Ranger solo

[Jimjam]

Thinks to do in 50s:

Lots of different camps in Seb with a few fun ranger loots mid 50s.

Work on epics (swiftwind pretty easy with a guild as no particularly rare parts required, and the worn effect gives a big boost to your mainhand dps). Joining sky raids to work on the cloak and bow quests there might be fun for a few weeks.

Group some Pillar dragons in Western Wastes. Joining Ring Wars... Just get your nose out there and see whats happening. If nothing else /who all your level and ask those people what they are upto and if they 'need' ranger assistance.

Okay, not much of this is solo stuff, but really the late game is about team work.

Thanks for the advices, gonna check them out later. I think Im gonna go ahead start a new character.

So tell me... WHAT CLASS RACE? :-p

You went from sk to ranger, right?...and you're wanting to solo?

Druids are versatile (root-rot, charm, fear, quad kite, group when you can....)

Necromancer and enchanter can solo pretty easily as well.

Monk and shaman are good in groups and solo, but they are very common.

Bard is super fun if you can handle it....preferably in a group or regular kiting. Swarming is lame...

Yeah I have my level 41 druid so I go back to her.

Liquidate the ranger and roll an iksar monk, see if the hype is true for yourself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I stayed with my ranger, finally got to level 55 :-) Been playing very seldom these days so 54 took forever.

I was thinking of swithing out my SCHW + TBB for a Sash of the Dragonborn + Crystal Chitin Gauntlets. It must be better for solo right? I go from 13 AC, 22 haste and 15 STR to 20 AC, 24 haste, 10 STR and 35 MANA. That must be a nice gain from loosing 5 STR right or am I thinking wrong?

No, I dont think I can afford any of the better haste items sold :-)

That's a net 7AC 2% haste 35 mana -5STR. Probably not a huge change, but I'd put it in the upgrade category...

Good job on 55! Where were you fighting? I still think your best path is getting a Swiftwind somehow. The stone from KC is pretty common now!

Rangers are strong solo, even untwinked. Grt a good bow and arrows, then snare kite shit with your dot and flame lick while shooting them down to 60. Then you only have to melee 40% before mob runs, conserving your hp.
