Not surprised at all. I always believe ranger is the most balanced class in GW. So if you have a group of 7-8 rangers, it is as a balanced group as you'll ever get out of GW.

No man, this is no shit, you don't need to be neither ascended nor lvl 20, just have traps (at least 2) and switch all your points to wildness survival. So listen all rangers that have arrived to temple. Get your EASY lvl 20 before they nerf it.

Really glad other folks have discovered the value of Rangers. I am so tired of trying to get into Fissure or UW groups because of the fact thatmost folks seem to think rangers suck.

Anyway, anytime anyone wants to try an all ranger group, I would love to travel with you.

Only been down there once (found it quite accidently solo when I was level 15

) would love to go again in a ranger group. I've got 4 traps I could load up

Sekkendou · Jun 18, 2005, 04:52 AM // 04:52

Wow. So you just lay all the traps, then pop em once till they run over the traps? Excellent stuff. Definately look me up in game. ING Doki Waku. I have all the ranger skills & elites. I'm down with an all ranger team!

I can imagine that 8 Monks with Protection Spells, Heal Area, and Balthazar's Aura would be similarily effective.

Rhombus · Jun 18, 2005, 09:24 AM // 09:24

without any attack skills?

Sekkendou · Jun 18, 2005, 12:16 PM // 12:16

Well I ran out to the UW with 7 other trap rangers in tow & took a couple videos of the ownage.

First, Here's 3 level 26 Grasping Devourers getting instantly vaporized

Then we have one of those evil Bladed Minotaur guys getting a similar treatment. This one is very dark, but I kind like how well he lights up when he's on fire

Plus he runs all the way up to me, just to die right at my feet without landing a single blow.

I just love watching thier life bar go from full to empty in one quick snap as they run over all 64+ traps we drop before the pull.

Exactly. I've cleared out the entire underworld with a party of 8 trappers (it started out as just a smite run, but we didn't die and 2.5 hours later we couldn't find any more enemies). Have each of your members lay two rows of traps through a narrow opening, then pull the monsters through. 8 Healing Springs provide more than enough healing if you all keep together.

How come teh video wont show? it plays and i hear some sound but i cant see anything

is there like something i needa get or dl?

Sekkendou · Jun 18, 2005, 11:56 PM // 23:56

It requires divx codec. I encoded it in divx 4.12 (free to encode) divx 6.0 codec just came out recently & should play the file just fine.

On another note... how long you think it will take the devs to nerf traps now? Traps were being used in a manner we did not intend them to be used ...yadda yadda... My guess is a longer recast & small damage nerf.

Better get all the trap fun in while you can.

Canook · Jun 19, 2005, 10:37 AM // 10:37

i dunno if they will nerf it necessarily...i mean, they will prolly add more resistance or somehin to the monsters

Well, I've been in one of the groups (was a W/Mo... Felt like I was taking up space), and I was wondering if this could be done in groups of 5 rangers... I mean, it's fun and all being able to kill things instantly, but the reason you do smite crawlers is for drops... And since you get more drops from crawlers when you just do it in groups of 4 or 5, this would be pretty inefficient...

So can it be done in groups of 5, is what I'm asking.

Sekkendou · Jun 19, 2005, 11:11 PM // 23:11

Usually by the time I get to smites with a group 2 people have randomly disconnected anyhow :P Smites seem to take more of a beating than the other mobs in the area, so it's harder to get by with less there. It certainly CAN be done with 4, but any more than 3 smites at once, & it's a real hassle.

Also if you can't find enough rangers, take a necro with ya to hit everyone with thier sacrifice thier life to give you energy thing. Helps speed up trap laying somewhat.

Heh 2 person team in UW

Nice job

Hmm.............I'm an E/R, but I'd love to try an all-ranger time (ironice, kinda). I do have Spike, Barbed, Flame and Dust Trap, plus Healing Spring, so I SHOULD do just fine......

Look me up. IGN is Master Shadowsting.
