Kinneko's method works so well.

I just recently got to Ranger, my build is pure dex and I have 2x plug +9s and 2x Arek +6 (but I'm saving up for a couple of stam rings).

I've been aoeing the cranes recently, because I don't have any sta and it's been fine. It might be a little slower than someone with more sta, but I'm not sure. I have no one to compare it to.

Here's the lvling order I use because I don't have Piercing Arrow(I believe it's at lvl 70, could be wrong on that) yet:

Ice, Fire, Ice, Refresher, Arrow, Fire, Ice

although, since I'm lvl 63 and killing Cranes, I only end up going Ice, Fire, Ice, Refresher, Arrow...then they're all dead.

so yeah, my whole point of this rambling was that you can do it with pure dex as your build, it just might take a bit longer.

Remember to do the Red Mantis Quest and the Bang quest so you get to lvl 61 and like 80%, then practice your aoe sequence. I suggest practicing on either Volts or Elderguards until you get the hang of it, then move on.
