Celtic Heroes

This is getting to the point of stupidity. I've tried every different combo of stats possible and they all seem to only work in pvp. So if we can please get some numbers on how to effectively kill those god damn eye things with out losing our health or dieing would be awsome. I'm not enjoying this game At the moment because of this problom.

I'll post my build and we can go from there. This is all pre-update and I haven't changed a thing yet (except Bolas)

Lvl 83 ranger
Strength - 165
Dex - 65
Focus - 95
Vitality - 105

Bolas 16/20
Steady Aim 15/20
Light Heal 15/20
Sharp Shot 15/20
Barb Shot 15/20
Rapid Shot 12/20
nothing in anything else

Astral Gloves, Warden helm, boots, greaves, Anc leather Breast, Ancient warbow, Bronze ammy.

Because of my low Dex and high Str my Rapid Shot and Auto attack were doing the most dmg last night, sorry can't remember numbers.

My light healing gives 133hp now, pre-update it gave 200. How high will Dex need to be to get it back up to 200? If I figure that out then I think I can rebuild from there and use my book of rebirth. All the skills based on Dex are much weaker now than before the update so my Dex NEEDS to come up but I don't know how much yet.

My plan is to switch most from Focus and Vit into Dex. The question is how much? Decrease Focus and Vit down to 80? 70? 60? each and place all into Dex afterwards?

Serious number crunching awaits me lol

Anexander
Golgotha
Morrigan

Lvl 80 Ranger all warden except chest ancient lammelar, ancient warbow and golden quiver of rejuv.

1st build
Str 135
Dex 135
Focus 70
Vit 80

Actually this is my 2nd build since update first I tried putting more str and dex leaving foc and vit too low which made me lose to much energy too quickly. Vitality needed to come up because it seems as of right now we are taking some hits because of the overpowering of mobs. Auto attack seems to be hitting pretty well but i've def lost power in sharp and other shots.

I moved bolas up 2 to 17 besides that sharp 15, steady aim 15,rapid 15,light heal 15, barbed only at 8 but not a big user of barbed. There will be alot more tweaking along the way as I gain new things like entangle and the other new skills but as of right now i'm staying alive(well kinda, lol)

i am level 93 ranger using a diamond bow:

str: 92
dex: 219
Focus: 40 (have rejuv quiver and silver ammy) (512 energy)
Vitality: 134 (1068 health)

my skills are:
sharp: 21/25
steady aim: 6/21
bolas: 21/25 (plus a ring) - can bola lvl 115
rapid: 23/25
heal: 15/25

11 skill points not in use - saving for def spikes.

overall, i am fairly satisfied with my build. my high dex allows me to hit with most shots. i tend, at least against eyes, to do 150-200 dmg per shot. This works out nicely when combined with rapid fire.

the high vitality lets me survive (with a heal or 2) the eyes fairly well. I can solo most eyes without using health potion if i am careful. If i am on an xp potion, i use health potions, am a bit less carefull (not using bolas) but i can kill fairly quick. The fast sharp shot works well.

Since these high lvl creatures can resist/evade my bolas and sharp shot - i am putting more focus into my standard attacks - rapid fire and steady aim. I will see how effective spikes are when i get them - if i dont like, i will put into rapid and steady aim (a little into sharp).

In general, at each level i have been putting 2 points into dex, 2 points into str, and one into Vitality - so my damage is definitely increasing each level. I may start to put a point from str or vit into focus - just so i dont suddenly find my self running out. but if i only use bolas once to start, then i have had no issues.

I am overall, quite pleased with the build.

Hope this helps

Hey Saxo I know what your going through as of right now I'm stuck on the eyes also. I've tried different builds to no avail. I believe they geared this update for a more group atmosphere any other mmorpg i've played a single or 2 star mob of the same lvl or lower should not be anywhere as difficult as they are now I hope they will tone it down alot with the understanding that alot of people like to grind themselves and don't have the ability to be in a large group all the time. I know their going to bring down stonevale too. Which right now is unplayable to most ppl. I completed 3 of the new ability quests and willpower is starting to train not sure if that will help or not. All I can say is as of right now I don't think it's your build it's one thumb mobile making things way too overpowered.

I feel like I've been very successful in the update. These are my stats.
5 str
340 dex
100 focus
105 vit

Make sure your bolas is high enough to slow down the level of your enemy. I would max out light heal. Them sharp and barbed shot rapid shot and steady aim to your desired level. This should help y'all out. After I have finished tweaking my build I will post my a guide again. For now this build works for PVP and PVE, except pvp against mages is hard. Need more vit and Have max bandages and light heal to duel mages. Take care and happy hunting!

with such low strength - what is your average damage from a regular shot and a sharp shot - if i may ask.

also, at what level of skill to you find bolas/rapid really start to reduce your energy? at 40 focus with total of 25 rejuv i have had no issues yet so i have not yet upped my focus.

thanks, and you ranger guides are great.

just got a repid fire +1 ring so i am at 26/25. now i see the energy drain!

gpnna start getting some more into focus. if i am careful, i can still manage with what i have. but i like more breathing room.

yeah, i am noticing that rapid fire at 26/25 gives me only about 4 more shots than at 15/25. i may rebuild.

I am curious as to the type of damage you are seeing with low strength. Against most things, by normal shots do 100-250 damage. thanks

Thanks for all the opinions. I randomly picked them and they seem to be working fine a little more tweaking and I'll be fine. But I can't tell you because sense day one of this game it's a rangers secret to conceal his stats in herne
