Why use Dex? Now I'm not a ranger but if you use a spear(no skills except double and skewer, both of which based on auto damage) I'd be full strength or close to it. Dex seems useless. Maybe that's why rangers say they have bad dps. ._.

First,we are not attarted and you should create a ranger too.
Bow rangers use strenghs and get 2700 +dmg with dl bow and quiver but they cant tank a mob like i can do it with dex build, it mean they use restos and idols.
I used full strenght build with spear and went to 2900-3000dmg but this game is broken and i didnt see much difference for the dps, I only died without light heal and restos. So i went back spear dex coz i dont want to waste,have to use plat items and i dont have lvl 180druid alt.

As a warrior with not so great gear I have better stats. When I decide to go DPS I'll post pics. Your stats are not impressive at all(now I know why). Rogues have way worse survivability than rangers so if you want similar dps go full str.

He wasnt after a dps build, he has higher dex so that he can hit more, evade more, and have more op heals and stuff. His auto should also be sufficient too for a more "tanking build." U shouldve looked closer at his posts.

I have switched to being a spear ranger but i need help with it to know if its worth being one and what skills
spear rangers use

Hey Darkveil,

If you gave more info about your spear ranger, like level and current gear it would be easier to give you advice. Also knowing what you wanted from your spear ranger as well would help.

Anyhow I created a solo spear ranger and wrote in detail what i used for the build and gear @ lvl 120

Alexandre calls it the "passive hedgehog build" bc the build uses passive damage from damage cloaks and spikes.

eitherway i'm enjoying the build very much and actually just like grinding through my lvls with it. When i do power level the spear ranger i've been using my Mage casting a full fire cloak onto my ranger to watch the damage numbers fly off the tops of the mob's heads.

here's the post

If OTM create one or all of this 3 skills, Spear Ranger can rivalize with Spear Warrior and Rogue and be a good build for ranger lvl1-180

Spear Throw: dmg skill same as Longshot with distance req

Good concept, however there is a slight problem after you throw your spear. Your enemy has your weapon now…

In the typical battle scenario, a fighter who throws a spear then takes out a weaker secondary weapon (sword for example) and continues fighting with that. The spear isn't retrieved until the battlefield has settled.

After throwing the spear, the ranger must approach within melee distance of the enemy and pick it back up.

Though, in a game where quivers have infinite arrows, I suppose this matter could be brushed off as a minor technicality. All spears could be "enchanted boomerangs" and somehow return to the rangers hand.

-Defense: same as defensive formation or the rogue skill with the the blue hand i dont remenber the name. We tank the mob like a rogue or a warrior but we dont have def buff skill.

- Rage strike: heavy dmg when mob hp is under 50%.

Duplicate functionality—I think that classes should have unique skills. If rangers have fast reflexes and assassinate, that blends the line between rogues and rangers.

Why not rename Rage Strike to Crippling Strike? Prevents target from using any skills for X seconds. Make it instant cast and guaranteed interruption.

This would make rangers even more important for boss fights. The skill might need a nerf for PvP, though.

I agree with Alexandre49, we need a defense increasing skill. I don't care if its a group buff, personally I would prefer to have as a personal buff or one that you can only cast on 1 person at a time. Warr can have group defensive buff in my opinion.

About spear throw, I thought character throw the spear and it automatically respawn in player hand after 2seconds.
Or character has to run near the mob for take out his spear.
Btw I dont think to make new skills for spear users is in the Otm plans.
