Sharp Shot is not good if you have dps... it is a dex based skill.

SS is nice during Rapid Shot down time :p

Hey s8rr. I'm not the best expert on rangers but from what I know most dps melee classes are fairly standard whether rogue, warrior or ranger. As you level put about max points of 300-350 points in strength, 1.5k-2.5k in health, and rest in dex. I know some dps rangers are highly against dex but honestly it does you no good if you have a massive amount of strength and miss half the time. If you can obtain some damage bracelets then this will also help with increasing your dps.

Skills:
Light heal
Rapid shot
Bolas
Steady aim
Sharp shot (if you get a decent amount of dex)

Just understand there are alot of different opinions when it comes to rangers. This is the best advice I can give you whether it be right or wrong. Most of my information is from reading many of the posts here on forums and it seems to me this build is suitable for most dps builds.

Most damage I found you can obtain from knuckle blades and a golden blade, I'm currently dps with 300 str, 300 dex, 10 fox, 150 vit. I out damage most peeps even when they are on supercombo but I do have most items I wouldn't suggest going over 300 str and then adding to dex, your hits need to be fast and accurate. A dps with low attack sucks because they miss 2 out of 3 hits the extra dex also helps to avoid being hit so much when you pull the aggro of a mob and it adds to your heal so you can heal yourself fully mid fight I'd suggest for leveling if you have a Druid then go 3 str 1 dex, 0 foc, 1 vit every level and stop adding vit at 100, or go 2 str, 2 dex, 0 foc, 1 vit.
I know it doesn't sound like str build but tbh you get most of your damage from peirce/slash/crush items like bloodlust helm, bracelets, necklace, pathfinder armour, the summer dragon armours rings necklaces......

You need it maxed too and I can only just max mine at level 146 after I max the skills I use more if you don't max it it hits like 30 and you have missed a auto attack where you could hit 500

Huh? I'm nowhere near your level, but this is a first to see someone say SS overrode their Auto. AFAIK, only rogues have that problem (QS overrides auto), With or Without RapidShot (and I did state OUTside of RS)

Can you clarify?

Thanks!

Yea it overrides my auto I did testy things on it it's like as pauses the time on a continual clock:
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 sharp shot 2 3
It doesn't go:
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2h3rp shot
On every 3 you do a auto attack

@ L146 with 300 Dex, your "base" attack without gear is 1760; that's 1460 from your Ability (assuming maxed here) and 300 from Dex (1:1 ratio with Attack)
So your Dex contributed a whopping 17% to your Attack. Again, that's Before Gear. I'm guessing your Attack is actually around what... 2300 or more? 300 of that is 13%. That's how much Dex helped your accuracy.

I don't think I said anything about rapid :-/

It also adds to bolas, light heal and my defence

AFAIK, it's never been proven that Dex did anything for Bolas, tho I understand some rangers believe it lets Bolas stick better. I practically doubled my Dex when I upgraded to Golden Ice (100-175) and I still miss as much lol.

As for Light heal, you may want to look at Xyn's thread
http://www.celtic-heroes.com/forum/view ... 50&t=26013

I have 25 in Light heal, and with 175 Dex it heals for 354ish. Her 840 DEX @ 25 heals 584. That's 665 Dex giving 230 more pts...


But yes, Dex does help with Def (1:2 ratio), which is the 2nd reason why I even raise it beyond 10 lol.
