Ranger builds list

Hello everyone,

Quoting Bada_bing who manage many lists:
I try to include only builds that have been played to ~ lvl 75-80 / played some mid-range maps (tier 7-10) to make sure the OP knows what he is talking about and avoid pure theorycrafts.
A build should also contain more than just a linked tree + gear


The other classes builds lists:
Duelist builds list
Marauder builds list
Scion builds list
Shadow builds list
Templar builds list
Witch builds list

And here are some useful gem acronyms you will find in many of the guides below:

LA: Lighting Arrow
RoA: Rain of Arrow
SA: Split Arrow
TS: Tornado Shot
AFD: Added Fire Damage
BM: Blood Magic
FA: Faster Attack
PPAD: Physical Projectile Attack Damage
SP: Slower Projectiles
ICD: Increase Critical Damage
ICS: Increase Critical Strikes
PCoC: Power Charge on Critical
LgoH: Life gained on Hit
LL: Life Leech
ML: Mana Leech
LMP: Lesser Multiple Projectiles
GMP: Greater Multiple Projectiles
WED: Weapon Elemental Damage
CwDT: Cast when Damage Taken
EC: Enduring Cry
IC: Immortal Call

You can find old guides from previous leagues and/or major patches in second post.

When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch?
If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch.
Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart...

It's generally very easy to fix 1.2 trees for 1.3. You just have to fix the Thick Skin cluster. The right side of the tree almost didn't changed except for that. It may be more optimum to rethink the tree because of other changes though.

Awesome idea, dude! A couple of the links are broken, but great start. Well done! :)

I'd probably describe my CoC guide as "crit capped glass cannon mode" (well, as glass cannon as you can viably get for 75+ maps) with a guide for alternate set-ups to be tankier if needed. I'm not sure the best way to moosh that into a one line summary. XD
Fixed the 3 broken links and added that description to your guide.

this is a great idea and very helpful for organization, as long as it stays on the front page type of thing. would be great to get stickied for each class discussion sub-forum.

and hey look, my thread is on here! woot, ty muchly.
its under melee builds, which my personal builds are but my initial post and focus is on a foundational focus through ranger start to make any build type viable and defensively strong. so if i may request to possibly add a description under the link such as, "Passive tree foundational layout for all ranger-starting builds."

thanks again for the time and effort you put into this - hopefully it'll get recognized and properly merited by the forum mods
Description added. That's the guide that made me lean toward evasion and acrobatics when I started my bow ranger ;)

I think this was a great idea! However, i think more people will now want more recognition for their builds and stuff xD and may hassle you for the description of their guide.

But if your good with that then its all good lol.

edit: also

From checking your profile i couldn't help but notice you out-leveled me! good show xD.

If you look at other classes builds lists, there's little to no description. And as I said in my 1st message, authors can leave a short description for their build(s), I'll add it(them).

And yes, I've played quite a lot, and was lucky to get some good map sharing some times, which helped me tremendously, especially during 88 to 89. Not sure I will ever reach 90 :s.

Great idea. Very helpful. And thanks for taking the time to do it.




How do we get this stickied? It would save newbies a lot of searching.
