Sorry to monkey wrench you, but...

I would steer away from cloud giants as a new player, especially one trying to PK. Here we go:

1. Problems camo'ing and creeping as a new player can be hard to deal with.
2. Auto-fly and Giant resist will make <newbie> spoiled. (Easy prey for us, true.)
3. Most importantly, I would NEVER saddle a new player with a 750 xp penalty and tell them to try and PK on the way up. When *we* think of it and
consider the differences, we're mostly talking about a hero character. 50 levels can be rough for a new player, and that 750per is killer, even if you
*weren't* neutral, as well.

Just a couple thoughts.

Thoughts on Rangers

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

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)

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 05:46PM

Wasps often slow you and paralyse you. That will fuck up your day bigtime. n/t (n/t)

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.
