I'm a warrior with ranger as my secondary. I didn't realise what a mistake it was to take ranger until now. I'm level 11 already and it would be a lot of work to start over. I am looking for any suggestions as to how I can make the best of it.

As you can see in my picture, I have 6 Strength and 8 swordsmanship (7+1 from warrior's helmet). My shield requires 6 strength and my sword 8 swordsmanship so I would rather not change those.

Right now I have 3 diverted to beast mastery. I used to have a lot of points invested in it until I realised it was pretty much useless... I could leave it as is and keep using my animal as a scapegoat for taking damage. I could divert points into marksmanship and get a bow but I don't think it would be very effective for anything. I could put it into wilderness survival but all of the spells I've looked at sound useless also. Or I could just forget that I'm part ranger and put all the points into warrior skills. I am looking for any advice at all, so don't be afraid to tear it apart.

OMG, lol...

Ranger secondary a bad choice!?

I think I'm gonna cry.

Actually, I felt the same way at first.

I then got apply posion, throw dirt, and traps. With the change to BM I might even do the beast master warrior sometime.

Don't knock it, get a good bow and play your secondary skills BM/WS/Mark only instead of doing melee for a change of pace. does good in hench groups actually. Warrior/Ranger isn't bad and versitle IMO

Hmm, just incase you really are not happy, you do ge a chance to change your secondary proffesion later

All builds are useable, use wilderness survival.

Well in PvE apply poison and cyclone axe is a good combo....

I would go with Beast Mastery. use Ferocious Strike as your elite and your pet will feed you mana and adrenaline- enough for you to use all your special attacks almost twice as often. Also, Tigers Fury is like Frenzy except no double damage.

Antidote Signet (believe it or not) is actually decent in arenas since you are blinded so often.

Crystal Desert, after the sage lands. As for self sufficiency, I think you'll find most warrior/monks owning you at tanking. However w/r do have their own skills, and tiger's fury is nice. As for the elite, i'd trash the pet and stick with spike damage. Eviscerate does around 142 damage, putting the deep wound in account.

What's funny about this is I've been seriously considering switching my W/Mo (finished the game) to W/R. R is a much better secondary for a warrior, IMHO. But at low levels, you are probably right..you just don't have enough points to use any secondary profession very well. So play as pure W until you get the great R skills like Throw Dirt and Whirling Defense...

I'd rather have vigorous spirit, mending, live vicariously, healing breeze, or balthazaars spirit, as well as smiting for a warrior. I'm a biggy for arenas so I'd rather pack self sufficiency. If I ever do tombs I switch to a necro secondary or occasionally ranger secondary for the rituals.

GranDeWun · Jul 01, 2005, 02:52 PM // 14:52

I'm leaning to the theory that specialization is the way to go in PvP...let the monks heal, let the warriors tank, etc. So R skills help make warriors tougher, and seem like a good fit. But it's hard to generalize...except to say that no one likes to include W/Mos in tombs PUGs!

Enigmatics · Jul 01, 2005, 02:53 PM // 14:53

Yeah, I'm stubborn like that. After meeting several crappy monks in droknars, I decided to do monk secondary when I'm casually pvping.
