Ranger solo

Yeah I have my level 41 druid so I go back to her.

Liquidate the ranger and roll an iksar monk, see if the hype is true for yourself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Iksar are so 2000

I stayed with my ranger, finally got to level 55 :-) Been playing very seldom these days so 54 took forever.

I was thinking of swithing out my SCHW + TBB for a Sash of the Dragonborn + Crystal Chitin Gauntlets. It must be better for solo right? I go from 13 AC, 22 haste and 15 STR to 20 AC, 24 haste, 10 STR and 35 MANA. That must be a nice gain from loosing 5 STR right or am I thinking wrong?

No, I dont think I can afford any of the better haste items sold :-)

That's a net 7AC 2% haste 35 mana -5STR. Probably not a huge change, but I'd put it in the upgrade category...

Good job on 55! Where were you fighting? I still think your best path is getting a Swiftwind somehow. The stone from KC is pretty common now!

Rangers are strong solo, even untwinked. Grt a good bow and arrows, then snare kite shit with your dot and flame lick while shooting them down to 60. Then you only have to melee 40% before mob runs, conserving your hp.

I see now that u have already succeeded. Grats

[demokatt]

Thanks! I often end up choosing between AC And STR, I wonder how much dps gain from going STR 220 -> 250 compared to the defence gained from AC 950 -> 1000?

1000 ac is pretty hard to get w/ 200 def cap. Once we get the 220 patch... maybe not, but Cecily crushes Zalea in AC atm. I think at your level, just go for nice items. Solid, expense upgrades that do a bit of everything which you'll use for the foreseeable forever. Multistat gear helps a bunch (fiery might / RBG / Eyepatch of Plunder/ BoBenvolence x 2/ Helm of the Tracker). Belt of the Great Turtle isn't a bad idea, but I think its regen still doesn't stack with fungi which sucks.
