Crux shot - 1/5
Reason
Not very useful,even though it adds about 20% damage but it have to be used agian everytime you attack
Homing missile - 1/5 or 5/5
Reason
If you enjoy pvp then max this skill,this can make enemy in air fly abit higher
Aerial fury - 0/5
Reason
I don't see this skill very useful
Random shot - 1/5
Reason
Can't move until the 2nd arrow is shot,and the shooting speed is slightly slower than normal
Accelerator tuning - 0/5 or 5/5
Reason
If you still have skill point after maxing homing missile max this too,Increase attack of homing missile
RPG-7 - 1/5
Reason
For gatling rush,rising arrow works better
Gatling rush - 5/5
Reason
This is why we are rangers,if you don't add this then switch to hunter.11hit on 10 enemies but cd time is quite disappointing (9s i think)
H.E.grenade - 0/5 or 5/5
Reason
This skill is not very useful before lv3 cause you only throw 1 grenade but this is good for aoe cause it have okay cd time,but prepare alot of mp pot
(the cd time for the skill was changed to 5s,so this could be ignored.I still found this useful since it does good damage)
Composite - 0/5,0/1 or 5/5
Reason
Higher damage for grenade
Auto-shot system - 5/5
Reason
350%damage,same as gatling rush,very good skill.There is also a sniper skill to make this better,do not start adding this right away cause it have short time and low damage
you might not agree with my way of adding skills you are always welcome to say your point i enjoy learning about new builds
Prediction On 3rd Job
I'm not so sure what ranger will be like in this server,so I'm giving a basic idea of ranger's skill and what was useful to me.
ASS upgrade - this skill is the most important skill for sniper,making auto-shot system faster and giving higher damage.Require 75 sp to max
Focus - Add 3.0% chance of getting critical hit,pretty useless compared to hunter,I wounder why...Mage and thief set gave way more chance of critical hit(they should really remove the decimal)Require 75 sp to max.
Flashbang - Decrease enemy accuracy and evation by 27% for 13s when maxed,screen also turn white in pvp.Can't use while in air though...so I don't find this very useful.Require 75 sp to max
Caused bomber - Decrease physical attack and defence,pvp skill perhaps?Max if you want.Require 75 sp to max
Fire grenade - Amazing low damage...13damage per second,don't recommend on adding more than 2
Carpet bombing - Another good skill other than ASS upgrade,but this skill have casting time...100sp to max
Additional bombing - Max it,give an extra line to carpet bombing.15sp to max
Volcan 300 - This i haven't tried,i heard you can't move while using it
Camouflage - Stay at lv1 cause lv1 and lv5 have the same effect.Use this before you use carpet bombing,cause you won't appear until carpet bombing hits.10sp
Adrenaline - Plus 30% attack speed,doesn't affect skills i think.75sp to max
Atropine - This skill doesn't work for me,not sure what it's used for,doesn't seem to cure anything
*Since ranger set give more damage to critical hit,you could try using weapon that also add more critical damage.*
Little tips
Rising arrow - Other than launching enemy into air and spamming anti-air shot,this can also be used to keep combo during mission maps.In mission maps there are gaps between mobs,after jumping through the gap,use this to hit something to keep you're combo,do not rush into using anti-air shot,move into the best position first,the use rising arrow agian.
Grenade - This skill is most efficient when used in air,the 3 grenade will spread abit and you will hit more mobs.
Gatling rush - See mobs gathered closely together and want to use this?I bet all rangers want to do the same,but don't randomly go and use it,long range mob can hit you and your skill will be stopped,stand alittle below the mob then shoot,or go to the back of the mob(where long range stand)and shoot.
Auto-shot system - I rarely use this skill other than fighting boss,sometimes there are alot of mobs together and if I go up and use gatling rush it's easy to get hit,so use auto-shot system first and lure some into it's range,when it's safer,then use gatling rush to clean up.
RPG-7 - When 2 mobs are seperated in 1 line,rising arrow can not hit both,use RPG-7 first then rising arrow,then use AAS,you will hit both.
Homing missile - In pvp,rising arrow first,if missed,RPG-7 until you get the enemy on air,anti-air shot first,when he's half way to the ground,use this,he will fly higher,then anti-air shot agian...
*Even after 2nd job,rising arrow+anti-air shot is still the main way of getting combos*
Equipments
Before lv20 just wear whatever you can get
Weapon
Get weapon with accuracy if best,if not then agi,if not then str
Clothing
If you're rich then get a set with alot of agi,if you're poor then just get random cloth with agi
*The stat given on ranger set is abit disappointing,c'mon mp recovery?...*
Ring,necklace,etc.
Best if you have these with accuracy,if you dont then get str or crit rate
Where to train
Ranger can also go through mission really fast,only slower than battle mage and jester,and archers are easier compare to other jobs so your training won't be in so much pain.
lv1-20
This is a slow part since you dont have much skill,so just follow quest and do mission,at lv15,if you have money or you have high lv friends,get them to train you at shark mission,its much faster than training at lower mission.
lv20-25
Shark mission at bearded whale coast
lv25-27
The other shark mission(i dunno the name)
lv27-30
You should have gotten scroll to hidden map from shark mission,so go there and train
lv30+
From the hidden map you should have got some type of rock,exchange them for dark map scroll and train at dark map missions,those map give alot of exp and give dark set
*Remember to do all the quest connecting to the mission you're doing,but forget about quests when you're doing mission map with a effective party.*
if you know faster training ways plz tell me^_~
Feel free to post any suggestion or comment,if you have any questions that i know the answer,i'll answer them as soon as possible
