support the ranger and if the FS lags the ranger die, I for example with the 60 STA build some times my rm got stuck in a rock (my rm is my laptop btw) so i kept the AoE and i just realized that i didn't had heal when i finished my AoE (and i had around 20~25 monsters in me).

And even though I loved the "Belzebu's build", Power2 was the one I followed the steps to the 60 STA build as you can see here

Anyway it will go to the stickies.

[smevlin]

To abhish* Yeah i know it wasn't the brightest idea but, it wasn't all that bad and i'm not done with it i will add a lvling guide as i lvl with my Ranger****** and I am currently working on a equipment guide to add onto here, so don't worry i'm not done and even though you may haven not liked it i'm sure some other people will...

[wingedxx]

Full dex once you get to a high level works fine too.
I was aoeing cannibals a while ago and finished the aoe before i read the party chat saying 'My ticket ran out'
x3

[gogoranger]

I just changed my build 4 times this weak (1 restat the rest with equips changes) and can say quite safely that once you have your Ranerz set the amount of mobs that can be tanked is pretty much identical with any amount of stam.

More dex means more block and evade and more stam means safer collecting and more damage tanked without the 1-5% missing block. Since high block means each aditional points of block increases tanking noticably more then the last one.

Full dex all the way, who needs Hp when you have evade. I have also AoE'd very succesfully on minimal healing as my partner was lagging alot. I could probably AoE a fair amount of mobs with only buffs and I know Rangers that at higher levels do tank with just buffs.

[smevlin]

Yeah I agree... I'll fix it as soon as I can, will be a bit busy because of school thou but I'll get to it xD thanks for the comments

But i use that build too Dx
used it from lvl 50 :3

Anyways i really think you need to add a lvling section :>

[smevlin]

Yeah alot of people have been telling me i need to add sections and i will but in seperate guides to make it easier for rbardy xD he asked me to so he doesn't have to work so hard so later on this weekend ill make my equips guide then a lvling guide as i finish lvling my ranger.

[abhishekh]

Its just the problem with this is guide is that it doesnt bring anything else the other guides don't have.

Make it useful , you have the experience with a high level ranger, you could probably do it if you could be bothered.

[smevlin]

abhish i know its that i get lazy with these guides i'll fix it up thou just cuz you keep on insisting on it but it wont be today or tomorow i'm realllllllly busy with school so as soon as i get time ill fix it and start to write the the new one thanks again abhish

[madyzero]

i do have belzebu build on my ranger and im not the only one
and i do this long time before meet belzebu and chat with him while i was in his guild with my blade (MadyZeroBlade 105 lvl atm) not my ranger
i still hate him for his arek+18..gimme belzebu

[smevlin]

lol yeah his arek +18 is one hell of a lucky drop...

[mikemaldonado]

im going 55sta xxxdex should i just add 5more sta or just keep it as is ??? lvl 51 now

[rbardy]

Do as toy wish, if you feel that you die too much with 55 STA then rise it, otherwise keep it a t55.

[missamyla]

i'll just give a pic of advice.

1.) Either bold or color the sub-builds.

2.) Spelling Mistakes, like cussion should be cushion.

3.) THis is more like a Ranger Builds kind of thing.

4.) Don't do those "(Hmm i can't think of any Ok fine i'll be fair)" stuff, and don't say "I <3 this build " stuff. They'll make people think you're bias, even though you may not be

5.) Spacing!!!!!

6.) Did i mention spelling mistakes?


It's not bad i mean, just gotta fix up a bit, and please, please please don't tell peopel you wrote it at night. At least say "I spent a bit of time writing this....................etc etc" At least it'll be a bit better, and make people want to read on more

Well full dex with ULGB +4 22 stam awake, 22 Sta in helm, its easy XD

But not everyone has ulti bows and pro awakes, element protection changes will make aoe harder with full dex, no more 0's

[rbardy]

My Build Is 50sta Rest Dex Is That Good Def Or Do I Need 60sta

50 STA is ok.
Any values between 40~60 is alright.

[moomookittypoo]

What people don't understand is WHY they need Sta. It's because of low Def. HP, after a certain point, does not matter. If you can get 1100-1200 Def with a full Dex build, you're effective from beginning to end.

HP DOES matter, when u get to mams u will need more hp to tank 70+ if not u will stuck with 40 max

Jesters have a defined build with equips(100 Dex rest str) but rangers not:

I personally have 62 sta unbuffed with equips

40 base + 4 awake + 16 bow +2 (+8 set)

For my point of view u need to reach with equips:
60 sta with (+8 set)

40 sta with (+10 set)

Full dex doesnt count as full dex if u have high sta in equips, better get ur Sta in build and get high Dex in equips.

[moomookittypoo]

*sigh* hp for mammoths, yes. hp for the early stretch where everyone's like "zomg 40+ sta or you'll die!", no. there's a marked change in mob damage and your own blockrate between those points - telling everyone full dex is horrible at the beginning isn't completely honest.
