[CGoodness]

One of my characters in RAcaseal and she's awesome.

[polishedweasel]

I picked the RAmarl just because she's got higher ATA than every other character except the RAmar and she's better with support than anyone else. WIth the exception of Forces.

[Whatley]

I have played all the ranger characters. Out of them all I like the RAcast the most.

[BeatZero]

RAmarl

[mightyJoeDunn]

RAcast is so fun to use.

[Gray4]

Ramarl all the way.. Lvl 20 S/D/J/Z, nuff said...

[DUNKO1]

Ramar, king of all sharpshooters http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[brillyfresh]

RAmarl ... she's a big girl, meaning she can take care of herself in higher levels, thanks to level 20 S/D/J/Z

[Chronos]

I liked RAcast the best on the DC but never tried the new rangers.

[RuneScapeMan]

RAcast is the best ALL THE WAY!
All the rangers are too weak...
I got a level 116 RAmar and 136 RAcast..
My RAmar sux!!!!!!!
Only level 15 resta!?!?!?
And he still gets killed in one shot by dal ra lie's tentacles!
And he does like no damage at all!!!
And why do you pick RAmar at all?
Cuz he's got techs!
But tell me, how good is resta level 15 when you got 1200 hp like my RAcast?
And he doesnt even get a single killer-shot!
And he can get poisoned and paralyzed to...
And you do know that traps can be your best friend in ultimate?
Ehh... im not saying that ppl with RAmar and RAmarl are n00bs... Im just saying that RAcast is my favourite =)
Bu i do like whn they use shifta deband http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[Ropponmatsu]

My main char is a RAcaseal and I'm quite satisfied.

No one that high should ever get killled by Da RAl Lie... at all. Maybe you're doing something wrong. I'll explain to you a few things... yes traps are good but who cares when you got your max ATA and a Snow Queen? Confusing enemies isn't all that great... No resta means that you'll be struggling through Dark Falz in ultimate...Ive had play experience with every character except the FOmar...so you can take me as a reliable source.

Let me ask you something: Has your RAcast beaten Dark falz alone yet? Offline of course. And at what lv? Also, that "little" lv 15 resta can save your ass when you ain't got any mates left... I use a RAmarl, and most people sould agree that she is one of the best people in the game...FOmar and her are kinda neck and neck...

Now I gotta teach you a little more...
I have almost killed dark falz in ultimate yes...
But my guld milla is even more powerful than resta!!!
I hit him once, and get 360 hp!
Now what have you to say about that?
And the reason cuz my RAmar dies against dal ra lie is I have only played multi with him!
And dal ra lie's attack are more powerful in multi...
But anyway, if he survives. He get easely killed by his "beam", cuz if he gets hit, he must use TWO restas to survive another one(in multi of course)!
And RAmars ata is not THAT much higher!
If you think like this:
RAcst's atp,dfp and hp is almost double RAmar's!

[RuneScapeMan]

Oh, and RAmar need alot higher level(cuz he needs to survive the swipe attack and then he must use two restas...

[polishedweasel]

Yes yes yes... I have those all too powerful duped GULD MILLA's myself...They're very useful if you are a droid... I prefer to have all the support techs though..I know you understand. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Vitamin_D]

I hate my RAmarl...I have a low level RAcast, and I'm having more fun with him.

[Asami]

I suppose it comes down to one's play style. If you're depend on others for SD and healing, go with the droids, RAcast for powerful, or RAcaseal for looks and defense. However, if you like to play indenpendently and like to help others, the humans are the way to go, especially the RAmarl, my favorite.

I have a lv199 RAmarl, she is welcome in any game. If no FOs are in the game, no problem, she can SDJZ, resta for a sizable amount of HP, freeze enemies, and kill any enemy with one combo...

My vote is for RAmarl.

[RuneScapeMan]

Ok then, I'll do just as well with guld milla as a gush vulcan...
And do you mean that you don't use duped weapons?

[Asami]

Every item I have is found or bought. Yes, I don't use dupes...

