Celtic Heroes

Wow ... More info ... And a lot of which i never saw or can confirm.

I have used a lot of rebirths and reskills over the 151 levels and i have always gone back to max out dex ...

I only have 100 strength and have tried all kinds of bows and rings and such ... Always saw dex as the key to doing more damage.

For me ...

S 100/135
D 485/500
F 20/40 LOL
V 175/210

I tend to use group spells and skills for ranger ... Entangle and defense spikes work great for me.

I max out sharp shot 35/35 ... Steady aim 35/35 ... Light heal 35/35 ...

I put 25 points into both spikes and net using royal rings to add 5 more points.

But with all the chatter about a strength build, i never found a better ranger than this setup i use now.

Admittedly, when i was a lower level, i found bolas a great help, it now that i am in a lot more group battles, i find the teamwork aspect of net and spikes to be of great benefit to quick mob kills.and being able to heal over 700 helps me, the tank and even sometimes the druid under fire.

Anyway ... My opinion ... LOL we all have one ... LOL

Keep Questing !:o-o:!

Great post Rhobert. When I was fighting wisps, druids, and eyes I found a str heavy build was the best. Now that I'm fighting rock guys I have found a dex heavy build is working better.

the reason I love being a ranger is we have the most options and can play many styles. If you ask 10 rangers their stats you will get 10 different answers.

If bthey made bows off of dex you would see a dex full and vit full and then they would be op. O.o

Although I only have used a bow before, I might consider using knucks more often. They are incredible. I would encourage other rangers who are dex based to try them.

My Rogue uses knucks which are awesome but what makes them awesome is poison weapon. I have not used knucks with my ranger because well unless you can get rapid shot to work with them, its just not worth it. It is soo much better to bolas and shoot from a distance instead of going toe to toe. IMHO the only real reason to go HTH with a ranger is if you want to share lux with your other alts to save money. A ranger with a golden sword offhand and knucks is nothing more than a rogue without poison. Entangle can help though, if it hits you survive longer and can do more damage.

Spikes makes up for lack of poison weapon , I do prefer bow for xp though , max damage on ranger is knucks though .

Wow. Knucks for max dmg on ranger? That is so cool!

On a side note, yeah spikes r awesome, and steady aim adds quite a bit of dmg AND attack.
