I'm biased, but I like felar and cloud giant.

Felar: less effective bearcharge, but you get to use claws + ranger spear/staff, you dodge better, no wrath/mental/disease vuln, and you can creep reliably without stepping out of camo.

Cloud: begins and ends with bearcharge. You should be able to kill any human-or-smaller person you snare who isn't bash protected or *supremely* juiced with damage reduction.

I would have a hard time taking any terrain/expertise combo that sacrifices snare or bearcharge. Some terrain choices leave you bearcharge, but its somewhat nerfed most places. (At least, that's how I understand caverndwellers working).

So basically for terrain I'd only go forest or mountain. For expertise I'd only go survivalist or savage.

Thoughts on Rangers

Dear Welverin- Sticking with a character for more than three days makes it way easier to learn stuff. (n/t)

Dear Bell, Man I don't think I could have made it the...

Welverin February 26, 2010 09:15AM

Ooo, sick burn. You're right, too, forcing Nep to make a specific rule about pledging is prolly a pretty good sign that you know what's up. (n/t)

P.S. I've given up trying to tell ranger newbies they should play that build.

There's been cloud savages running around for precisely these reasons.

I pretty much agree but...

semi_newbie February 26, 2010 01:46AM

Forget hunters if you want to PK. Play cloud/felar/human/welf anything but hunter. (n/t)

zoskia February 25, 2010 05:17PM

Cosign. I'd not advice anything but giant for PK however. (n/t)

dervish February 25, 2010 05:25PM

Giants have the advantage in dam and lag, but other races get more use from creep to help setup fights.

used_to_play February 25, 2010 08:51PM

Three most PK succesful rangers were felars. Just saying. (n/t)

alex February 25, 2010 07:47PM

Has more to do with the players than the build. You have to consider those rangers have about 500 more hours played than most. (n/t)

Starscream February 25, 2010 08:00PM

that's mitigated somewhat. txt

Isildur(VIP) February 25, 2010 10:44PM

Played by vets. Felars are not for new players who want to PK. (n/t)

Ditto on the wasps.

This is most definitely wrong. Standard wasps is nothing to worry about. (n/t)

Unless you are an applicant/rager. Then you are often dead. (n/t)

It depends, i'd say odds are they'll live rather than die. Stats will be posted in the future and things will be made apparent. (n/t)

zoskia February 25, 2010 06:01PM

Re: Dodge for low level pk should not be a consideration. Gear on dmg and try to land two ambushes. They will die.

zoskia February 25, 2010 06:05PM

I RARELY die to ambushing built rangers UNLESS I flee into a snare and eat a second ambush. (At hero that is.) (n/t)

deriveh February 25, 2010 09:10PM

Are there ranger builds you ROUTINELY die to at hero?nt

used_to_play February 25, 2010 09:47PM

True... I suppose cloud mountaineer savage would kill most warriors at hero just by looknig at them in their hometerrain. ^^ (n/t)

deriveh February 25, 2010 10:33PM

At low levels, ambushing will get you the kills. Certain builds can unload HUGE dmg below 20. At hero you need snare/tactics depending on race/build and element of surprise too.