[RuneScapeMan]

Or we can sove this like this:

I don't hate RAmarl at all, I wish I took her instead of RAmar...
But the only ral differense is that RAcast get killer-shot(especialy when he uses mechguns).
But RAmarl is the better choice in single player cuz she gets stronger with S&D...
But in online and multi, RAcast will also get S&D...
You know what that means http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif...
Anyway, my mag knows mylla&youlla, and because I cause some serious damage, i get photon blast pretty fast. So when i get mylla&youlla, I killa all the enemys in ruins in like one combo. But RAmarl sure can get mylla&youlla to, but she can use level 20 S&D to... And another reason why i like androids is just cuz they don't need to care about mind on the mags or anything... But I guess that that's a small reason...

Now there...

[Asami]

Once again, it comes down to one's play style, if all you want to do is cause as much damage to the enemies instead of helping teammates in need, droids are the way to go. However, if you want to keep your teammates alive and fighting, humans are the better.


With a charge vulcan, my RAmarl kills most enemies with one combo. Killing enemies fast is not an issue.

With the twins pb on a mag, it makes offline easier for droids. Online on the other hand makes the twins only useful for pb combos. If any player uses the twins in an online game intentionally, that calls for a "noob" icon...

[Elusive_Llama]

I have a level 155 Ramarl with maxed ATP, ATA and Luck. I strongly believe that Ramarls are the best rangers, although the term 'best' does not necessarily mean 'most powerful'. A Racast will outpower a Ramarl, given the same shifta, but take away the Force support and watch him struggle. Do the same to a Ramarl, and she'll simply cast her own spells. Ever tried taking on Ultimate Ruins solo, online mode? It's painful without SDJZ.

Besides, like Asami said, power isn't really an issue with Rangers. They have high ATA, and given charge vulcans with good hit %s, they can dish out tremendous damage with hard-special-special combos. Ramarls are not as powerful as Racasts, but they're not weak.

Umm...
As I said, im not saying RAmarl is a noob or something...
And isn't killing the monsters a help?
Maybe if your friend is stuck or something, i find it useful to kill the monsters very fast. I've got stuck very often and then some people come there trying to help with a varista...
So I do think that killing enemys fast is a very good help...
And i do like that humans and newmans use resta on me, but in the same time. I may help alot in boss fights agains tough bosses such as vol opt and dark falz... And by healing me, I can stay alive and do even more damage...
Now that's also helping! And why do you help people when you give them S&D? Yes that's right! Cuz they can survive and kill the enemys faster! and that's just what I am doing as an android! i have much def to survive and I have much atp to kill the enemys fast, just like when you give them S&D!

[RuneScapeMan]

Oh and one more important thing...
USING THE TWINS IN ONLINE MODE DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOUR A NOOB!
CUZ YOU DO KNOW THAT IF SOMEONE USES IT, THE OTHER PLAYERS CAN PRESS Y(ON THE GAMECUBE) TO OFFER SOME PB TO THE TEAM MATE! BY DOING THAT, ALL THE PLAYERS WHO OFFERS SOME PB WILL ALSO GET MYLLA&YOULLAS EFFECT!!! PLUS THAT THE SHIFTA DEBAND WILL BE EVEN MORE POWERFUL FOR ALL THE PLAYERS!

[DUNKO1]

ummmm, I've had zero problems against dal ral lie with my ramar between lvls 115 till where i am now.
mabey it's jsut a difference in shields or something though (mabey I'm just a lucky sob)

Yeah but I was talking about multi mode...
His attacks are alot more powerful there tough...
And because RAmar isn't my main char, he hasn't got any good shield, armour tough...
I guess that that's the reason...

[DUNKO1]

I was talking multi too but the shield difference is probly it, being my main my character probly gets lots more mats too

[RuneScapeMan]

Oh yeah!
Cuz i ONLY played my RAmar in multi...
and not just me and him but also a Humar!
So we three share the mats...
Meaning that he get three times less mats than you...

[polishedweasel]

OK man..it's time to stop whining about your robot...

Droids are physically stronger because they don't have support techniques

Humans are weaker physically because they have that ability to use techs

The Human Rangers have higher ATA than the Droid Rangers

The Droids have traps

RAcasts are the most annoying character when trying to play on surround sound (thud thud thud thud)

They all have their strengths and weaknesses..

