To everyone pointing out, the cloak of darkness has movespeed in it and is therefore not trash! Thanks for pointing that out. I also want to add that I don’t mention the difference in attack speed between the bows but that is a big deal. Survival bow has high attack speed. Recurve is in the middle and longbow is low. Just wanted to throw that in there.
@@thedarkharvester the best part of the game is re-discovering your love for it whenever you eventually get around to mastering a new character. It’s been nice seeing people like Lorr playing one class for so long and then destroying with the next. Good luck 👍🏻
Love this man, put together a google doc for this upcoming wipe on what to aim for. Do you think you could possibly put together a couple build guides for people who don't always have a disposable amount of cash? Lets say like a mid tier build?
Ngl its kinda cringe that rangers start at so much -% phys power bonus. Good video, but tbh i feel like you always have to take off your armor against melees, you only need it for ranged enemies. The mvsp you lose just feels like it isnt worth putting it on.
@@craigpugh4148 they hit harder but shoot way slower and easier to dodge and do less dps, im taking a ranger with -power then a fighter with a perk just to use at -power at base even power and slower movement and chest/door opening, now if you want to be tanky shooting from range then yea fighter prob for you but i like to be able to kite or run down
Well, now with the druid nerfs, hopefully we aren’t worried about fighting up close at all. I can’t wait to show you all this trifecta video! It’s been so much fun. But I do agree about the -% phys power
This is very great for guide new player avoid those gear they shouldn't wear, maybe there's a chance that you run a video about how mid gear(below 3k budget or etc) ranger should ply!
Great video for a new player to watch. This helped me understand a few more things about the game i didnt consider. I was running the warden outfit with Strength rolls. The static agility and low move speed penalty is incentive for me to put my tits away. I think maybe my BIS is different though because i run 124 gear score usually. I like green lightfoots with max move speed roll because 15 movespeed goes a long way for sub 125 gear score and theyre usually only 500 gold. I havent even considered the heavy boots before but ill try it out. Also for sub 125 the copperlight strawhat is bis for me =) i also noted that you didn't recommend agility in the necklace but you did for the rings. I was curious about that one
thx for the insights but I don't get why Forest Boots receive so much hate. They are much faster than heavy boots or the shitty turnshoe (that you put above them) since they bring str and agi on top of 6 base ms
Forest boots only give agility and resourcefulness which is why theyre bad. Darkleaf do provide strength but are also worse. As for order, the lowest tier items arent in any order. They just shouldn't be used!
oh yeah you're right about the res instead of str. I mixed them up with darkleaf or basically made a mix out of both. they're still extremely budget and it's easy to get 2 movement rolls on them for like 200 and epic with 3 agi base which results in insane movement
@@DubsCheckum You’re totally right and honestly, any boots can be used with good rolls. But strictly comparing them to eachother, this is how I think they line up. But it’s just subjective and if you catch Ws and have fun with other boots, definitely use those!
@@thedarkharvester buuuut I just realized you put Foul Boots in BiS because you say they have Dex but actually they have Agi (although they have the model of Adventurer Boots which is Dex) so I think they're almost a worse version of laced turnshoe since they also have lower movementspeed
@@DubsCheckum Oh my…you are absolutely right! Hmm, well, the +3 phys power roll is definitely better than the turnshoes but I do agree that it should be lower in the tier list. Agi is worse than dex on boots in my opinion. Probably not bis….ill have to do some experimenting on how strong the innate phys power is. But I will say, the foul boots, tri pelt doublet, brave hunters, demon grip gloves and dread hood are all BIS in appearance 🤌
Fox pendant is good for movespeed, if you need it. In solos, fox pendent with damage rolls is great. I just don’t build max movespeed in trios because my team handles the zoning and gap closing. I just dominate from range.
very great video, I know you main ranger. do you think you could transfer your knowledge into other classes as well? I would appreciate a video of this detail and quality for fighter(I play) or cleric(my best friend play). Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the video! On your trifecta build, is there any gear that I should swap out if I am using a survival bow + Spear instead? Should I prioritize more on movement speed if I am on survival bow?
