Hey rangers,

Since the update (and last patch) I'm looking for the right build, but i don't want to spend dozens of books..
Thats why I ask all high level/experienced rangers, how do you build your ranger? I'm looking for a fast-kill solo build.

If you don't want to post it up here, please pm me :) thanks!

High dex with a good amount of strength seems to work well

Max sharp, long, light heal, and either rapid or sharpen weap, keep dex high for high skill hits and heals.

My build atm is 30/525/10/250. I had a build with 425 dex and 130 str and probably would advise that one so as to hit harder on autos.

id think steady aim and sharpen are very good damge skills to use. they can both add tons of damage to make you kill faster.

im not gonna reset anything yet only been playing less than a few hours lol. ill probably keep my str/dex build. I have 450 str and 300 dex now. ill add quiver and stuff without changing build and see what the extra dex adds. but like you I wanna be strong and beable to solo but also good in groups. I think the old mix build with a bit more str might be the best option. even with this current build my lightheal is 770 very high.

The reason for the higher dex imo is bc of the new skills. Pre-patch, sharp shot would give you 600 or so dmg and barbed wasnt really worth using, and your heal was good when high dex. Now, with sharp and longshot maxed, it essentially doubles the potential skill damage with high dex, making it possible to do almost 2k damage in a couple seconds.

High str build might consider maxing sharpen and steady, and only one damage skill, and rely on auto for consistent high damage over time. If anyone does this, let me know how it works out.

With golden ice and golden helm, my damage with 30 str and sharpen is about 700, i hit 2-300 on mobs, sharp does 600-900 longshot does 800-1100 .

Sounds like a powerful dps build, but if you have high strength, why don't you use sharp and aim? Wouldn't that make you stronger?

And thanks for all comments :)
