Ranger Templates for New Frontiers -in-

[Slytale]

It's been quite some time since we've seen that NF is coming to Europe soon...

And in that light - we have to prepare ourselves for that. It's been quite a while now that i've been looking at some templates for Rangers , and came to the conclustion " It's nearly impossible to get all the good stuff " in one template.

So basically you have to make a choice - Sniper , Melee , or Hybrid.

I've seen alot of templates - and well they all sucked. Because people try and do too many things with them... ie. I WANT 26 DEX CAP OMF IT WILL MAKE ME UBER ... or I WANT +200 HITS . or whatever...

Problem being - you CAN'T get all that , because :

1 ) there's just not enough utility in the jewlry / Artis we get .
2 ) Just not enough Imbue points on the armour we craft.
3) You're just stupid and suck at making templates.

I've done my 1st real attempt at doing an archers template specifically aimed at Snipers in NF. I will include RA listings and RR too.

Now before you start telling me how bad it is etc. Take this into consideration.

GSV gives and extra +3% melee resist @ lvl 4 ( afaik) so i included that ontop. The resists and skill u see here have been clipped / changed to reflect their exact capped values. ie. if a resist was overcapped @ 29% and capped @ 26 , i made it 26.

I woulda loved to cap hits @ 240 and get my AF capped @ +50 too , woulda been nice but u can't get it all.

@ RR7

My current spec is:

50bow ,39 pierce , 21 cd , 33 stealth , 16 pf ( no autotrain ) 1pt left

RA listing for NF:

Aug dex 2
Aug con 2
Tough 2
AoM 2
Mastery of Stealth 3
Falcon's Eye 2
IP 2
Purge 2

omg! omg! worst template i've ever seen!

 

[Gesp]

I've seen alot of templates - and well they all sucked.

making a good temp in stats doesnt make a temp good either tho. a temp with sililia neck, zahur bracer, zahur ring, ml10 bow, feathered wrap and some other less-rare stuff, building it on a RR7's RA list/skill bonuses/spec, and making up its resists with nerfed AoM (which dont go directly into your magic resists anymore, but calculated secondarily after them) sucks too. 3 of 400 rangers in hib could barely reach this i think.

honestly, i dont see a point in this thread except showing off, like u going to dl and tell the rangers who didnt even ask (maybe didnt even realize yet) about your so-called only-one-in-exc ml10 bow sometimes

gl in NF.

edit: just realized, qui is not capped either, not so nice for a sniper temp i'd say.

hmm i don't see what your reply has to to do with me asking for help on my template. Also - AoM in NF works properly again ( but i could be wrong ).

As for the ml10 bow - yes it IS the only one still - and YES it's uber and people CONSTANTLY ask me to show / tell them stats , and YES i have been saving alot of cash to try and make this template, so please move along.
as for CAPPING all - i mentioned, you can't cap everything.

Aug quick can fix that 253 buffed quick draw cap - as well i don't have archery speed capped. But i am glad you're still looking at it, and giving feedback. Keep it coming.

 

[Gesp]

hmm i don't see what your reply has to to do with me asking for help on my template.

just read it again -the whole post- to be sure and fair, but it still seems like a teacher-ish template advice to all the rangers who look for one, instead of asking for help. and my reply was -and still is- based on that.

 

[Jika]

Showoff ;<

 

[Draylor]

Also - AoM in NF works properly again ( but i could be wrong ).

Works same way it does now - ie roughly half as effective as the %ages shown suggest.

 

[Vodkafairy]

i don't think we'll ever share the same opinion on a template tdaer, you always want to cap resists and i always want max stats

it's a pretty solid template though, lots of hard/impossible items to get for not tooo much return tho :x

 

[Slytale]

VF yep...

I found that resists work rather strange in DaoC. Even missing 2% off a vulnerable resist could cause an attacker to do capped damage on u vs. having capped resist and him doing the % value of the resist.

