Hey Archer mates,

I have a few Ranger questions, the available charplaners seem not accurate:

What are the basic stats of a lvl 1 Lurikeen:
40 str, 40 con, 80 dex, 80 quick ?

At lvl 48 pathfinding, which bonus does the self d/q buff have ? +48 or +72 ?

Thx, Rami

48 after my newest consultation and 42 on 40.
SO better spare it and use Charges from Pookha Lord Mantle

edit: 36 PF seems common

edit again: suggest spec i got was (with at)
41 bow
33 Stealth
24 CD
34 Slash
36 PF

Is Ramiye rerolling hib?

thinking about ...
only thinking, so far ...

I can recommend 40 pf for the yellow d/q. Yes the d/q charge is superior to even the red self buff. But the spec AF buff is also very important especially 1v1, and since you can only use charge every 2 min. And many times when in zerg, killing lowbies (heh..) etc it's really nice not to have to spend a fortune on charges. However I would never go above 40 pf, you would sacrifice too much in other skills.

I would also never go below 50 comp stealth, well it depends on your play style, but if you intend to solo, go near amg etc it's a huge impact.

I've tried many specs but I can recommend my current one: 34 pierce, 35 stealth, 40 bow, 40 pf, 19 cd, at RR5. At RR6 lower stealth to 34 and raise cd to 21. I tried higher bow but didn't notice much difference. At 34 pierce you get the 2nd followup to the anytime style, with an attack speed debuff, very high hit bonus and low endo cost. It's very useful in close combat.

The buff is always *1.25 so if it states +48 it is instead +60

I thought the AF buff in the PF line was just a normal AF buff, ie. Worthless.

The level 42 af buff adds 7 AF when you have a full 99qu template suit (prob nothing if a MP suit)

RR4L3

For me before buff AF = 588
After buff AF - 595

removed . I figured out my concern.

Base AF has always had a cap at whatever a full MP suit would be (I think - or pretty damn close).

It should be. It was one of Larian's many complaints with the PF line.

It is. I was refering to the crafted +75 spec AF buff (sorry for not being clear; I don't even have the self AF buff on my bars because mp gear = 0 AF gain). Since you can only use items every 2 min, I prefer to always have spec AF charge up, along with the yellow self d/q buff. Then I'll switch the self d/q buff for +75 charge d/q when defending keeps or preparing for a specific fight where I have those extra 2 minutes to get both charge buffs in.

roll celt imo

advice:
d/q phooka
af charge on grey boots or as defensive proc

dex pot
con pot
s/c pot

(hp,endu pots ofc, combined with bp stones)

don't go higher bow than 35
go high cd & pierce
keep stealth atleast 48 (with bonus)

might as well roll a NS at this point

This. People seem to forget this fact.

Also, people seem to underestimate the damage add's benefits.

Pathfinding is one of the more unappreciated stealther lines, it kind of surprises me so many shoot it's usefulness down. (Pun intended).

I'd rather put points in that line then Bow past level 30.

Ramiye! Nooooooooooooo!
