I don’t care what class you play or what level you think you are. You must watch this video. Elegant way of explaining easy to complex topics. Clear and concise examples, to follow up every topic you verbally discussed. Beautiful display of profound knowledge while also staying humble. This is my first video I have watched of yours, and I can say you have truly earned this like and subscribe. Along with the view time throughout your DnD coverages. Fantastic job!
@@nuxe7598 I feel like the difference between a ranger with bow related perks and skills and a fighter(or anyone using a bow) without those perks is pretty huge tho . fighter obviously has other things going for him but being able to use bows doesn't make him a better ranger.
@user-zu5mb1pz2bThe amount of armor pen and ms you can stack on a Ranger vastly outclasses the fighters capabilities. (Fighter main here) no amount of full plate set can keep up with a proper Ranger build. Notice in the vid he said 315 Ms is ideal. Most rangers build even more than that. No plate fighter is catching that even with sprint. From that point on it’s just about hitting your shots and it’s a done deal.
this is like a master thesis on ranger. As a ranger main, and as a viewer of you already I STILL learned a bunch of shit form this video. 10/10 the man and spuddy are GOAT'd DnD content creators
You know the video is an authentic guide when you already know most of the concepts explained, because soapy‘s mentioned most of them in his streams here and there 👏
Wow, what a great guide! I'm getting back into the game after a year or so off, and a lot has changed. This was great to help me refamiliarize myself with this class. So far I've enjoyed playing as a rogue and a fighter, but my ranger was my very first character back in the alphas and when the game first came out with the blacksmith launcher. It felt a little daunting getting started again lol
I'm still new to the game and trying out ranger, and it is a very challenging class when playing solo. Just watching this tutorial, I just learned how to kite and b-hop, and it really helped me taking out stronger monsters.
Best class guide i saw so far on youtube. Prepared, in depth and without useless blabber. With visual examples and much more effort put into it. Props and Thanks.
I completly agree, most of guides I see are people taking advantage of a meta and then it doesn't work like 1 month after. This guide is super useful and will not loose its relatableness in time.
the reason i watched this vid was for all the things you mention at the end of this one lol, this guide is kinda incomplete without them. dont take this without praise though, great video with what you put in.
As a new player, this is probably the best guide I've seen over the past 2 weeks. Love how you break it down and simplify things too. Also got me interested in ranger!
OH MY GOD THANK YOU! Going over the perks one by one and *explaining* why they're not useful is so much better than "Take this one or this one, anyway-" and moving onto the next point. Some will call it redundant or patronizing, but I'm here for it.
I'm really glad you address when less than optimal skills and perks can help for different playstyles, like Backstep can help you learn kiting. Builds really are meant to be tailored to the player's playstyle, strengths, and weaknesses
Played ranger since PT2 this is the first time I've played the game where all the bows seem useful. I used to main longbow exclusively but I'll pick up any of them now.
amazing, amazing, great guide here, thank u very much for such a quick and thorough video, u get straight to the point on everything without wasting anyones time whatsoever. awesome job, first time seeing ur videos but im definitely going to watch more of ur stuff.
This is exactly what I needed, I knew the, I’d say intermediate way to build a ranger but this gets into the details that’s I’ve been looking for. For example getting my strength to at least 15, I’ve heard people say otherwise but they don’t have the hours you have. I would love to see another video on ranger. Masterfully crafted video dude.
I'm really happy to see some in dept guide and fresh guide for ranger. Playing with the class since the game lauched free and I was so overhelmed and tired from all those guides for rogue, druid and cleric. Ty, mate! Great content.
Awesome guide and an incredible display of skill, pretty in depth such as topics like downward shooting through door window, bhopping and trap placements.
You know Soapy.. I watched the whole video and yet I’m still not wiping squads and hitting 360s with my Windlass. Thought that was kind of weird. Anyway… seriously awesome video man, super helpful even to someone like me with a good amount of time played
Great guide! Would def love follow up videos covering things such as building budget kits to min / max stats within a certain budget, as well as maybe covering gear selections based on the bow your running, for example needing more Dex for longbow (which you touched on here with the action speed comment). My biggest problem so far on ranger has been survivability and letting people close the gap on me. The bunny hopping section will be really helpful and I'll have to try it out.
You should have mentioned the Armor Pen stats on the bows. The Longbow does MASSIVE damage not only because of the Weapon Damage, but because it does 15% more of that damage over the Survival Bow to other players (bad explanation, but should be pretty obvious what I mean lol). That will make a world of difference against any PDR build.
One point to keep in mind. The squire gear when Soapy was explaining what stats to go for was common grade and not poor. The 2 strength helps a lot more than 1 per piece.
Absolutely love this video!! Definitely gonna be trying to push myself on ranger. Only thing that I'm slightly confused about, is in an ideal scenario, what should my inventory look like? How many traps is typical for a 1v3 and how many healing items am I trying for? Other than my confusion on that, you did a great job explaining this super thoroughly to someone pretty new to this game!! Thank you so much
If I can add one little advice that makes it much more comfortable playing as ranger, is to make a custom crosshair, cuz the default one from D&D is hard to see on some surfaces (lit wall, ice caverns). Many screens have integrated options for crosshair, or nVidia filters for example.
20:11 thanks man, didn't know, i'm now bhopping in blackmyth wukong too! (Source games have bhopping not unreal games 😅, though fortnite also has bhop)
Want to see guide how to counter corners, doorways and pillars. It's good to know how to kite and stuff, when guys pushing you. But in the gear lobby I see 99% people just hold close corner in doorway or something like pillars with judgment, sprint, or Achilles strike.
Hey! Great video and love your streams! I was wondering can't you take away the druid's soul in the last clip? if you just wanted to fuck up their resurrection, just throw away the chest piece from the druid's inventory and take the soul to your inventory
Ye problem is, is traps are best when the enemy has no idea it's there. They make a sound on placement so if you need to place a quick trap in a fight they will most likely hear it, and denying players info is so important. Ideally you would have multiple traps placed in cleared rooms that you can kite to that have been placed before fighting
All the people complaining about the recent Fighter buffs seem to be saying "Now the Fighter even does the Ranger's job better than the Ranger!" but they seem to be forgetting that the Ranger gets all sorts of perks that make them so much better with the bow than Fighter could ever be.
Dark and darker lets you bind 2 separate keys to a single command. I have jump bound to both space bar and scroll wheel down, is use space bar for all of my normal jumps, and then I just scroll down for the times I'm trying to b-hop.
