<DIV>Well here are some sugjestions depending on just what your doing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ill start with grouping for exps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One would think that stamina and hp are of high importance. One would probably be wrong if one were a ranger in an exps group.</DIV> <DIV>You should be looking for gear with a good balance of Agi and Str. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Agi to increase your power pool, allowing you to do more CA's thus doing more damage thus fulliling your role as a dps class.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>p.s. dont leave your poisons on the vendor and for christ sake use your bow skills when you can.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Soloing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For the solo Ranger HP become a little more important but still takes a back seet to agi and str.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Agi here has two roles. One making you less easy to hit and two giving you more power to work with.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Str: In a solo fight you cant use many of your flanking attacks and therefor spend more time in normal melee. High str (150,200,250) gives you bonuses to your damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>p.s. dont leave your poisons at the vendor</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Raiding.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>A much debated subject but here is my take.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Understand you are dps. Dps is your job. Dps is what you do. To maximise Dps meens to have a good enough pool of power to continue to deliver damage from your CA's. This also meens getting your Str up so that when not using CA's or out of power you do bonus damage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sta/HP: OK so how do you survive a raid if you dont have much HP? Well part of this is tactics and part of this is good healers and still another part is good resists on your gear. Unfortunatly finding a balance here that will drive you to end game is something you have to earn and isnt something you can buy off a vendor. If your sacrificing much if any Str/Agi then your not doing your job as DPS. You do your job and let the healers do theirs. Over time your gear will improve and you can get those resists up there WHILE improving your main stats.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Did I mention poisons arnt much good on the vendor?</DIV><p>Message Edited by Cexia on <span class=date_text>03-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:34 PM</span>
