Melee Ranger for NF

[Judge BrokenHeart]

Been thinking options how to make melee ranger, and started to toying with builder. Please tell me what you think of this spec for Shar Ranger:

- Path 25 (165%/35 sec speed burst)
- Stealth 37 (too much?)
- CD 39
- Blades 39
- Bow 30 (with auto giving 12)

All other stealth classes are vulnerable (mid) or neutral (alb) against blade, and it fits as str based for Shar. Ranger's armor is not vulnerable for any stealther used weapon style, as neutral against thrust and resistent against slash giving small advantage agains enemy assasin classes.
With 10 given str/con/dex base stats, level 50 Shar will have 85 str, 90 con, 105 dex as base.

In my oppinion this class/race combo will be nutcracker with NF, everyone please give informative feedback.

Spec as melee rangur:
44 wep(better styles in pirec and not hit as hard by debuff-better artis for blades)
35 bow u get RF thats al u need u wont miss much and u shot hard no matter what all the sniper rangers think
35 stealth rr 4 is fast so 49 will be enough for long, till rr 5
38 CD with artis and LW those procs on off hands are fight winners
9 PF the spd burst is all u need, with spring spd burst back snare ull run down most

shar or celt really doesnt matter imo i just dont like the shar looks, my luri ranger has 332 str buffed

Melee Ranger ? you mean a BM with stealth?

If u wanna melee and stealth go ns imo (as previously posted)

 

[Undrentide]

did he say he wants a nightshade? k thx

 

[Ilienwyn]

why go melee in NF? It will actually be fotm using bow. Some say 3-4 archers can get a tower, claim it and farm good

NF is bow 50 FTW mate! I think you've seen too many of Quirva's vids

I had 40 bow, got it at 50 now, the difference is huge! You could combine it with 44 pierce by sacrificing your CD. Still, if you want a melee char, as other ppl said, go for a BM, NS or anything but ranger! Just imagine if someone said that wants to go for a short-bow hero what your answer would be!

On the other hand, nightshades and blademasters don't have a ranged attack worth spit, and blademasters can't even stealth! Rangers are great jack-of-trades and adapt to just about anything, and the one dimentional comparisons to other classes are just rubbish :kissit:

One thing I will comment on is Bow - take it to 35 and get rapid fire 1 + volley 1, or your bow line will be too gutted I think. Sacrifice some stealth and pathfinding for it, it's worth it.

my 2c:

50 sword
16 PF
30 bow
30 stealth
~30 CD

I know Dersu has something like this and he always did pretty well (it's the ranger on the Zoia SoS video)

with that spec yu have highest WS through spec, decent stealth and can still hurt with bow. 16 PF is enough to catch up a running enemy.
