What happens when you combine a very ambitious ranger, a computer that can handle 10 programs running at once, and a movie making program?

You get a crapload of ranger solo videos like you have never seen before.

Recently I have put together tons of solo videos of bosses from Factions using a Beastmaster. 100% ranger skills. I hope you like all these videos, enjoy your green bows.

I have not seen any Beastmaster farming like this anywhere else, so if you think I stole your build, I'm sorry I did not. I've been running builds like this since the beginning of factions and modded versions before it even came out.

That is all for now, of course I still have many in development and I will post them as soon as I get the video's completed.

Positive comments and good ratings are appreciated if the movies are helpful and enjoyable. Feel free to post comments, questions, or even conserns you have with the videos.

Dude this totally rock but since anet put dp on pets does it still work.

Craze Horse · Aug 02, 2006, 06:10 AM // 06:10

I did these recently, the pet DP is applyed on all these videos so it is fine.

Dragasa · Aug 02, 2006, 07:08 PM // 19:08

nice build, got Chehbaba's bow on my second try. i also used this build to solo Ssyn Coiled Grasp earlier today (the rit boss in the archipelagos), and plan on trying it on Tomton Spiriteater at some point (the rit boss just north of Chehbaba).

penguo · Aug 02, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Gj Craze. I could vouch for you not stealing these because well I've played with you.You are the best ranger I ever seen.
You might remember me from QSL Phy's old old guild which you helped a ton.

I seem to be missing something here. What is the exact build he is using for the videos, I can't see the attributes, the skills and the weapons he is using. Other than that, I can't wait to try it out.

Dragasa · Aug 02, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Enraged Lunge
Predator’s Pounce
Call of Protection
Call of Haste
Predatory Bond
Run as One
Charm Animal
Comfort Animal

max expertise and max beast mastery

unsure what weapons he's using, but i don't have any +energy bows, so i use a regular bow and switch to a staff if i start running low on energy.

Craze Horse · Aug 02, 2006, 10:22 PM // 22:22

Dragasa pretty much nailed it, you switch the build slightly sometimes. On alot of warrior bosses with no healing, you would want to put in Heal As One and Symbionic Bond.

New videos will be added very soon!

penguo · Aug 03, 2006, 02:17 AM // 02:17

Well I said to Craze in-game I know there is a pet skill that causes daze..so I would like to try an ele. Any suggestions would be nice for who to try ,but for the build i think im gonna use mostly craze's build. I think I'm gonna end up playing my ranger until Nightfall. (rangers own)

penguo · Aug 03, 2006, 02:18 AM // 02:18

sorry.Double post.

Dragasa · Aug 03, 2006, 03:51 AM // 03:51

thanks you for this build Craze. i had alot of fun playing with this today. i used it to kill Royen Beastkeeper (he didn't drop for me) and then took a crack at Ghial. he dropped his staff on my first run. and even though Ssyn didn't drop for me earlier today i got a sup vig from a chest that was behind him, so it was still worth it.

for farming in the city i dropped run as one and replaced it with poisonous bite. there's a mob every 10ft in the city so you can't really run past anything, and the degen from the poison helps kill the rits who keep casting weapon of warding.

Thx

Horible · Aug 03, 2006, 06:08 AM // 06:08

Awesome build, just capped enraged now buyin the rest, will post back when i try it.

Dragasa · Aug 03, 2006, 08:41 PM // 20:41

for Ghial i used:

Enraged Lunge
Predator’s Pounce
Call of Protection
Call of Haste
Predatory Bond
Poisonous Bite
Charm Animal
Comfort Animal

i wasn't really trying to farm him, just seeing if i could kill him. i was basically doing a hit it and quit it run, taking shots at various bosses in cantha, then moving on to another. there's probably a better build for him, but i'm a newb at playing beastmaster and unfamiliar with alot of the skills.

i made the mistake of aggroing Ghial while trying to lure out some of the others and he raised a flesh golem off of a dead mesmer. once the golem is up he'll keep it up as long as your around, but if you die he'll let it drop. i tried killing him while he had the golem but couldn't out-heal the damage, so when my pet died i leroyed in and got myself killed. when you rez you need to start running, because Orosen and his mob will be camping the shrine. just go left past the guards and they'll start fight the mob, taking aggro off you and letting you slip by to go back to Ghial ( i tried to kill Orosen but couldn't our-damage his healing). when you get back to Ghial the golem will be gone. the JBs along the way come in 4 flavors : knight, mage, mesmer and rit. i kill them in that order. the rits will use weapon of warding, causing your pet to miss attacks, so keep an eye on him. if you see any of his attacks miss, stop using attack skills, that energy is better spent on keeping your pet healed. just wait for it to end and start spamming attacks again. i tried to get in poisonous bite whenever i could to keep their health dropping while weapon of warding is up. other than that ghial wasn't all that hard, but if you die i'd recommed killing a few JBs on your way back to boost your morale, you can use that extra energy.

unfortunately i haven't been able to watch all of Craze's videos. i have dial-up. the big update for the pvp weekend event just finished downloading yesterday. i only got to watch the first 10 seconds of the first video, figured out the skills he was using and just kind of went from there. so if Craze would be kind enough to list some of his skillbars for us slow folk it would be greatly appreciated.

The pet skill that causes Dazed is called Bestial Mauling, but it requires the foe to be knocked down. I don't think any ranger besides a bunny thumper has any knockdown method, so farming caster bosses with efficient healing is, i believe, impossable with this build.

It is a brilliant build however, and switching between the builds was smart, especially since you need Heal As One for some of these bosses.

I have to try that ghail solo with a ranger, and all of these other ones, except that ranger Yeti boss because his bow stinks -_-
