Weekly Class Discussion: Ranger

[Lateralus]

Hey guys we are going to start doing a weekly class discussion and this week we will start with rangers.

There's really no format for these but it's a great chance for you guys to ask questions about the class or share your tips and tricks for others.

Rangers are quite a bit different than they were in Rok and have some great depth. This makes them really fun and powerful to play but can be a little confusing when getting started with so I figured this was a good class to start this segment with.

General Info:
Only class that uses bows/arrows and only class that can tame enemy npcs and then use/summon them as pets for their own use.

Require 325mil exp to level.




I will fill in some more general info a bit later feel free to ask and answer questions!

Ranger hideout!

It's by the Dark Druid's grove and is where you buy gear for your pets. I think this is not very obvious when you are starting out.

Do not make a ranger with 10chr! Biggest failed experiment ever.

[Lateralus]

Just a note guys this is a great way to get all your questions about the class answered.

I myself have not really played a ranger but wanted to get a few things clarified (maybe by admin or some stalkers in the house)

I understand you can give your pet spells/skills? How does that work and what ones are there?

You can also capture multiple pets and and summon them at any time?

You can heal your pets? can they heal you?

Does chr do anything besides make pet tame easier?



I assume these are questions some others might have as well so getting these posted should help everyone.

From what I've seen you can upgrade your pet to give it added abilities such as heal, the heal will heal itself and everyone in the party.
A ranger can heal his pet in combat but its at a reduced rate, you heal it for more out of combat. So moving a little slower if you have a ranger buddy in a small party is a good idea so he can heal that pet up much more efficiently, seems to take a few rounds to get the pet summoned and healed up.

The guys were saying it costs something like 10K gold to fully upgrade a pet and if you do a stat-reallocation you lose the pet.

I'm wondering how much chr effects things beside tame rate. Is it a part of pet heal rate?

I think it should, with the changes NH is proposing to CHR affecting pet stats. Well maybe not the heal rate but the heal amount, to be clear. I assume pet heals have something to do with pet INT so they'd be affected?

Yeh, it's INT based. You don't need a ton of int to make it useful, but it's required still if you want some decent heals.

This is only for the ranger skill "/pet heal" correct? Or does ranger int have an impact on the pet's mend skill?
