Archery Training help

[Edy]

Well I rerolled my Rogue into a ranger and I want to continue the archer plan so What is a good archery plan for me anyone?

A rogue rerolled into a ranger?!?

Reverse and repeat. Rogues make great archers!

I can help you if you're wanting to look at archery from a rogue's perspective. Stunseed will probably be the best to ask from a ranger perspective, he's all woodsy and stuff. He's probably off hugging trees right now even. :whistle:

[Edy]

Cool I will I just like the Ranger class... In every game i played i played a Ranger/Hunter and I love it and there all archers lol.... Plus I like the spells =)

[Artha]

Rangers are better archers almost all of the time anyway.

2x ranged
2x perception
1x ambush
1x dodge

consider Cuirboulis leather (18 ranks Armor Use)or Double chain (50 ranks Armor Use)
that protect Torso/Arms. Rank 2 hits to your head or arms as an archer will leave you unable to cast or attack.

Here are my starting stats for a sylvan ranger.

Strength (STR): 80
Constitution (CON): 50
Dexterity (DEX): 85
Agility (AGI): 70
Discipline (DIS): 70
Aura (AUR): 70
Logic (LOG): 50
Intuition (INT): 90
Wisdom (WIS): 75
Influence (INF): 20

My training path:
1x armor
2x ranged weapons
1.5x ambush
1x physical fitness
1x dodge
1x harness power
1x survival and first aid
2x stalking and hiding
2x perception
1x spell circle


Get 20 ranks of climbing and 10 ranks of swimming by the time you're 20 trains.

When you have free tp's, get some mana control in there.

:sniffle: I just wanna lvl for now what is a good cookie cuter ranger plan i can do to get me going in the lvls?

[Divinity]

What I just posted. You're able to uphunt and level quickly, or at least, that's the way it's been for me.

Good idea going two-handed. Archery sucks cow balls.

Get more armor, don't worry about climb and swim that early on. I'd keep harness power to 1 rank below your current lvl. So if you're 5 you only need 4 ranks, if you're 60 you only need 59, etc. I'd also lower INT, taking those points to raise LOG and CO.

Also I would suggest writing your posts in word or any other word processor, proofing and then posting.

[Stunseed]

Anticor wins. Also once to 24 ranks of PF, I'd 1.2 to 1.5x in PF. Also you seem to lack spells.

[Stunseed]

< Stunseed will probably be the best to ask from a ranger perspective, he's all woodsy and stuff. He's probably off hugging trees right now even. >

I don't "do" Archery. However, most Ranger q&a I can handle.

[Edy]

Thanks for the info. And I'll try to watch the Typos :bleh:.
But what do I need to do with the spells?
Can I do Spirit and ranger base?
and drew if your out there can you give me your training plan?


Thanks

[AnticorRifling]

You don't have to have spells I guess but you should be as close to 1x as possible in my opinion. Rangers have some great spells that can aid them in combat.

This set up gives me a hunting 403 AS with a 5x longbow, CoL signs, pure potion and ebladed arrows, (with a full wizard spell-up) 4 second roundtime for sniping, 3 for shooting out of hiding, (again, with a full wizard-spell up) 364 DS in offensive, level 5 shadow mastery / level 1 of some other skill (right now disarm.)

For PvP, I can use a 5x heavy crossbow for 508 AS with self 117 but without Sign of Madness.

For what I wanted, this set up has worked the best. I snipe like nobody's business, I hide really well, and I have the potential to break 558 AS for one shot, with a sustainable 433 with a crossbow, 403 with a longbow. The only thing I find myself wanting is steal kneeling / standing. But I can't have everything. :*(
