rangers have 3 knockdown attacks in the beastmaster line:

Pounce - Your animal companion's next attack is a Pounce that deals +5...17 damage. If the attack strikes a moving foe, that foe is knocked down.

Bestial Pounce - Your animal companion attempts a Bestial Pounce that deals +5...17 damage. If the attack strikes a foe who is casting a Spell, that foe is knocked down.

Savage Pounce - factions copy of Bestial Pounce

Hey guys, thanks for the positive feedback, I'm trying a bunch of new stuff, a bunch of new videos are in development. I'm getting pretty lazy at posting them here if you haven't noticed.

I have a few more bosses that I can do, only two of them are rangers though. I'm experimenting alot in Rheas Crater, there are alot of interesting things there, many groups to pull together.

I'd like to ask if any of you guys could experiment with Lorelle Jade Cutter in Rheas Crater with this build. So far I have been able to get her alone, but no luck with the kill. I think its possible though.

My focus is still heavy on ranger bosses because I'm more into personal collecting than farming and selling. I'm getting to a few harder ones now.

If you check my profile on youtube you'll find some others you haven't seen before. I'll try to get them here asap.

Dragasa · Aug 05, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

i'm doing the same thing as you these days, just farming to collect things, don't care much about making money off of them. hence my "hit it and quit it" approach. if it doesn't drop it's no big deal, i can give it a try later.

i took my pet into Rhea's Crater yesterday to make a hit on Lorelle. i had the same problem as you, got her alone but couldn't finish her off. on the up side you can easily take down the outcasts groups there, and they seem to like giving me their luxon keys when they die. haven't tried taking on the oni there yet.

Their damage output is far too high for you to heal your pet and do damage @ the same time

Craze Horse · Aug 05, 2006, 03:42 PM // 15:42

I agree, the damage output is quite high, though the convient thing about this build is that you can be hiding behind a wall being shot at and your pet can be busy tanking away. All I need to find is somewhere to pull Lorelle with ample cover and it should be VERY easy.

on the chkkr thousand tail run where did you start from?

Craze Horse · Aug 06, 2006, 06:56 AM // 06:56

I'm not sure of the exact spelling, but Saint Anjelica's Shrine is where you must start from for that boss.

By the way guys, don't hesitate to PM me ingame with questions or comments, I love to talk to people if I'm not busy. Also if you liked the videos, rate them on youtube and spread the word.

Lorelle is dead.

i had just capped ferocious strike, decided to take it along to see how it worked for energy management. don't bother, stick with enraged lunge, it will go alot quicker. i brought along disrupting lunge to stop her troll ungent, but it seemed that if i kept spamming poisonous bite she would keep countering with antidote signet and neglect troll ungent. and disrupting lunge didn't always hit in time. didn't take too long, but enraged lunge would have made it alot quicker. just make sure to kill the rit if she has one, otherwise it will keep throwing up spirit of displacement. you can pull her up the hill (near the bridge where the oni spawn) and hug the cliff on the right, she will stay just below the crest and the cliff will block her attacks.

EDIT:
i was wrong about her not using troll ungent with poisonous bite. she will, but it doesn't matter. drop disrupting lunge for pred bond. and i didn't kill the rit with her (red dot on radar) becasue lorelle body blocked my pet, so it's doable even if you don't kill the rit, just might take a little longer.

EDIT2:
posted pic of her dropping the bow and one of me holding it. 3rd run.

Knowledge · Aug 06, 2006, 04:27 PM // 16:27

well i just soloed ghial with my pet.

Attributes:
15 Beastmastery
13 Expertise
9 Marksmanship

Skills:
Enraged Lunge [E]
Predator's Pounce
Poisonous Bite
Call of Protection
Predatory Bond
Call of Haste
Comfort Animal
Charm Animal

you hafta kill all the group leading up to ghial which can be pretty tedious and boring. yesterday i actually did a duo run, but yea today i tried a solo and killed ghial. he didn't drop for me though and sorry for no pics. at the very end when you reach ghial, you hafta try to pull out the others around him before going after him. if you happen to mess up, and ghial manages to get off a flesh golem, all you have to do is aggro the flesh golem with your pet, and lure it away from ghial, taking great care to make sure it is out of his aggro bubble. theres a point where you can move to where ghial will lose aggro but his golem will still follow. kill the golem. kill ghial.

its very important that you kill the golem out of ghials aggro otherwise, ghial will raise another and keep using taste of death to heal, and raise another.

other: on a side note, i was thinking of replacing predator's pounce for symbiotic bond. but i haven't tried that yet.

GJ with lorelle's man. Currently I'm trying Meynsang but will move on to Lorelle's soon.

Trylo · Aug 07, 2006, 08:32 PM // 20:32

im gunna try it on my elementalist, might work, might not... although using a meteor and savage pounce could effectively put a caster to shame. ill post if i can do it, i was gunna do 14 ES, 12 BM... put in maybe ice prison so they stick to the pet and not me

I beat Xueko, ended with around 67 health... not to great ... im thinking about throwing in troll unguent when not using Heal as One...

Skyy Forn · Aug 08, 2006, 06:58 PM // 18:58

Great job Crazy Horse! Finally some Beastmaster goodness. I've famred most of these with a touch build, but this way seems less... cheap. Besides, I'm not hurting for money.

Any place where I can get a better quality video of a few of your runs? I have the general idea down, but I think I am screwing up some fo the finer point of agro control with my pet. I don't think youtube lets you save video either.

lennymon · Aug 10, 2006, 02:14 AM // 02:14

so I cleared to and eliminated all the other in Lorelle's group, but I can't seem to keep her from killing Mr Pet, as soon as I res pet, blammo, dead again. Is there a trick for keeping her aggro on me (and not dying) so my pet can do his dirty work?

Goblinmatt · Aug 10, 2006, 02:19 AM // 02:19

Wow that really is amazing

Anyone have any ideas for a faction only build with no late game elites

Foamy · Aug 19, 2006, 01:09 AM // 01:09

Can someone please actually SHOW ME IN-GAME how to do this. Every time I try with Ghail, I get f-in rushed when I attack, and If i run back, My pet does as well, making the whole thing a waste of time. Please do not redirect me to the videos because they dont explain how to do it. I would like an IN-GAME visual. Thanks.

Nice builds

I'll have to try them later.

Thanas · Aug 19, 2006, 09:23 PM // 21:23

I use the beastmaster a lot, however since pets dont seem to aggro monsters in the same way players do i.e you cannot run monsters into pets very easily, runs can get very messy very easily. Also when running to a safe distance, pets have a tendancy to follow. Can anybody offer any insight here please. Thanks.

Butters1110 · Aug 20, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Nice builds gonna test them right now:

narud · Aug 20, 2006, 12:45 AM // 00:45

this may help in making my w/r beatmaster solo build =D

great build man.

Thanas · Aug 20, 2006, 03:31 AM // 03:31

Tried Ghial run and its great. Bagged myself another staff. I found it much faster on my ranger, than on my warrior. For me killing the 2-3 mobs b4 Ghial is no biggie. The run is over in under 10 mins probably, although I haven't timed it. In response to another post, I myself have tried symb bond with troll ungent and I'm not too keen on it. You are prone to taking too much damage. However, despite my sucess I am still finding pulling an issue, since you are more often the target rather than your pet.