Ramarls just happen to be the best of the rangers because they can hold their own. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[NekoHikari]

You realize that since Ramarls get an extra 100 materials over the Racast that they can be just as strong, right? Who needs traps on a Ranger anyway when you have Frozen Shooter or Snow Queen? Traps become pointless then. At that point, having a lvl 20 Resta, Shifta, Deband, Jellen, and Zalure means that the Ramarl blows the Racast away by a considerable margin.

[RuneScapeMan]

Well, I have never losed in battle mode...
And it's stupid thinking "Im not going to chose RAcast cuz he's annoying when he walks..."
Right? And as I and you said, androids don't have techs cuz they are stronger and humans/newmans have techs cuz they are weaker! But im still saying that RAmarl might be better in single cuz she knows J&Z!
But in online, RAcast will also get shifta&deband(cuz you say that that counts as helping people) and then RAcast still is stronger right?

Hey as I said, RAcast gets photon blast faster right?
And if the mag knows mylla&youlla, he will get a level 30 S&D right?
And while he's having S&D, he will get photon blast even faster right?
So he kinda knows shifta deband to...
And this thing with RAmarl can use 100 more mats, think about it!

1: RAcast doesn't NEED that many mats to get strong
2: Only on level 100, I had used up all my mats so I could spare some(give to my other chars, thats helping. And trading away for rares)
3: Oh, and RAmarl needs mind mats. and RAcast don't!
That's why RAmarl can use more mats! Just cuz she's got mst!

[RuneScapeMan]

Oh, and humans need to bring sol atomizers and antiparalyze...
Altough thats a small reason why they aren't my favourites. Here's some reasons why resta sux.

1: If you cast resta in tha middle of a room with enemys, your char must, stop, pose and then go back and fight!
2: But while doing this, the enemys get a chance to come closer and. SMACK! your down on th floor...
3: And one reason why my RAmar dies all the time is cuz i know that it's stupid casting resta in a room full of enemys. So sometimes when I got yellow health and try to get out of the room and use resta... SMACK! and im dead...

[AppieDPC]

Lv20 techs. Gr8 support when a Force is not in the game. Holdin ur handgun sideways! Very important http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
(Equips his Yasminkov 2000 or Ruby Bullet http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
Ramarl with lv20 deband gives better def then a Racaseal or Racast. SHifta20 compensates her lower atp. And most important she has can take a lot of beatin (meaning get hit but not dead) thx 2 her resta. As a droid u would need the Hp gun (2 much trouble if u ask me lol)
Ramar sux he has techs but no J&Z so sucks at support if u want techs at least go with some1 that can do techs: Ramarl (1000+mst fekkin nice)

[Ran-neko]

Ramarls do not NEED to eat mind mats, nor do they have to get mind on their mags. There is simply no need when you're not spamming attack techs like a Force, and MST does not affect S/D/J/Z power.

Resta is better than mates because it is basically unlimited health and it heals your team mates. So what if you do a pose before going back to fight? Just don't use resta when you're in the middle of a group of monsters.

And it's not like my Ramarl has no need of mates...I find them very useful when I need to heal on the run from a pack of Arlans. Androids are limited to items and hp steal weapons, that's it.

[Logical2u]

Ramar is darn good. They are especially good when the weapon has a special (Arrest/Freeze). My Ramar, Also my main character, on Vhard does Justy's special twice out of every combo of three.
NOTE! BEST RANGER COMBO IS:
Hard
Hard
Special

there, now everyone knows my secret.

Now heres a smart RAmarl!
Yo not need to eat mind mats indeed!
And I know, reasta heals your team mates. But so does star atomizer =)
Im gonna "leave" this thread now...
And my final word is:

RAcast:Online, multi champion!
RAmarl:The absolute choice in single!

[Neverwinter]

GO RAcaseal GO! Defense + a cool look = best ranger.
Well there is also lots of other things like traps, good ATA and exellent DFP of corse. (It;s my opinion so dont blow if yout totally dont agree ok)

[Vantamiath]

Ive done hard attacks for every attack since level 1 with my RAmar.

He hasn't missed yet.
