Returning Ranger Equipment question

[Kildar]

Hey guys. I've been out of the game for a little over a year and was wondering what, if any must have gear has been added for Ranger. Here's my current setup:

Weapons: Fransisca/Kriegsbeil/Vulcan Staff
Ranged: E. Bow/Hellfire+1/O. Bow
Head: Wyvern Helm/Scout's Beret
Body: Hunter's Jerkin/Archer's Jupon
Hands: Blood Finger Gauntlets/Hunter's Gloves+1
Legs: Galliard Trousers
Feet: Scout's Socks/Rutter Sabatones
Neck: Peacock Charm
Waist: Royal Knight's Belt+2
Back: Amemet Mantle+1
Rings: Rajas Ring/Flame Ring
Earrings: Triumph Earringx2

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Body : Osode obviously and the new Merke Waddecors with either Ranged ATT +10, Snapshot +5 or Ranged ACC +10 on it etc.


Head: Zha'Go's Barbut (if you have a group that does those BC's)
Hands: Sieryu Kote
Legs : Scouts Braccae / Oily Trousers (Lambton worm) for WS
Waist: Scouts belt (dynamis Bubu and Qufim) / Buccaneer Belt (15K ampouls from Einherjar)
Rings: Behemoth Rings for acc, the rings you have there for WS

Other than that, it looks good.

Hihi, here's some other items i think you can get good use of

Neck: Breeze/Light Gorgets from sea for WS, Qiqirn collar for tpbuild
Legs: Pahluwan Seraweels from assault (i use them all the time, and switch to AF2 for barrage or some HNMs if i lack some RaAcc
Head: if u can't afford the Zha'Go's Barbut, stick to wyvern helm for ws, and use hunter's beret (+1 if possible) for all other things (RaAtt and rapid shot+ (even if it's +1 is nice for the slot).

other things msising are more related to hnms/end game

Hands: Skadi Bazubands (salvage)
Legs: Skadi chausses (salvage, arguablly the best tp legs for rng)
feet: Skadi's jambeaux (salvage, best ws feet unless taru)

[Uubu]

Legs: Hachiryu Haidate

Thanks for all the advice guys! I'm definitely going to look into getting some people together to obtain some of those pieces.

Is there really any need/use for a Marksmanship Ranger anymore with Corsair out? Or is it pretty much all Bow now.

Plenty of gun rngs out there. Some people still stick by xbow too with Obow and darksteel/holy bolts. There's been a recent boom of annihilator's finished with the addition of skadi legs and certain other pieces to get a 5-hit setup

i use gun only for zergs (culverin +1), xbow for some hnms/events and bow too, depending on the setup and if the pt needs the add from bolts or arrows etc, it's very situational so all 3 are good choices at some point

[Iraphine]

Jalzahns Ring is a must, just so godly.

"Plenty of gun rngs out there. Some people still stick by xbow too with Obow and darksteel/holy bolts."

This is true, with the right gear the damage is favorable.

If no one has mentioned it and you're not aware. Use axe grip with vulcans if not dual wielding
