Celtic Heroes

Hello all! I just started playing celtic heroes and so far I love it. I got my warrior to lvl ten but I want my main to be a ranger. I've been reading the posts about str vs dex rangers and I want to go str because auto seems more like my play style. I want to point and shoot and me good at it. I have managed to save up the 150k for the heroic gloves and my warrior had thunderclap axe, which I have enjoyed the dmg from, people said that axe would get my toon to about lvl 50, so I want to find a bow that is similar that will take me from lvl 1 - 50+... Also what should I do with stats? I want to go pure str but will I be able to do this with only 1 lux item (gloves) I'm thinking that str builds are for rich only? But it sounds like that's the way I want to go even though I'm poor lol. I would love you hear your expert opinions on how to go about creating my ranger, especially what bow(s) and skills to get. Thank you!

You might say read the guides but I did and they are mostly split between saying oh dex is pretty good and str is pretty good too... I want someone to say YEA! Str is better than dex, if you want to go str, use these stats, if you want str use these bows and armor and jewelry... And use these skills... Here's why ( because my str ranger kicks ass! )

Str build is crap unless your high lvl and even then its still quite a difficult build to work with.

Fyi ranger is slow lvling without all the lux and elixers so if u want to take the challenge of lvling one don't get half way and be one of those people who hit the forums to complain.

Give the new guy some hope. I made it to lvl 130 without getting plat. I'm sure he can do that too.

I made to 180 without plat It is a challenge to play any class without plat but you can play it well if u want. For str build there are not many skills you can put points in. The skills you should use for pure str are : Double shot, rapid shot, sharpen weapons/steady aim, bolas, light heal. I was full str from 1-110 so it worked out pretty good for me. You're also gonna need to buy heroic ammy for energy regen or put points in meditate cause energy becomes a problem or you can buy the golden quiver of rejuv/energisation. Gl and have fun

I would recommend going from the starter bows to a warbow to the ancient longbow which will get you to where you want to go (lvl 60). I would recommend you stat up like this: 2.1.0.2- though you might want to put some in focus early on. If your a ranger you cant get away from dex, but you can limit how much you have.

For skills:

Steady Aim- you can buy in ranger shop at level 15-you must bc this skill adds attack (which you will need every point you can get in it) and damage. KEEP IT MAXED.
Bolas-you get this one as a freebie near level 15- DO NOT MAX IT. Keep it working at 10 levels above your own (if ur level 20 you can bolas a lvl 30)- it sucks up energy but you will need it.
Double Shot- you can probably buy this or at a higher level you can go looking for it, it normally goes for 2-15k from a player (shops don't carry it)- same thing as bolas although its energy cost isn't as bad, keep it working 10 levels above your own.
Light heal- you need to be able to heal yourself- KEEP IT MAXED.
Rapidshot- this skill sucks until you can get it to 40/40 nowadays- alas the sorrow of the world. however some lower levels still use it and it can be nice, just an uber long cd- and can be an energy drain.
Meditate- Yes it sucks as a skill but its still efficient at what it does- energy regeneration. throw about 7 points in it and you will be fine until level 30-40.

For jewelry just use the stuff you get early on- as long as it doesn't take anything away. do the leystone quest itll give you a necklace that adds 40 health. You might want to get a ring of energy regen (+5 per tick) once you get near lvl 50 and then grab a heroic ammy.

I personally would not go str, as I have tried it numerous times and always gone back to dex. However, there are those that somehow make it work.

Wow thanks for the help!

Your welcome!
