Ranger solo

[demokatt]

Cecily, what did u face tank solo from 51+ ?
Im having real problem trying to solo stuff in DL and KC.

Are there any stuff I can solo in old world? Someone mentioned bard in HHK?

I know I have fear animal but I wanna do something different.

I believe mobs had a quad attack buff since Cecily levelled up. It seemed fairly recent, maybe the start of this year.

If you run through SolA to get to the bats zoneline in SolB you should be able to safely solo sonic bats there. Two pathers and two static spawns. Chance for one of the pathers to spawn as guano hunter (a mid level goblin that drops a small weight reduction bag and a weightless cloak of shadows which is high ac, dex and dr).

Often there will be shaman, monks, druids hanging around for you to team up with.

Not every shot, no

Okay cool. What draws me to solo Ranger is that I get a few more utilities than SK, like Buffs and SOW that can be cast on other players, I like to help sometimes.

I will never do any raid and probably never get more than 50-55 levels so then perhaps a Ranger is more fun to play with than an SK.

Rangers should do a pretty fair amount more dps than a SK. As far as soloing goes, the biggest difference will be that rangers will have to rely on fear kiting animals while SKs can fear kite a larger variety of things.

From a solo leveling perspective, the gameplay is probably quite similar.

How about rooting the mob, put dome dots on it and shoot some and then start meele it when its down to 50-60 %? Or is he too squishy even for half the hp?

[jolanar]

Been a while since I played my ranger. But I remember the dots being pretty useless if you plan on them getting the mob to 50% in any reasonable time frame. You'd be spending too much mana on root.

`they make great soloers`

not pre luclin they dont unless you have a fungi.

they lvl on par with rogue or sk.

they constantly run out of mana, whihc is used to support their ave melee abilities.

dont believe the hype rangers suffer from alot of down time. With no autofire, using arrows to solo is not much fun, and also a limitning factor pre L45.

rangers are underwhelming on p99.

[demokatt]

I noticed there are alot of rangers nowadays.. I guess it's because the removed class xp penalty? Well I'm used to solo SK so if it's not worse than that I will suffice and probebly have some more tools to play with.

If you can find a lot of animal to kill, ranger will probably be easier and faster than SK as both fear and panic animal use very little mana compared to darkness and fear + better dps with ranger. Ranger best class
