    I am sorry to say that if most of time you died more than 25% of your number of kills, there is something wrong with your setup.

    I have this all the time. Trying to kill everyone and carry the flag... I hate the match up. And the worst thing is they team up 5 tanks with 5 mages

    Nothing is wrong with my setup. I had 0 deaths ... 1 player left the group early ... we couldn't get past the bridge in the second map so I was taking all of the opponent team on me so the rest of the team can build the first base. Unfortunately they were not smart enough and kept running forward and die instead of building a base. So yeah ... I died 11 times at that spot because the team was not playing attune. Should they built a base ... we would have won and I would have had 0-2 deaths.
    There you go ... your 25% "rule" :D

    So yes ... my PVE build is working in the arena ... so would Apocal's.

    my normal build i use for bother people on swerf and also for pve. but it's boring being that strong.

    Just curious... why mggotina boots and not trace of darkness?, It should be a 15% crit boost vs 7.5% and 15% run speed vs 12% and more armor...

    Because i switched from Heart of Darkness to Sigrismarr's Ward (getting 20% damage) ... i need to compensate the lower armor and the loss of crit.

    But trace of darkness has higher armor, crit and run speed than magotina's boots, sorry i still miss the point about not changing magotina's boots for trace of darkness :oops:

    Giuditta's PvP stats. Waiting Christmas event gems and maximum wolf event stones to add one last crit dmg in the belt (going to take a while of course) and pass 10k hp... Also offensive gems and Jester's one need a little upgrade (armor especially), but that's a long way to go.

    I've even tested Heredur helm a lot, can boost crit dmg or crit hit, but full Dragan seems the best way to go for rangers atm for conc and a little life to distribute on wisdom for different matchups; also tried to keep Q1 boots, but they are simply too slow...



    PS: video is a little plain (no intro, no music) sry about that xD Enjoy!

    That's very balanced stats for PVP and PVE (SOLO), i also use Dragan set because it gives extra concentration and good defense.

    PW + Bosses fatal farm Setup. 10 Points into "Symbol of nature", the extra conc makes farming a lot more comfortable (and more efficient) than hp or speed would.

    No man magotina's boots have higher armor
    http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Trace_of_Darkness
    http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Magotina's_Dusky_Boots

    Because it is "overkill". I have 80% crit with both of them ...
    [​IMG]

    With magotina's boots little less but still 80% ... and i am getting slightly more armor.
    The real reason i switched them because of the set bonus 200 crit.
    I am planning to upgrade my belt with one crit damage line instead of the current crit hit line.
    If I do that and wear Trace of Darkness I get 15% crit hit from the bonus ... and 15% of 0 is 0.
    While with magotina's boots i am getting 7.5% crit hit + 200 crit hit from the bonus ... those 200 will replace my belt's crit line. (+ i am counting on the new concentrated solstice crystal from the upcoming winter event)

    This is my character. I started DSO with this guy 3 years ago. He's had the worst luck in finding good gear, though. I don't play as often as others, so that's why he's the level he is. I've tried to build him as a Ranger-Tank that can wield a fast-shooting longbow, but feel like I failed in that regard. Recently I have been playing around with glyph upgrades on different pieces of armor, trying to give him an update. With the gear below, he feels sluggish and underpowered, even though he does fine most of the time.

    There is only one option to play a tank char: when your toon is a dk and you are needed in a group.
    For solo play it is not efficient to focus on tank stats. Better try going for more crit, crit dmg and dmg. Use a quiver and another bow and mobs will die much faster. and most importantly: reach lvl 50 and start farming q1 on easy mode for glyphs/item progression. Seeing your char getting stronger and killing mobs faster will give the most fun and satisfaction ;) tank builds however will end in frustration.

    3 years ago a tank ranger was a viable option. That all ended when the cap was raised to lvl 50. The best you can hope for these days requires Black Warlord set. Even then I still use quiver with it most of the time. Still it is fun sometimes, with the right group mix, to switch to buckler and get down and dirty with the mobs :D

    Luck be with ye,
    Mikey,
