R/Mo Skills
Burning Arrow (Elite)
Distracting Shot
Savage Shot
Apply Poison
Mending Touch
Natural Stride
Troll Unguent
Res Sig

If I choose Mesmer secondary, I would replace Mending Touch with Epidemic. Which is the better build?

R/Mo, for survivability

Wakka · Dec 15, 2007, 04:21 PM // 16:21

Well it depends what your onna be doing mate tbh.

If your main aim is too PvE, then Epidemic is probably your better choice as you dont really have to worry about survivability as much as you would in PvP (you should still bring Troll and Stride, but condition removal can be handled by your monks).

This build was orginially created for killing NPCs in GvG, and Mending Touch was only really in there to remove conditions as you would be doing it solo so its not really that necessary if you have a team with monks.

I would suggest bringing it if your going to play your Ranger in RA though as god knows what you'll get

Yeah, this build is strictly PvE

Go /Me then, letting Epidemic do something.

I've found few areas as a ranger where I needed MTouch in PvE, condition removal on the monks does fine.

Lourens · Dec 15, 2007, 04:44 PM // 16:44

ye [skill]epidemic[/skill] would be a better choice and later on you can capture [skill]fevered dreams[/skill] if your bored from [skill]burning arrow[/skill]

serpentdragon · Dec 15, 2007, 04:54 PM // 16:54

Ok, thanks all!

Yea, i find in Condition heavy areas that firing some points into Restoration magic and bringing Pure Was Mi Ling really helps the entire team

R/Mo end of story.

Assuming you're ignorant and didn't read the thread rather than stupid, this is a thread about PvE, there's no reason to bring Mending Touch over Epidemic in PvE.

r/mo for rebirth, rangers are usually one of the last to be targeted by the enemies so if things go bad you can run and rebirth everyone.

you don't need res in a party of 8...most likely with some h/h involved.

Condition spreading ftw in pve!

Moonlit Azure · Dec 17, 2007, 12:01 AM // 00:01

If you want for pve, go /Me.

My favorite in pve though is [skill]barrage[/skill] and [skill]splinter weapon[/skill]

you always need a rez, even in the best of situations someone will die, especially if you are h/h things.

MBP · Dec 17, 2007, 04:37 AM // 04:37

If you h/h (which is a prime example of when res isn't needed) the 3 heroes you have can res as you see fit with simple micromanaging and all 4 henchies you take have res as well. Taking res when H/Hing is just a waste of a skill slot.

Nothing wrong with an extra res sig

Only wish they could prot you when you call FomF lol

I would take a bar on any bar. If I were to drop a res I would do so on my heros as they can be idiots ^_^

i have to admit back in the old days when the tomb of primeval kings was quite new i ressed the whole team with [skill]rebirth[/skill] many times lol
