Potential Ranger Build

Class and Rank
#1

Hey so this is my first foray into ToS so my build and strategy is completely theoretical. If someone who actually has some experience could help me out that’d be great.

Always been an archer fan and the ranger class looks nice to me for its AoE skill barrage and single target critical shot. I saw some archer c3 -> scout-> fletcher builds but they didn’t look like they had much AoE dmg. So what I’m trying is this - [Ranger One][1] [1]: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/build/vtfxj6ken2/

Max Barrage and Critical Shot, Main AoE and Single dmg respectively. My plan is to use Bounce shot to aggro and dmg enemies, and then use 2 x barrage (w/ knock back attribute?) and finish leftovers with another bounce / critical shot. I used 5 points on Steady Aim, but it looks pretty bad as a skill, I could go for High Anchoring (not sure how useful lvl 5 would be)

For Bosses, figured critical shot, well placed barrage, and arrow spiral.
Later on I chose fletcher to increase single target DPS + debuffs like Bodkin (reduce defence) and Magic Arrow (silence chance) and Cross Fire for more DPS.

Few Questions:
Do skills like Barrage and Bounce shot crit?
Not sure what stat allocation I should use. Seems like I’d need some SPR for skill use. First 50 lvls maybe 30 dex 14 str 5 spr? Or 30 dex 10 str 9 spr? and then focus mostly on dex + str, 2:1.
For this set up none of the main skills have crit attributes (except arrow spiral) should I get more str then for base dmg, or stick with dex for the crit rate and evasion. (I’m assuming I’ll need evasion if those mobs get to me T_T)

Your build seems legit unless if you are doubting about Steady Aim, you might want to take Time Bomb Arrow instead (+50% against heavy armor).

Also, I don’t think emphasizing silence on Bosses will be that useful. Instead, you’d probably want to improve your barbed arrow for better damage or take broadhead for bleeding (I’m not sure if bosses can bleed tho).

They do.

From my experience, if you are PVE-oriented, there is no need for SPR in your build. STR + DEX adjustment will be sufficient to achieve the best DPS possible. As for the adjustment itself, you will have to experience because you must first set which enemies are you going to defeat (how much DEX is needed).

I took archer up to circle 3 , because putting more points in archer skills was more beneficial. It made it easier to exp and quest.

In the first beta I focused on getting the best possible start , I leveled up archer type up to lvl 50 ,3 times just to see the difference.

Ranger is decent ,but fairly SP hungry and it’s skills are somewhat redundant I didn’t find myself using them at the lower levels once so ever.
Archer skills seem to be much more cost efficient.

In this game you will not find yourself spamming skills like you did in Ragnarok, maybe if you build an SPR build you may however I doubt it.
If you’re going to build Ranger , think about the future of your build.

As far as stats are concerned If you do go for DEX SPR STR , then mage’s gonna 1 shot you. My build was 2:1 Dex to STR without any CON. It was strong against physical (due to evasion from leather mastery and dex), but magic damage was a huge problem.

#4

Im pretty sure you wont be the first nor the last to enter the full dex no con noobtrap ^^. Reminds me of this:

#5

unless you have friends that does the tanking/healing for you

#6

Part of the learning process, it was exactly what I wanted to see. I think this is the most fun part about this game right now. Seeing what works or not.
I find archer a bit under-powered(or slow) compared to other classes, especially if you don’t build it right.

Nice cartoon bro :smiley:

#7

well they moved kneeling shot at circle 2, no more afk leveling at lower levels.

#8

oblique shot at circle 1 is imo better , it’s very cheep sp wise , it will help with bosses immensely.

#9

Its actually a snippet from Terry Pratchett’s book, but I can’t remember the title for the life of me.

I think theres a big potential in hunter, and definitely in other stats then dex ^^ I’m pretty sure my character will be bad too, but at least I will learn how to make the next one better ^^

Don’t be afraid to experiment people, its part of the fun!

#10

My alt will be full spr archer xD walking some sp heavy progression path. Im itching to test it since the last day of previous beta.

Have you played Ro before?
I’ve played Soulbreaker- Int/dex/vit sinx in Ragnarok , quite unorthodox build.

#11

Is there any + max HP or + hp regen equipment or gem/amulet whatever to help with hp? CON gives hp and hp regen, does it reduce magic or even phys dmg? Similarly is the equipment / enchants to reduce magic dmg taken?

If I end up putting stats into str spr con and dex, i feel like my dmg will be awful :< I have no idea guess I’ll have to find out when the beta starts.

#12

full SPR? I understand youll be able to use a lot of skills but wont they do pretty measly damage? Low attack, low crit attack , low crit rate, low evasion and no HP.

#13

Idk maybe some str in the mix.

#15

I’m not sure just yet , I simply know what I want to make work, It will probably take 3-4 tries again before I’ll even have an idea what works.
You can’t trust “descriptions” , you need to see it.

#16

Also wondering if I use archer c2 (for swift step crit attribute + better oblique and multi shot) then do full ranger and 1 rank of fletcher. Do you think that will add anything to the build?

#17

True, so many possibilities I’ve been obsessing about. I’ve been itching to play a MMO again for ages. Can’t sleep Q__Q.

#18

It’s difficult to tell really ,I for one put a lot of stress on Criting , anything that raises my chance is always welcome.
I guess that’s the goal here , with the archer circle 2 . Just to get the crit increase rolling.
I don’t see anything invalid in what you’re saying.

#19

If youre gonna do another archer I’ll give you a hint. Archers have more accuracy by default, so you need to put less dex in to hit some of the weirdos that have 100+ dex in their builds and crutch on dodging.

I give it for free only because I feel bad for killing soulbreaker sinxes by the thousands with my EDP sinx :wink:

I don’t plan on putting any spr in but considering rush dog has 5s cd I might have to ^^ meh, more alterations to my perfect build

#20

I don’t really care about dex as long as I see that my crit rate is up there. Obviously that’s the point of it.

Lol no Edp sinx has ever beaten me xD They cant even get to me in time to attack xD. Every squishy class dies in 2 hits.
I can do that without wasting any time on gathering the resources. That’s why edp sinx are only good for woe unless you play on a pve server where you get to choose when and where you fight.

#21

How much did you do per SB? ^^ I have serious doubts you’d one or even two shot me ^^

I havent lost to an SB sin on any of the 20-30 servers I played on ^^

But yeah I ended up switching to a sniper in the end, sinx was too easy ^^

You can up your crit rate with gems if thats something you want to see constantly, since I’m building a rogue its more important for me to crit for a lot ^^ if I remember correctly backstep has a 70% base chance to crit, I might of read that wrong though.
