AoE Ranger's Guide (Version 7)

Introduction

REGISTER TO REMOVE THIS AD

A lot of people have been asking about ranger specifics. Since I have been answering them, I thought I just might as well make a guide for it. I know Zeir made a guide, but seeing how he got a few facts wrong (sorry, but its true...) and rangers got a lot better since v7, I think its not wrong to remake that guide.

This guide wont (at least now) contain any pictures, since a picture doesnt really help you catch a fact better.

Also, this guide does not contain information about how to get an acrobat to level 60.

If you are new to FlyFF, and want to play a bow user, chances are that you want to be a bow jester. If you are not sure if you should pick ranger or bow jester, my advice is to pick bow jester, since its much easier to play. If, however, you are not new to the game and have set your mind on making a ranger, then this guide should provide you with useful information.

The major difference between a ranger and other AoE classes is the strong emphasis on block rate. As I will explain in the builds section, rangers can discard almost all concerns for maximum HP and defense rate, if the block rate is right.

For more general information on rangers, you might want to read Rangers: Master of the bow written by Cascadia.

For a FAQ about rangers, please visit meimei's Ranger's Refuge.

I base this guide on my personal experience with my ranger, which was a 70 sta build until lvl 75 when i restatted to full dex. Since lvl 91, however, i started adding sta. Recently, I finally reached lvl 105 (edit: after switching through a few chars, my ranger recently reached 114. azria grind is easy o.o)

Thanks to kilicatlet and other fellow rangers for their review and suggestions.

Nice guide so far. Only thing I really have to suggest is that the 'b' in the title of the Block page is lower case and should probably be capitalized to match the rest of the guide XD

Wooo~

But major is spelt mayor on the introduction xD

both fixed now ^_^

anything to add, disagreements, comments about the content?

You might want to add what Speedos actually increase (right now you just have the percentage), as some players may not know what they do. They are kinda rare after all.

I was looking at the leveling pattern. I thought that shotting Arrow Rain first would be smarter? Since it has a longer cooldown and DoT, wouldn't it be wise to use it first and then ice/fire/piercing which it recharges and does Damage over Time? I'm probably wrong, cause I'm not even up to AoE-ing yet >_< But I just couldn't understand why that. And also~ I think you should also explain what DoT is for those who might not know.

with that many monsters on you its smarter to use ice arrow first to reduce the chances of you getting critted while your using your other skills. i always use ice arrow, fire arrow (for fire field during arrow rain) arrow rain, ice arrow fire arrow arrow rain

I diagree with many points you have in the guide... LoL
Mainly about the solo-builds and the overated block of a full dex ranger at lower lvl.
The block percentage seem a bit strange to me, are you 100% sure on them? I think the mob's atk rate and lvl play a huge role in block rates.
I have to flame you in the DI skill, don't you ever use it if you hav a FS partner with you.

You should put in something about bow mastery. Also Nature increase def against ranged mob attack. (ele and ranger can AoE on ranged mobs)

That's what I pick up so far, add in more things later. *writing report*

i dont have any solo builds listed. its an aoe rangers guide o.O

for the DI skill i have a text shortcut to warn the RM if i am about to go DI. maybe i should add that too.
i didnt think that bow mastery is worth the skill points, thats why i didnt mention it.

bow mastery is NOT worth the skill points. just 2 clarify alol

. when you have time could u throw in the monsters u think rangers should kill at certain levels? since were calculating based on block rate and not HP tanking ability it gets pretty tricky for new rangers 2 figure out were 2 go 0_o

I mean "solo-AoE" builds u have. sta 40-60 is quiet RM depend at late 60 to 75 (well that's what i think, at least my ranger have that build and cant AoE solo from fish)
Just say BM is useless is gd enough

But I think that depends on your equipment as well.

And I think elementing armour/weapon should be included. Also a little element advantage diagram will be good.

Not fully agree, now i have 40 stam rest dex; lvl 82. and i may call myself relying on blockrate. but since block rate is a chance and never go higher then 95%. there is still a chance of getting fully crit unblocked. When i aoe lvl 88 mobs(tree) Sometime other AoEer run into my AoE and get all of his gathers into mine. So i aoe like 30 monstors. But i dont even need starcandy. Sometime even i only aoe 7 mobs, i still die in one second from full hp. (1 unblock hit is 1/3 of my hp, even with 40 stam and only 6 lvl higher, due to ranger low def we still take lot of damage if unblocked)

Also, even with 60 stam, you cant solo without FS after lvl 75. My old guildmate have 60 stam. and he aoe quite efficienty with a FS. Full dex AoE work on ranger, but it require lot of nerve and skill. As a guild for all kind player, i think you should include other built for non - skillfull player too. With a bit of stam sure it can give you more buffer HP. 30 dex added may only give ~6% block, but 30 stam added may save you from another unluckily crit.

Block is nice for a AoEer and Ranger have an avantage in block from combining Attack and blockrate stat(DeX). But a good Aoer shoud consider all element he have. For example the Cushion HP, and deference rate (like most ranger here i bet they +element their suit unless they +6-+10 their set).

This guild have a strong message that will make new player go full dex. Although you mention full dex is good only 75+ or so; there is 90% of your post mention how good block rate is over other element. If i m a new player i will be too focus into full dex. This will make the gameplay more boring. Also i think a guild should not set such a narrow limit of the choice of reader.
