trying to go for a dungeon build for my ranger… i was toying around and found a build that seems promising but i would like the opinion of experts… i didnt copy this build and dont know it there is 1 like it floating around… here is a link.
the goal is to use signets as need for buffs during fights and to use the 5% vit to power to its fullest advantage. ive used a few builds and have not really found a happy medium that seems to work for my play style… so far this build seems legit to me, but the “Glass cannon” thing with alot of vit seems iffy to me, hence the asking for advice. im not a newb, but im not elite/pro/best player out there either, so im hoping a few of the op pros can shoot me a few pointers on if my build is super crap/scrap it, or if maybe i am on to something, but use these tweeks instead. thanks for any advice/raging/put-downs to the build any of u take the time to give valkyrie is the basic idea so to speak…
Hmm, I don’t know. In my opinion, the glass cannon with a lot of vitality still might not be as effective since you have no toughness to back it up. I’m trying to make a build that has good survivability but also has good damage, but in the end I think you always have to sacrifice something.
I don’t like using these build websites too much because there is no pve gear, so I don’t think you can get too much of an accurate build. Someone really needs to make a pve build tool.

i agree.. hard to gauge any build since everything is pvp based… but like i said.. im gunning for valkyrie pve gear if that helps my explanation any =\

Well if you want good damage and really good survivability go with Soldiers gear, but sadly this wont help you if you use conditions. I personally only use toughness and i don’t go down very easily, a good way to look at it is that toughness = really good against raw damage, vitality = really good against conditions, mix of vitality and toughness = decent all around survivability, but it’d be better to put a large amount in either one or the other (or both via soldiers gear).
@OP: I think your guild looks pretty good, however i’d say go with PvE Valkyrie armor because it gives high amounts of Power and Crit damage, pair that with a red moa (or another source of Fury) and you have a 20% chance to just destroy some poor enemy with each hit, this would ALSO give you more power for the vitality bonus you get from the armor giving you a good amount of survivability, and since you are clearly a ranged ranger you should have ample amounts of utility to just flat out avoid raw damage (your mortal enemy as a high vitality user).
It looks like an all around good build, however i’d drop Sharpened Edges and go with something else, that’s just me though.

I currently have power/precision/toughness armor with power/toughness/vitality rings and accessories with power/crit damage/vitality gems. I don’t have the best gear and could use more toughness, but it works decently. But like Durzlla said, no condition damage can suck, and having no healing power is iffy at times, too. But if you want more vitality, you can change the power/precision/toughness gear with power/toughness/vitality gear and use Rune of the Ranger to get around the same amount of precision you had and have some crit damage also.
I’m having a difficult time choosing what I want with my ranger. In the end, I’m probably going to end up with every gear combination possible. Lol

i planned on going valkyrie, and i want a dungon build so im hoping thaat i wont be the target of many things as theres usually some1 in the group that will be taking the dmg…(hope its not me tho ><) what should i use in place of sharpening edges?? i just wanted to dab a little toughness in there so im not uber 1 hit kill able just in case… so i wouldnt know what else to put, but i would like to keep some toughness tho =\
if any1 cares to know.. i was playing around in some low lvl FotM dungeons and i do actually hit quite hard now. my short bow almost always hits for 1500 when it crits and that is quite often. (dunno if its luck or not) and i am not as squishy as i thought i would be either. i traded sharpened edges for promal reflexes and that helps out alot more then i originally thought it would.. all in all i think this is a really good build now, that is thanks to ur info! im gunna link the build again with the 1 change i made in case any1 else wants to try it out.. its really fun actually and the survivability isnt all that bad… may get a toughness vit power ring, earring to get some more toughness into my toon to help a little bit more but as of right now…. i like it =3
atm im not in the gear i want to be in, so my stats will not reflect the runes and some armor still missing… as of now my stats are:
attack: 3199
crit chance: 31
armor: 2153(green)2118
health: 20,662
i am missing majority of my gear and all runes… i only have valkyrie chest and pants with minor divinity runes, and other gear is berserker CoF set. as for jewelry i am wearing:
mad memories of the berserker complete edition
ancient karka shell
ruby orichalcum amulet of the berserker (crafted one)
Solaria, Circle of the Sun
Marriner’s Compass
Opal mithril earring of the explorer.
hope this helps a bit.. but again… im only about 1/2 way to what i actually want out of the build… i can do FotM at lvl 10 and not get completely smashed so that has to be a good sign right??? LOL
