Hello!
I am going to be lixing my ranger alt to 200 in the next 1-2 months. So far I have this for him
-100 cold dmg / 600 defence / 1000 hp Mordris helm
-Shadow agonizing strike Necro bow
-full skain frost set
- 2 120 str / 100 dex / 900 hp prot braces
- DL I don't have currently but will of course get
- 2 +6 sharpen weapons prot ring and a +6 steady aim prot ring
My gear looks pretty solid but I have two questions. . .
1. I'll have 1000 free points to spend at 200, how many should points should I put in str, vit, dex and/or focus?
2. I have seen a lot of debate over quivers, should I get the 210 str haste quiver or the 400 elemental dmg dex attack quiver? (I am assuming the str haste one but I'm not a ranger expert lol)
Thanks for reading and appreciate any responses!
Skain set is terrible.
The stats are bad and they add minimal attack. I'd HIGHLY recommend using a runic valour ammy with 4 runic valour ring (you can hotswap skill rings). Braces are also not great. You want to maximize attack as bosses have high defense so I'd recommend swapping those braces out as soon as possible for prot attack braces however in the meantime would recommend the lvl 200 shop dex brace giving 400 attack + 100 dex so 500 more attack. Also, the mord helm needs changing. No attack as well (if you haven't realized by now attack is very important lol). If possible grab a victory, duelist, earth or moon mordris helm. Quiver obiously use the strength one as it adds attack and the pierce damage is far superior to the elemental. I'd also suggest getting rid of the necro bow for raids for the shop one which adds 700 bow (700 attack + dmg). SKills I would HIGHLY recommend sharpen weapons, Steady aim, double shot, sharp shot and bolas. Rest in light heal or rapid shot. Stats with this gear i'd suggest full dex as str is very outdated on rangers. Str plateaus at 100/400/900/1600. Personally, i'd recommend 400 str if poor gear and 900 str if very nice gear. The dex adds buffs to skills as well as more attack which again is the most important stat for endgame bossing. Good luck
few things i disagree with here. Firstly, for a level 200 who will be leveing at revenant room, a frost set is great. Ice damage str dex defence energy is really nice and the same with sea helm. there is a reason people use sea helm at rev and crag over attack helms. Its broken op there lol Damage (specifically ice damage which is broken in summoning floor) health and defence. Amazing combo for leveling. Sure once your end game look for an attack helm but even then, sea helm beats edl hood.
Gimme a shadow necro bow over vendor bow any day of the week. Necro bows hit speed cap with nice damage and good procs aswell. Vendor bow is slow and doesnt hit as hard. Speed and procs more than make up for 700 attack. Remember bow speed affects dbl, barbed and longshot cast speeds as well as means more autos over equal periods of time.
Also at level 200 simply put, 400 strength doesnt even come close to being enough. 900 is ideal but minimum should be 6-700.
Also dont use light heal for spare points. Get much more heal out of a resto and you dont lose any dps at all like you would when casting heal. Heals great for a new player but at level 200 and being an alt, just resto it all the way.
Dont think i missed anything. Running on vlose to no sleep
