Sniper ranger enhancives

[Ryku]

Well I decided after hitting about lvl 115 on my ranger that the scatter sucks, otf sucks, and nelemar is very very dull but GoS sounds really cool as far as end game content goes. So I dropped CoL and my weedmage build and went GoS sniper. Im struggling so far but slowly getting the hang of honest to god archery. Im torn though on what enhancives to use however. Im fully 2x in hiding and have enough cman training to max out shadow mastery but im still getting knocked out of hiding quite often in all hunting scenarios. Im not sure if it has to do with a lack of multi opponent training (does that make a difference even?) Or if I need to be stacking stalking and hiding enhancives. Right now im using dex boosting orbs and have dex on my badge since it seems to be the way to go as far as offense goes but getting knocked out of hiding and casted/cmaned is pissing me off. Aspect of the panther seems to help but its just such a short duration. What do you all think?

I found with my younger ranger (63) that I stayed hidden much better with maxxed blessing lore than I did with maxxed shadow mastery. If you are old enough to do both might be worth a try.

I'd be interested to see your entire copy/paste of current skills, and I'd be glad to draw up some concrete recommendations.

Eh too late I fixskilled out of it back to open archer with a boatload of ranger ranks. It was just ridiculous how easy I was getting popped out in every hunting zone. Just wasnt worth the 1000s of training points it required to go sniper to see it get pissed away 80% of the time. Maybe if I did mix it up and max out blessing lore it would have been better but I just have such a bitter taste in my mouth about it I wont be going back. Thanks tho guys.

Damn, I was interested to hear about that too.

MOC will not affect your ability to hide against mobs right?

Ryku, what was getting you out of hiding? Was it when you shot your bow or were the Grimswarm searching and finding you? Did you have better or worse luck against undead?

[Ryku]

I would get popped out when firing when there were multiple creatures in the room it seemed. I shoot one in the eye but the other guy would see me. Or they would just point me out as I would sneak into a room or shortly after using 608. Sometimes they'd point me out before my casting RT was up or even hiding RT and thus I wouldnt get a shot off before getting popped out. Basically I would spend about 40% of my combat time in the shadows unless I was up against a solo target. OTF was really bad, the Ithzir, constructs, and griffins were all on me like white on rice. I didn't try nelemar or the rift so I don't know how much harder the undead would be but its the grimswarm knocking me out regularly that made me fixskill. The whole point of respeccing my build was to go GoS and stomp warcamps.

My answer is 612 + summoning ranks. That helps immensely for camps, but it also scatters all your arrows so...

[Ryku]

Yeah the GoS I do the more I realize how helpful these damn summoning ranks would be. Too expensive though gonna have to still wait a bit on them. Breeze is gold though no doubt about that.