AoM in NF:

Ok so that would mean - instead of 5% resist added ontop , i would have 5% of the actual resist ?

ie. Resists with aom 2 ( as per ur description )

Body: 27 Energy: 27 Crush: 29
Cold: 27 Matter: 25 Thrust: 29 (3)
Heat: 25 Spirit: 23 (5) Slash: 28 (2)

correct me here plz if it's wrong

26% actual resist + aom 2 = 26% +1.3% = 27.3% ?

 

[Gesp]

say u'r gonna get hit for 125 and u have %20 resist, plus AoM 2.

%20 over 125 = down to 100 dmg
then %6 over 100 = down to 94 dmg.

before that nerf, it was directly calculated like u have %26 resist, so u would be hit for 92,5 dmg.

 

[Spamb0t]

loln00b 20dex cap only looloolol!! n00b4ever!
;-D

just screw cd

 

[Slytale]

loln00b 20dex cap only looloolol!! n00b4ever!
;-D

just screw cd

also just realized :~ with bow out - i only hit 15 dex cap .

already doing v2.0 of this temp that will use all 20 dex of the cap heh

stay tuned

 

[Ziz]

AoM does not directly add to ur resists
from what i havegatherd it works like lets say u take 100 damage then ur resists @ 26 kick in and then ur AoM takes damage form the damage that was left after ur resists took its share off

 

[censi]

its sweet template.

gesp fuck off with your constant flaming of anything and everything, some of us are interested in templates and its nice when people who know how to build good ones put them out their for constructive critism.

always interested to hear about ranger templates (as are people who play rangers)

I think that this could be improved minimally ill have a crack if I get time.

my suggestion would be to maybe consider swapping blackend wrap with dex based ceremonial. Would also look at swapping out ring of tempest for another higher imbue ring. Dont know if these would fit in though.

Failing that you should ditch the Astral bow for a LW bow and give the astral one to censi for safe keeping.

 

[Sporeungen]

Too Many Rare Items Feks. Feathered Wrap Zahur ring all that items is over 50p

 

[Gesp]

i didnt flame, just told what i thought, a temp worth 150p'ish and still not so uber, and with a ml10 item, just a showoff.

but u should stop flaming on anything u dont like instead tbh.

Loads of people have templates worth over 150-200p
My next template have a few rare items also maybe not as many as sly's tho.
Guard of Valor
Maddening Scalars
Sililia's Necklace
Plaited Hair of Malamis
Zahur's Ring
Zahur's Bracer.

Just becouse you are Broke and to lazy to farm stuff doesnt mean others also is it.

 

[Boni]

Nice to see templates whatever the items. My noob wanjer wont get his mits on most of these (or maybe he will see below), but its good to see what goes in and what you guys are aiming for.

Most of these items are available, im sure there are more like 50-100 players with both FW and zahurs ring and they go nicely in ANY template, hell I got them on my eld so I could always lend them to my alt for a while...

I really dont see the point of flaming people over making decent templates. Should they post some crap template with quest items and maybe a bit of old hib epic armour, maybe get a gemlicker claw in there, nice proc on them you know and drop off greencon mobs!!!1

 

[Nausilus^^]

Looks to become a pretty good template to me if you fix the dex cap with bow out thing. I wonder though, why you count in the resists from GSV, and don't cap melee resists without the GSV aura. The 3% resist aura would be a nice bonus on top of the 26% melee resists making it 29% resists + racial resists. But I know it can be hard to cap the things you want.. I quit trying to make my own template due to inadequacy of making it. I don't have time to farm for the insanely/somewhat rare items, nor xp'ing hours and hours on scarabs and sharks. Maybe I'll try in NF though, or catacombs when there are even more new items and propably more new things to cap.

 

[Avindor]

Good template with nice stats, skills and resists. Downside are of course the rare items but if you got them already then gratz

Btw, in NF legendary adzes will have Dex instead of Con. So if you can make use of that better than the con version....

 

[Spamb0t]

with croc tooth dagger and lw (didnt really add that dex/con stat on the lw as it doesnt really matter, already above cap before that)
2 gimped resists but as u said cant get it all ;-D
and these resists r all before gsv/aom/whatever cheats
