And only CC is stun, which durations is already reduced tue to resists... food for most stealthers and duos.

Debuff -> Stun

If you guys don't mind, could we get back to the actual topic please (just to remind you, that was "rangers")? I don't think an enchanter was what the author had in mind when he asked for stealthers...

There are a fair number of stealthers in all three realms, Hibernia's NS and rangers just seem to be more active in comparison.

Hm... I think I would try to combine a bow-ranger with a nightshade.

That actually works really well on all 3 realms, be it a scout & infi, hunter & SB or ranger & NS duo. The respective archers don't necessarily need a high bow spec, just enough to pull their enemies into the assassin's PA (usually followed by CD). The resulting stun gives them more than enough time to tear up an enemy, if it's not purged. Works wonders against over-confident high RRs!

umh yeah thx for all the nice suggestions and ideas. allthough i played with the thought of making a visible solo/duo class i tend to play stealth just because of the style too
the point is if the emerald realm is really that overloaded with stealthers i will have to fight for another realm to balance it, however, i would love to play an elf ranger
are there any estimations about realm ratio? 1:5:2 (alb:hib:mid) ?
greetings and a good evening

by the way: thank you for helping me! i hope i can return the favour once. there seem to be a lot of friendly people on uthgard

No problem, I'm glad if I can help. As to the ratio, I don't know what to tell you mate. I can't say anything regarding Midgard, although I have seen a few SBs and hunters in the low BGs recently; however, Albion seems to have a bit of a scout boom going on and Hibernians keep up their constant flow of fresh (sneaky) blood.

Most people that roll a stealther and have the patience to grind them up to about RR5 won't let them go though. Your best chance of finding out is to use the Herald and check for the LWRP of each of the stealther classes.

Well alot of people are picking stealthers for soloing now, because of OF, because of the long run for hib. As a visable, you maybe making that run, just to die to a infi/SB ready to PA at Alb gate or mid gate or by a grp. And there was alot of hib stealther in NF, but ive noticed a increase in mid and alb stealthers since OF change, which i think is because hibs have to run , when albs and mids only need to wait on a port that is 8 min or less. But he wants to play a ranger or nightshade.

And since Old ra maybe coming, youl have to factor that in your choice. As a ranger, youl have to depend on camo or else youl be pray, while the NS will not be able to see the enemy assasin coming for a PA. But with camo on the ranger you can use true sight to detect all stealther for 1min. And with old ras the NS will have viper, unlike the infi and SB, but no vanish for NS.

As a ranger i would level up with full melee, dont blow your auto training, youl need it. And bow is only good to pull mobs. When you get to 50, you can get away with 35 - 40 bow with decent dmg, 50 bow will only be a little better, unless youl depend on volley, which if we get old ra's , volley will be a RA, so you dont need high bow spec to get it. Id go with a decent melee spec and bow. Myn is 39 blades , 35 bow as a celt. I dont have to much trouble with assasins, and you can even get away with 34 blade/pierc if you wanted more bow, but youl be in more melee then firing sometimes. I also suggest 40-42 PF, for good str , dex/qui, dmg add and AF, anything lower or higher isnt worth it or lacking. If you play Elf, youl have to go with pierc, since youl be lack alot of str for blades. That is why i picked celt for a little extra hp and more str for the option of blades. Even though blades is lacking avalible styles. I got less dex for my bow, but compared to my luri ranger i had, the bow dmg is about the same.

What ever your choice is, just have fun, dont listen to the to much stealthers, or play this realm and so on. Pick what you want and have fun with your GF.

Yeah, use autotrain for ranger-bow and ns-stealth, unless you are doing bg chars.

Because emain is the most active rvr zone id personally prefer a mid or alb stealth duo for the 4 min average teleport over sloooow running to emain. (how long does it take aprox to run for a non-speed class?).

It takes my ranger exactly 7min to run from boarder to start of emain zone with just speed of the realm , not stopping and using sprint when i could. I wanted to test that out once, by putting a buff on and counting how much time was left when i got to emain, which it was just my normal buffs on a 20min timer, and i got to emain at 13min left on my last buff i casted at the boarder.

So in most cases albs and mids have less down time, unless they release , just when the port time has reset to 8min, which isnt normaly the case.
