Hero's that go well with Ranger

Looking for General PvE, and Vanquishing.

Ranger Player.

I'd say, if you want to take it back real old school style

You, Margrid, Jin, Pyre, all 4 R/N Touchers. It's hella fun and deviated from the normal sabway or discrodway. If not, just run either of those, guaranteed to get the job done with a bit of competence

Oh, I didn't think about 4 R/N Touchers. That would own.

The guild I used to be in, we had a team of touchers, and owned AB

If you want general pve/vanquishing, you could always go barrage/pet, too. Take three ranger heroes, give them barrage and a pet. Anything else you add to the bars just makes life easier.

Or you could just go sabway, but at least with b/p you have a slight challenge.

What exactly is Sabway?

Discord heroes run fairly well with most professions. You might be interested in using the smiter monk trio with the new Ray of Judgement, but I'm not sure that a single ranger can dish out enough of its own dmg to compensate for enemy AI fleeing from RoJ's aoe.

Sabway's pretty much a compilation of builds centered around your standard ss nec, mm, and n/rt healer heroes.

Oh ok. So Sabway is the best way to go?

For Ranger.

I'd disagree since Discordway's direct dmg and support make sabway pale in comparison.

You can use a build like this with discordway:

[build prof=R/Me exp=12 wil=8 mar=10][Volley][Broad Head Arrow][Savage Shot][Asuran Scan][Epidemic][Whirling Defense][Poison Tip Signet][Sunspear Rebirth Signet][/build]

Here is the build that I normally use in PvE for vanquishing and doing dungeons in HM, it seems to work well.

[Lightning Reflexes][Savage Shot][Sloth Hunter's Shot][Broad Head Arrow][Volley]["Save Yourselves"][Summon Ruby Djinn][Pain Inverter]

Since this is a fairly high energy build I run with all radiant insignias and and attunement runes. With a rune of Minor Marksmanship on the head, a Major Expertise on the gloves and a Superior Rune of Vigor on the feet.

I have been working mainly in Eye of the North. For Heroes I use the general Sabway build and for henchies I use Herta (Earth Ele), Mhenlo (Healer), Talon (Guardian Henchman), and Zho (Interrupt).

I know that this brings along 2 BHA's but it seems to work well for me.

I do change things up for dungeons depending on the dungeon. If there are no corpses I will find new heroes to bring along, or if there are Stone Summit, I will bring along [frozen soil] in place of [lightning Reflexes], to help stop the Rez fest.

So far with this I have vanquished a few of the areas in EotN, including Sacnoth which can be hard and I have beaten all the dungeons in HM except I think 3 now. (I cannot beat Vloxen, no matter how hard I try, so good luck with that.)

I hope this helps some, if you have any questions about it, feel free to pm me.

Run a Barrager, when you're having caster problems take Technobabble, if they're that serious take BHA / Volley and Epidemic to compliment BHA.

I use Discordway for my shit. I sometimes run off another build but it's pretty f*cking wierd.

[barrage][distracting shot][savage shot][favorable winds][rip enchantment][weaken armor][body shot][resurrection signet]

[barrage][distracting shot][savage shot][winnowing][rip enchantment][enfeebling blood][body shot][resurrection signet]

[broad head arrow][distracting shot][savage shot][volley][mending touch][no skill][body shot][resurrection signet]

Last one can be subbed out for some sort of Orders suport bar. Something could be subbed out for Lightning Reflexes too if you want. I don't know, it was just a brainfart to be honest.

[build=PLAYER;OgATYzbmZC7IXk2YzYxYm04IVEA]

[build=Paragon HERO;OQKkYNZsZimzOuC7uvwybazmZxA]

[build=Ritualist HERO;OAKlYRZaoIukJhxkBWOxMtYQbsZkcB]

[build=Necro HERO;OAhjQsGWIPdixJ1+iRJkmUMhHA]

+2 monks, 1 ranger, 1 any henchman.

+2 monks, 1 ranger, 1 any henchman. Nice physical damage but too susceptible to blocking and no interrupts. Would probably still work in most areas, afterall it is pve.

I run this build:

[BHA][Distracting Shot][Sloth Hunter's Shot][Epidemic][Apply Poison]["Finish Him!"][Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom][Sunspear Rebirth Signet]

In combination with a hero which pumps out bone minions. Once you have spread daze over a group of casters and a full team of minions gets to them, its all over.


For the record, this is what I use:

[Discord][Enfeebling Blood][Barbs][Shadow of Fear][Signet Of Lost Souls][Weapon Of Warding][Protective Was Kaolai][Death Pact Signet]

[Discord][Animate Bone Minions][Death Nova][Feast for the Dead][Foul Feast][Protective Spirit][Aegis][Signet Of Lost Souls]

[Discord][Putrid Bile][Rotting Flesh][Weapon of Warding][Spirit Light][Mend Body and Soul][Protective Was Kaolai][Life]
