It sounds like its lack of experience beating you here. The advice that puts you at a distance is best.
For interrupts you need "skill" interrupts not "spell" interrupts. Leech Sig(Insp), Cry of Frustration(Dom), Signet of Disruption(Dom). Power Leak and Spike can only interrupts spells...not signets. Gale or any other KD will interrupt it also. Its a 2 sec cast time so try to get a couple shots of damage first if you can and interrupt at the last.
The ele option offered is very good.
Practice reacting to your opponents skills. Don't forget if you are using hexes(necro/mez etc) then you need to cover your important hexes with a Parasitic Bond or something similar so his Holy Veil doesn't remove vital hexes.
Practice some more so you know when to cast what.
DO NOT USE MELEE ANYTHING VS HIM until you can at least beat him with a ranged character.
Don't know what else to say. GL beating him.

Complicate or power return

As a ranger, you have to use something that makes your attacks unavoidable. Seeking arrows, guiding hands, guided weapon, way of the fox, fox's promise.

Mad Punisher · Mar 23, 2007, 04:46 AM // 04:46

It seems your biggest problem is the stances he is using. Knowing his build you should be able to kill him with any of you characters easily...i would agree with BryanM build on assasin. It's propably the riskiest, but also the the fastest...if he preveils go a/me with drain enchantment or sth he should die with the combo in 5sec gl

[skill]Reaper's Mark[/skill][skill]Faintheartedness[/skill][skill]Parasitic Bond[/skill][skill]Insidious Parasite[/skill][skill]Price of Failure[/skill][skill]Signet of Lost Souls[/skill][skill]Leech Signet[/skill][skill]enfeeble[/skill]

Attributes:
Soul Reaping -> 12+1+1
Curses -> 11+1
Inspiration Magic -> whatever is left

use parasitic bond as a cover hex so he can not remove reapers mark and faintheartedness with Holy Veil. All you have to do is throw the hexes on in this order:
1)Reapers Mark
2)Faintheartedness
3)Insidious Parasite
4)Price of Failure
5)Parasitic Bond

once he is below 50% health, use signet of lost souls for energy and/or health. when he trys to heal sig, interupt it. He should go down super fast and you can laugh in is face, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Osi Ri S · Mar 29, 2007, 01:46 AM // 01:46

^^ you can only interupt his heal sig every 30 sec so that build probably wont work as planned, especially since he said the guy doesnt attack when he has SS or any of those kinds of skills on him.

Personally id go Me/X

Crippling Anguish
Some Degen skills
then some interupts for skills (more than one)

and you shouldnt have any problem

Polynikes of Sparta · Mar 29, 2007, 09:16 AM // 09:16

try to kill him with another riposte warrior of yours, then ill ROFL myself to death:

gash
deadly riposte
riposte
final thrust
gldiator's defense
bonettis defense
watch yourself
heal sig

ftw, LMAO

fleetia · Mar 29, 2007, 09:25 AM // 09:25

Guildmate of mine uses that, and it's annoying.

Simple ranger build will get you there.

Barbed trap
Flame trap
Kindle arrows (while hes limping)
Poison arrow [E]
Distracting Shot
Natural Stride
Troll Unguent
Whirling Defense

I could beat my guildmate with 5 of these skills eliminating the bottom three.

ss1986v2 · Mar 29, 2007, 09:30 AM // 09:30

everything has already been said, but again, degen + interrupt = win.

[skill]Crippling Anguish[/skill][skill]Conjure Phantasm[/skill][skill]Complicate[/skill][skill]Signet of Disruption[/skill][skill]Rust[/skill]

throw in images of remorse, GoLE, leech sig, whatever else you like. riptose warrior is just so easy to beat as a caster. heck, an air spike with rust can drop a riptose warrior (6 second heal sig + hammer, orb, strike = hilarious). you just have to know how to play the game.

alen · Mar 29, 2007, 03:32 PM // 15:32

You can also go W/Me with a sword, ripostes and ilussionary weaponry. Flawless

Tedy · Mar 29, 2007, 09:02 PM // 21:02

IW triggers ripostes

He'd be stooping down to his guildie's level by being desperate enough to actually change characters just to counter his build and win.

Stop wasting your time in 1v1's. Each of you need to grab the 4 henches in the guild hall and duke it out as a 5v5. If he stills wants to run a pansy defensive build, let him.....you can tear his team apart with a good build and laugh when he's barely doin anything to yours.

If you're really wanna do a 1v1, set a few rules: no ripostes, no defensive stances, and no using skills from your 2ndary prof......the one who hits the hardest will win.

samcobra · Mar 30, 2007, 03:56 AM // 03:56

you're a ranger right? have you ever heard of a skill called distracting shot? How about a couple skills that cause cripple?-{crip shot, pin down}, maybe some natural stride, a troll, and some other damage? mending touch if you're scared?

Seriously, how do you lose to a warrior with a ranger? Thats like... absurd. Are you running like Power shot barrage pet or some other random pve shit like that? I don't even understand how this question comes up. Sorry, but not only are you bad at the game, but you're an idiot because you think that 1 v 1 is a way to prove that you're NOT bad at the game. Please, you and your opponent should realize your shortcomings and actually learn2play.

Pin Down when the warrior is too close, after which he'll plague touch you

smrandom · Mar 30, 2007, 03:59 PM // 15:59

I'd suggest the Reaper's Mark degen build mentioned above with some tweaks:

Shatter Enchantment
Reaper's Mark
Parasitic Bond
Faintheartedness
Insidious Parasite
Empathy
Complicate
[Optional]

If he's using Holy Veil to counter your hexes, then Shatter Enchantment will provide a little spike damage. The three degen hexes are nice because together its a total of 9 degen and they all outlast their recharge, meaning you can keep these on your opponent constantly (provided you have the energy). It also means he can't sit back and wait for Insidious Parasite and Empathy to wear off (you might wait until he's in melee range before casting these). Complicate is a nice interrupt against Healing Signet, but it won't recharge before the disabling effect wears off, so you might consider another interrupt, like Web of Disruption or Signet of Disruption. If he is relying heavily on Holy Veil to remove/counter the enchantments, you can either bring a second enchantment removal or denial skills, like Diversion or Blackout (after you've applied all the hexes).

In any event, don't listen to those here who are critical of how you play the game. Play it however you want.

Effigy · Mar 30, 2007, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Reaper's Mark is meant to be spammed on multiple enemies, due to low cast, fast recharge, and build-in emanagement. Using it in a 1v1 fight would be pointless.

Spoil Victor is the way to go for necro hexes. Combine with degen/life steals and/or anti-melee Curses. Win by default.

Evilsod · Mar 30, 2007, 10:33 PM // 22:33

You could just do Mantra of Persistance w/ Illusion of Pain/Crippling Anguish/Accumulated/Rust/Complicate. Should be dead pretty soon.

Polynikes of Sparta · Mar 30, 2007, 11:28 PM // 23:28

Please, close this absolutely pointless thread. Seriously, just use your brain. Look up the skills Riposte and Deadly Riposte on GuildWiki and see what is and what is not effective against it. To make a thread with almost 40 posts on how to "beat" two skills is absurd. Even more absurd than a Ranger not being able to beat a Warrior.

It was a joke, although in 1v1 e-peen battles I honestly don't think you can go lower no matter what you play, everything is pretty pathetic.

Pwnd by a guineapig · Mar 31, 2007, 03:48 AM // 03:48

Ripo warriors should be easy to kill... Besides just cast empathy + Spiteful spirit or take away spiteful spirit and put insidious parasite and life transfer... Oh yeah also bring plague touch so you can give the warrior his own conditions he made you suffer.
