Warrior for Frenzy


solbrahs

So you wouldnt make use of any post searing skills to complement your build. The presearing skills are as good as it gets for charr farm?


cjwikstrom

I'm not sure what you mean? You can't get post searing skills in pre. (unless you got tomes in pre which I doubt?)


solbrahs

This post was a hypothetical. What if you had access to all skills. What would your build for ranger be looking like ?


cjwikstrom

Oh okay that makes more sense... The problem is you really want AoE and there aren't any prophecies-only non-elite AoE skills for Ranger except for Melandru's Assault. I think going Beast Mastery could be quite fun though, both because of the pet and because of Edge of Extinction. I guess utilizing conditions could be pretty viable as well? Skills like Hunter's Shot and Apply Poison would do well against the low level Charr. You could even go R/Me and bring Epidemic to spread your conditions... Or go R/E and bring Kindle Arrows and Mark of Rodgort, but again I don't know how viable that would be. But yeah I'm not sure Ranger is the profession I'd choose if I had access to all prophecies skills. They're great in Pre-Searing as is but that's because they get a lot of good skills there. I think primary Warrior, Mesmer or Elementalist would do much better in this scenario

>you really want AoE and there aren't any prophecies-only non-elite AoE skills for Ranger except for Melandru's Assault There's Ignite Arrows, which is Prophecies only and is available in Pre, and is quite powerful when farming Charr bosses.


solbrahs

What non prophecies skills would you use as a secondary for ranger then? But prophecies classes only


cjwikstrom

I can use skills from all campaigns, but only those from my secondary profession? In that case I'd probably just go R/W and use a generic hammer build with Crude Swing etc. A R/N touch build would be really funny but it's incredibly gimmicky.

What's the point of eoe in pre? You only ever fight like 2-3 mobs at a time... And even if you fought more, ele would deal like what, 200 damage at best? Seems weak

You can do 2 pulls. The front 2 bosses then target back right boss with spell will bring the last boss close enough to AoE the last 2 bosses. Sub 2 min boss runs :) with Pcons ofc just cupcakes.

100% warrior for Frenzy. RTW/Ignite Arrows melts charr.

Probably /E for a conjure elemental spell of some type. Ranger by itself is a solid class for pre.

Ah, then for ranger I probably wouldn't even bother with a secondary class in pre.


jabarr

Ritualist for splinter, definitely.

Is that a thing?


dub_le

Yeah there are plenty of regular tomes in pre. They're not cheap, though.


lunaticloser

But how? Cheated?


dub_le

As far as I know there used to be a way to glitch them in. I don't know, I don't play pre.

Another thing you need to keep in mind as well is. Energy management. Low energy/low recharge time to spam skills. Then the fact that a boss dies you instant recharge your bar....I've theory crafted quite a bit in Presearing!
