This version of the Ranger guide is much better than the previous one you had, well done~! Most of the Fear Eraser stuff are however not an optimal choice for the most part even more so if you are the only Ranger. The damage only adds up to a single Revolt Aim after 14s which is very counterintuitive to Ranger class identity. I'll honestly recommend to not use it at all. Outside of that, there's a slight correction. Launcher Weapon Action is stackable by all launcher sources, except the Photon Blast. This means normals as well as PAs. The second rotation (extended) you gave can also be improved. I can see that you used a jump to cancel out of the end lag of Launcher Weapon Action in order to quickly place the mine. Now, new ranger players might not be familiar with it so the more ideal rotation you wanna opt into could be [Fallen Impact > Sticky Bomb > Blight Round > Rifle Grenadier > Spread Shot]. Not only does this helps you prime the weapon action almost immediately due to the starting lag of Fallen Impact, you can also cancel out of sticky bomb end lag using Blight Round while perfectly placing yourself into Revolt's Aim position after the follow up combos. Overall, a much improved guide from your previous one. Good job ~!
I appreciate the advice & insight! I definitely did overlook the Sticky Bomb damage boost also being stackable from normal attacks, due to always using Multi-Launch & Fallen Impact as the fastest way to ramp up the hits. I tend to never really have Fear Eraser equipped, soley because of the restricted nature of it and it's slow DoT 😅. Will definitely check out that order of rotation you recommended for sure!
I'll sum up ranger in 2024 in a few sentences -ALWAYS Blight round -The I-frames on Rifles WA along with rifle grenadier is a godsend, ABUSE IT!!! -Use type 2 Custom Blaze shot as its now rangers strongest DPS PA And thats it. Ranger DPS on NGS release Mainly came from launchers fear eraser and multi launch and rifle was mainly used only for blight rounds. but now with buffs and fixes rifle is more useful than launcher.
Just a correction on that last part, rifle has been the primary dps weapon for ranger ever since it got Revolt Aim, and even more so when the WA got the i-frames it has today and made grenade spam viable for optimal dps, custom Blaze Shot just made the gap between rifle and launcher much bigger than it was before once more.
It's important to know that with Homing Darts, if the enemy you locked on to is killed before the dart reaches them, you'll just lose that dart. During a PSE Burst, you'll only want to use it if you're in the highest level combat sector for your current level so you don't get wasted darts. In those scenarios, it's better to use the wide blight rounds, the grenade trap, shotgun, and mix in the charged Divine Impact/Fallen Impact while those others are charging. Rifle PB doesn't just refill one Impact gauge, but two. If you hold down your normal attack button while your PB is going and start attacking right after you can begin movement again, you'll go through all 60 bullets and have another Impact magazine left. If you stop attacking during that first one for any reason, you'll lose that whole magazine though, so it's a "use it or lose it" kind of thing. I am unsure if even using these Impact magazines will result in better DPS than anything else though, it's probably situational. I do know for a fact that you can chew through enemies in Leciel when you get the Normal Attack buff. Speaking of that Normal Attack buff, you'll want to use single Normal Attacks instead of holding it to get the extra attack more often. You can do some seriously gross damage that way. Another fun tip is that spamming single Normal Attacks in the air while traveling forward will let you span great distances without falling very much. It's not as fast as gliding, but you can go pretty far with it before ever needing to touch the ground. It is pretty useful for collecting the minerals in that iceberg place with the mag in Stia.
Nice info & tactics with Rifle! For Rifle's PB specifically, it only has that single RAI gauge to replenish. So even though that sweet gameplay trick can be used in that way as to not consume the current shots stored from the previous one, it still counts as being one refill for RAI's gauge. RAI as a damage option is very good for things like you mentioned with normal atttack buff day for Leciel, but outside of that the only way it can possibly outdamage other options is when Encore Jumps are used alongside the use of the attack (Even easier without the RA slow fall skill). However, that being said it will always remain to be a great form of consistant damage regardless!
@@MasterMkp Yeah obviously there is only one gauge so you don't get like two full gauges or anything like that. If you're on empty and then PB though, you can get max 120 shots off of one PB. I do that all the time.
I currently have plans in place to make smaller update videos, after the releases of my class guides. Especially if anything drastically changes in class gameplay!
Fighter normally utilises all it's weapons, as they all provide useful benefits to it's gameplay. I don't know of any guides that primarily focus on Daggers unfortunately, but here is a Fighter Guide that might help with additional info on the class.

Welcome to the game! Glad you've been enjoying the Ranger Class! I unfortunately don't have a 'public' discord server of my own, but I am a part of KronoKatastrophy's and SkullsNightshade's discord servers (The Klocktower & The Afterlife). There are plenty of helpers around that can answer questions & give advice!
The only way to repeatedly use rifle grenades is to dodge attacks using the rifle weapon action. It has a very generous amount of s and when you dodge any attack with decent timing (it's very forgiving compared to other weapon actions) you instantly get grenade cool down reset
The Rifle Grenadier Quick Reload skill at 5/5 skill points fully resets the cooldown of the Rifle Grenadier skill, on your successful Weapn Action dodges!
Holding the Weapon Action 'without' using your analog/stick movement will perform the (Trap) variation of Rifle Grenadier. Holding the Weapon Action while using the analog/stick movement will perform the (Throw) variation of Rifle Grenadier.
