Ragnarok Ranger preview

Hello folks, this is Kivex

My ranger is 120 agi/dex improving the sniper inside him.
There are 4 main skills i use:
Arrow Rain - 700% Atk in a 5x5 AoE
Dmg Trap - 500% Atk, maximum 3 traps (500x3 Atk is so strong 1 shots a lot of classes)
Bite - Acts as Ankle Snare with a 10 sec cooldown. Very userful for Calculated Shot
Calculated shot - 400% Atk that hits 3 to 5 times (400x5 = 2000% atk !!!) depending on size.
For mvping i like finishing off mobs with arrow rain and use traps while running. Hitting Atroce isn't a choice because he uses Defender, and Arrow Rain/Traps don't activate that. If Defender activates, everything you do is nerfed by 80% and the buff lasts 2 minutes. Everything explained on the video, Enjoy!!

3rd classes of Ragnarok

After a few years playing Ragnarok, you should know nearly enough about all skills, every now and then they add new items which bring new builds to some classes, getting some classes stronger then before, etc. Items like Ice Pick changed everything about Ragnarok. Too much VIT now gets owned by ice pick users very fast, etc.

Now that 3rd classes came out. Everything changed! Ragnarok was always imbalanced as assassin cross being extremely overpowered most of the time, and sometimes extremely uneffective, it is all about what/who he is against. 3rd class Sorcerer is very overpowered in pvp as it one shot anything. But let's skip the boring part, as this creates a lot of discussions..

Playing 3rd classes is AMAZING. They ARE gods and is so much fun to play. Before, snipers had 190 attack speed, higher damage possible, 150 dex. Now that the level cap increased for 3rd classes, RANGERS have 190 aspd, a ton of more DEX, and a lot of stat points to add. Str for capacity? Int for higher m regen / max mp? Luk for more crit (with vanberk card this is kinda useless hehehe)

Now the best part about it:
He have a huge area of effect (AOE) skill, so powerful that 1-hit-KO the mobs of a MVP, making it so much easier to take down.

More traps, more damage and guarantee of 190 attack speed. and thats in any max lvl 99 server guys. I think the max lvl is still 99, but when you exchange to 3rd class it increases to 120...

Now that being said... I can't imagine how many builds we can do with all this extra statpoints... Ragnarok will be a little easier to play with no necessity of godly gears, so all the painful leveling of low rate sure rewards later! And the class will be able to hunt stuff they couldn't with that extra power. :)

Ragnarok Whitesmith Guide / Blacksmith Leveling Guide #2

As Whitesmith there are some paths to choose:

Starcraft II Forge

Forger
*Can make elemental weapons for money and for other classes (This guy stopped making so much money because people now can use slotted weapons with Elemental Converter / Buffs from Sage/Professor...)
*Can refine weapons at higher chances then NPCs and at no cost. (Won't require stats, just job 70, because normally, whitesmiths dont have enough skills to add refine weapon skill points.


Cart Termination Build
*Heavy damage dealer with very high survivality. Both Agi and Vit are important. Agi based builds will focus more to PvM. High Vit builds focus MvP and PvP/WoE play.
*Require a lot of money to finish this guy's gear. Ice Pick is the main weapon and most of the times the most expensive item to get/buy.








Critical Build
*Fun & Cheap build which is totally focused for PvM. The downside of this build is not spamming high damage at enemy at 1,500 zeny costs a hit (Cart Termination), killing a bit slower but makes a lot of money too, risk free investiment for hunting...
*For PvP is good versus flee builds.








Forger Stats, Equipment and Skills:




*Stats*

P.S. Refine Weapon means less weapons to be made. Maces and daggers aren't sold very often, so i'd reduce to minimum and put to Refine Weapon. Other things are the Tempering. Irons/Steels are easy to get so i'd reduce to minimum. Ending with lvl. 10 Refine Weapon.
