What Are The Appropriate Gears When Subbing /Ranger

[Drunknmunky]

Thank you everyone for replying and can anyone give me a link on what exactly did SE did to the rangers? Because I’ am planning to take ranger to 75. Therefore, I want to be preparing on what exactly I need to get to balance my ranger.

Thank you

Let's talk about new store tp sets with the new grip yar

[Spider-Dan]

Well, that grip basically kills my plans to get STP+Snap MKD head. Guess I'll be going with STR/WSACC+AGI/WSDMG after all.

Reading an old thread, I found an interesting post:


If, as Clave said, aftermath is active during WS, then wouldn't that seem to indicate that (presuming that Coronach and Namas have the same base VE/CE, which seems plausible) Coronach's Aftermath is capped -enmity effect (Enmity-50)?

The -enmity effect from Coronach is -20 per Kaeko's LJ enmity tables although the idea that it might have been -50 had escaped me when I was pondering this. I'd be really pleased if it was -50 though.

On my Salvage group we almost always have 1 COR and 1 BRD present at each run. We have a small tactic to Zerg the Bosses in Bhaflau and Zhayolm Remnants.

(Silver sea needs a diferent approach since the charm at 75% ish will probably stop the zerg and Arrapago, well... we use the Usual Monk+Sam tanking just because it is safer if we get screwed on cells).

Basically, we give the Fanatics drinks to our 2 Monks. Any other good stuff, Fighters, Barbarians, Soldiers, Revitalizers, goes to SAM/WAR with Yoichi first, following to monks.

Start the battle as a zerg, Sam save tp on floor below, Bards 2hrs. Monks Fanatics Hundred Fists and SAM pops drinks - don't forget your lovely berserk - and stay at a distance (you'll need a bit of sanity to pop all of this in the proper order and such).

And so it begins...

#1

300 TP + Sekka = 2
(Change to Vulcan's + STR Strap after this).
Meiky = 3
Meditate = 2

#2 Revitalizer

Dusty Wing + Sekka = 2
Meiky = 3
Medit = 2

#3 Cor 2Hr Land

Meiky = 3
Medit with Sekka = 3


So on a perfect roll with a proper setup you could fire off 20 Namas Arrows in a very short amount of time. Each of them landing for a constant (and usual minimum) 1.5k damage (This is without angon, we never have a DRG on our team, altough I wish to someday; and without counting the Light SC/Double Light damge and the occasional Darkness SC made by Asura > Namas). To a total of 30k damage in few minutes with no hate at all.

Even if you do not get a perfect #3 act roll chances are your COR will give you TP back which you'll be able to Sekkanoki it and Meditate. Damage will be impressive nonetheless, with or without a perfect #1-3 rolls.

Engage if it is not dead after that, keep Hasso full time on and you should not get hate at all against 2 monks who just perfermed a double (each) Hundred Fists.

Aw, and don't forget to Cancel your current Meikyo before you pop a new one, otherwise it will share the remaining few seconds of your previous Meikyo timer not giving you enough time to fire a new Meikyo.

I can vouch for the -20 enmity aftermath on Coronach. I verified Vodou's math via PM. It's just -20 enmity added on top of gear/merit enhancements (TP only affects duration).

-50 enmity would be a little too strong don't you think?

So then, does that mean that Coronach's actual CE/VE is 100/300?

If Aftermath applies to the WS, then 80/240 would be after the Enmity-20, right?

-50 enmity would be a little too strong don't you think?

Would it? I can't even think of a way in which Enmity-50 "breaks the game" as much as Catastrophe's +gear haste.