Make sure you have at least 7 true phys damage. You want to have either quick fire or forceful shot along with quick shot. You’re going to be playing much closer so you need to have a tanky front line that can zone for you and you need to play modules that are close quarters (as opposed to long distance like goblin jail). Spear wouldn’t be bad either. I would try and hit 110% move speed with that build so you don’t worry about rogue ambush. It could be very strong for sure!
@@elimz9393 That’s what I am here for! I want to respond to everyone while i’m still small enough of a channel to do so. Thanks again for your support, it means a lot, Elimz!
I wish somebody would make a vid about equivalent stats to streamline kit creation, like how much physical damage or power I need to equate flat weapon damege.
wdym? 0% physical power bonus = damage equal to weapon damage (assumming u have no additional damage rolls, the enemy player has 0% physical and projectile damage reduction, you hit them in the chest and not the limbs or head). its basically impossible to know how much damage you are doing to someone, especially on ranger because arrows have damage drop off based on how far they go. if you are asking how much physical power bonus is equivalent to gettting 1 weapon damage, you literally have to search up the damage formula and do the math because depending on the weapon you are using the answer changes
@@DioBrando-iq9no That is what makes it complicated. As a regular player, I don't want to have to follow all mathematical equations and formulas, I just want to have an idea of what's better and how to take advantage of the different types of damage.
my current "bis" ranger kit is 136 hp, 310 ms, 27 action speed, 26 phys power bonus, using LB and spear, quickfire and shotgun, would u reccomend any changes? its a trios build. also i dont have grimsiles but i would lose phys power if i did cuz im using capped purple ring of courages, is it still worth it to get gimmsmiles?
For the rings, it depends on the rolls. Purple strength rings can be more powerful but will give less health. Quick fire allows for more consistent hits with the LB but I am going to be posting a video on how double shot is super strong too. I think your kit sounds good. The shotgun is for the rogue or panther and the spear is used while close when your team can’t afford to take the time for you to reload.
1.5 is great for sure! Definitely better than the other cloaks with stats that you won’t use. (will) But I prefer dex or strength. I haven’t run it nor do I see rangers use it but you might be on to the secret tech.
Yes, Ranger has a perk call crossbow mastery that allows you to reload crossbows faster and it makes their damage slightly more. Crossbows are good for peaks and flick shots because there is no draw. However, crossbows are bad because the Ranger perks and skills are much more effective with bows. Crossbows can’t use multi shot, quick shot, quick fire is best for draw speed, etc.
I just don’t like boots that sacrifice base move speed for agi because it’s a worse version of move speed. Ever since the agi nerf, I just haven’t liked it. But you could be on to something, they are faster than the other base 6 move speed. It just lacks offensive power.
I get rid of nimble hands unless im using the survival bow in which case I would switch out sharpshooter because you aren’t hitting headshots as much with the survival bow Some rangers say that nimble hands is mandatory with longbow but I don’t agree. Just watch your dex/action speed.
@@thedarkharvester Hmm that's interesting. I never took off nimble hands because the longbow feels slow to draw without it. But I've never played with a real high dex build. I'll try it.
Primarily because I run shotgun so my close quarters power comes from that. Also, spear takes a perk away from my ranged damage. Spear is extremely strong but the counter to it is to just run up as close as possible so that the spear doesn’t hit you with with its tip (the most damage). Spear also does not allow for light so walking in rooms with lights off is more dangerous. Rapier is quick and the attack pattern is great. It allows for a lantern too. Both are good! I have won melee fights strictly because I had a spear (range) though so it does have its benefits for sure.
@@thedarkharvester right on thanks. I've only ever run spear even with shotgun build, but you're much better than me so I'll definitely be giving your advice a try this weekend!
I get running a lot of strength on say a longbow build, but if you want to run a fast move speed survival bow build wouldn't you want light foot boots? Just very surprised you had heavy boots in BIS and light foot boots in Good.
If I am running a true phys survival bow build, I am running fowl boots or ruby silver adventurer! I’ll take the dex over the tiny movement speed that the light foots give. But lightfoots were bis for a long time. Maybe some would keep them there!
@@ttgleonidas1612 Actually, after thinking about this, even with the survival bow, I would still run heavy boots. I just like the amount of strength that they provide. But it is just my preference.
@@thedarkharvester Ty, I actually just got to the part in your video where you said best in slot! Thank you bc I’ve seen a lot of other videos that say bis and I was always confused! Lol
