Gearing a ranger

Haste will actually lower proc per swing. So if you're jousting until the proc, take off your haste.

I'm by no mean a ranger gear expert but I shopped for EC gear a lot.

First question is: on the field, do you feel fine or coming short in some aspect?

I went crystal chitin for boots due to ac/str/dex. Barbed aren't a bad choice though.

For dex you could switch your hero bracer for another silver chitin one. Better all around except for -3str. You could always go cloak of shadows or overseer's signet but I don't feel the trade off is worth it.

For face you got a couple choices. It is basically a toss up between tribal war mask or gangrenous beetle mask imo. If you want mana/hp with decent AC you could go crystal spider eyes. If you want raw str or raw dex the ruby/star ruby veils are there for that.

For rings 6/65 ones are hard to beat. After that it depends if you want to trade hp for offensive stats or mana. If you swap you can make up the lost hp by getting a pearly sarnak bauble. I don't feel your current AC is high enough for a hammered golden loop.

If not bowing much you could get a bow with stats too like the sarnak war bow or a rain caller.

You didn't mention budget but tolan legs are nice if you got the money but if you had unlimited funds you'd probably be rocking a fungi and better 1handers. Is swiftwind in the cards? You could toy with haste options but the belt is solid and that tigerraptor cloak is fine.

But they already have a good swap piece, with that Frostbringer to swap between the 2-hander swings. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
