Ranger Skill Guide:

I recently altered and rebirthed and thought i would record skill progressions here. Of most interest is the rapid fire which actually has changes in cooldown.

all were done with Dex=765 (840) - but the patterns (delta between skill points) should be the same regardless of starting point. I hope it helps someone plan their ranger!

extrapolating to 21 points - 17, 35, 77 - 49% <-- seems like a winner

I think at lvl 21 rapid in your extrapolated table would be 17, 36 giving 47% again ?

Your table shows rapid time increasing by one sec per two points. Is this correct, or does rapid time increase by half a sec per point?

If there is actually a half sec increase per point, the various ratio variations will be nulled, i.e. the benefit is linear, never reaching a 50% ratio.

In short, the rapid/cooldown ratio gain is under-proportionate for each new point put into it, and energy cost increase is over-proportionate.

light hel is wrong bro, i checked.

Good guide tho

How can you check , you don't have 840 dex...

oh damn, my bad, sorry xyn ;(

Thanks elim lol;)

good question about rapid fire. i was just doing my best with a stop watch (iphone) - so 0.5 second is easily within error. also, there may very well be a typo or two in there.

I learned a lot by playing with max dex for a day - like how the heck did elim get a 1300+ heal!

i have changed back to a normal build again - this time a dex build.

Lots and lots of dex :p

I'm lucky though I have (2) vagrants dex bracelets with +5 light heal on them .

I always thought , and I may be wrong , that rapid was 50/50 on/off regardless of level , the only difference being the casting of the skill , i tried timing it at many levels as well , it's very tough to be 100% accurate looking at a clock and the screen at same time .

i had my light heal at 50 also, plus all the dex i could possibly get (quiver, 2 bracelets, trident, diamond armor). The only thing i can improve, would be my first aid skill. I bet you have maxed first aid (mine is high and i have some rings, but there is about 250 pts left to go).

as for rapid fire, it is so close to 50% that it may very well be margin of error. Shame we can't build it up to be on rapid like 75% of the time.

I had never paid much attention to the cooldown for rapid. My new build no longer has max rapid. I am now at 20(25) rapid and max sharp shot. I have nothing in focus (just the normal 10), so reducing the energy so dramatically (20 rapid is like 72 energy, 35 is like 192) helps a lot. bolas is still a bit of a killer though, but i don't usually need too much of it.

Eliminator, what is your dmg stat? I am almost afraid to ask.

thx all

1410 or so with frozen bow , same build different gear , heals 1100 hp

This is very useful ty
