i havnt gotten to play much and i was wondering what a great r/m build or a good one would be with yalls opinions. i want to use monk for heal and some protect spells and ranger for damage but would like to have pet also.

well, what yall have to remember is the are many ways to build a ranger/monk. Yall can use yall bow to fire at yonder men with dmg buffs from yall smite line (monk).

Yall also use traps

Yall can also use heals to help yall kin who get cut bad.

Yall do whatever yall want

If you want to use Expertise and Marksmanship to be a caster killer Ranger then there are a few routes:

Smiting line: Get a buff from Judge's Insight for damage. You can mess around with some other smiting skills, but Judge's insight is the main one.

Protection line: Use Sheild of Deflection and skills like Reversal of Fortune to help heal you when you are taking too much damage. This is good because in GvG you can run and tank for a while maybe even go after a Guild Lord.

Healing line: I'm not a fan of this because it takes a lot of energy. But you can heal yourself. If you go with this I would take Restore Life because Rangers have high defense.

These three are the ones I would go with.

You'll be spreading yourself too thin. Ideally, what you seem to want is a R/Mo with Expertise, Marksmanship, Beast Mastery, Healing Prayers and Protection Prayers? No, this is not going to help yourself or your team with this kind of build. A ranger doesn't have the kind of energy regen or energy pool to keep all of this going (and I think Marksman's Wager would be waste of a spot to even try to).

You have to figure out what you want to focus doing with this build and if it is for PvP or PvE. One wise set up that might include what you want to do is go with 10 Expertise, 11 Marksmanship, 10 Healing Prayers and 1 Beast Mastery. Your skills could look something like this:

Charm Animal
A heal spell
A res spell (if you are in a team)
Bow Attack 1
Bow Attack 2
Bow Attack 3
Preparation/Dmg increaser
Defense Skill or Spell
(or Comfort/Revive Animal for your pet)

You're looking at a fairly strong offense ranger that can provide some heals if needed. If you prefer focusing on Healing/Supporting your team more, go Mo/R.

staindreality · Apr 04, 2005, 11:22 PM // 23:22

or how about this
10 Expertise, 11 Marksmanship, 5 Healing Prayers 5 protection prayers?

A heal spell
A res spell (if you are in a team)
Bow Attack 1
Bow Attack 2
Bow Attack 3
Preparation/Dmg increaser
Defense Skill or Spell

or i was thinking maybe r/e
10 expertise, 10 marksmanship, maybe some in wilderness so i could use toll urgent to heal, and then 10 or so in fire, or lightning( i think fire is stronger?)

troll urgent?
bow1
bow2
bow3
conjure flame
another fire spell?
maybe a speed spell

please let me know your opinion on either of these and if the second one is good or maybe would be better if it were w/e. i just want to be able to have goood damage and be able to heal myself also. it is really just for pve at first (pvp later)i like to solo at least half the time so i want to be able to do battle without dieing if ya get me drift?

Possible R/Mo:
10 Expertise
11 Marksmanship
10 Healing Prayers (Protection Prayers are not worth a ranger using since they are heavy on the energy which a ranger must manage carefully.)

Possible R/E:
9 Expertise
10 Marksmanship
8 Wilderness Survival
9 Fire/Air magic (Neither is stronger. Fire is more AoE based and Air is more single target based.)

Possible W/E:
9 Strength
10 Sword/Axe/Hammer Mastery
8 Tactics (for soloing you would need Heal Signet from here, though W/Mo is far better at soloing.)
9 Fire/Air magic

Skills are for you to determine.

Barrage, Judge's Insight, Hunter's Shot, Debilitating Shot, Pin Down, Restore Life and some more stuff.

Waylayer · Mar 31, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

Ranger:
Escape, Storm Chaser, Healing Spring, Troll Unguent, (Vampiric mod), Throw Dirt, Dryder's Defenses, Pin Down, Lightening Reflexes...the list goes on and on.
