One Shot, One Kill (A Comprehensive Ranger Guide/Discussion)

[escarlata]

Hi, got a Ra CAST I'm leveling and considering subclasses. I'm developing Ra/Br but after reading here it seems like the more popular choice is Ra/Hu. Can anyone help me on whether Ra/Br is still viable?

Ra/Br is definitely still viable but /Hu is far more useful, with MH and Automate making SC and EA much safer to use, and better damage on non-weak points, as well as uncharged attacks.
If you want to use bow, I would recommend going as Br/Ra instead because 13* bows are just that much better than bows that Ra main can use, even accounting Sharpshooter

Thank you for the insight. I feel like Ra/Br has been fun, but the banishing arrow -> final nemesis combo has felt lacking even with weak bullet in these lower levels. Do you know what a Ra/Hu build typically looks like? I'm well along into Ra/Br, but still have a reset pass somewhere..

Huge frickin' buff to Launcher for Rangers from an upcoming Left Ring.

【05】
[　リングスキル　]　・・・　ノンウィークボーナス - Non-weak bonus
[　スキルリング　]　・・・　L/ノンウィークボーナス - L/Non-weak bonus
[　装備スロット　]　・・・　Lリング (左手) - Left ring
[　装備可クラス　]　・・・　？？？
[　対応カテゴリ　]　・・・　ランチャー (大砲) - Launcher
[　スキル効果　]　・・・
→ 射撃武器の『大砲』を装備時のみ効果発動。
→ スキル『ウィークヒットアドバンス』を、弱点部位のほか『非弱点部位』にも適用。
→ こちらは『非弱点部位 → 弱点部位』として変化させる効果ではありません。
(非弱点部位が、弱点部位と同等のダメージ倍率に変化するワケではない)
→ スキル『Aランチャーモード』とは異なり、通常攻撃以外にも適用される。

To sum it up, this will only apply to Launchers. The Weak Hit Advance damage bonus will apply on parts that aren't considered weakpoints. You won't get a headshot damage bonus on a part that isn't a head, so you'll still have an incentive to aim at weak-points if there are any. Unlike A Launcher Mode's skill, this impacts PAs as well and not just normal attacks.

YEAH! RANGER MASTER RACE BITCH!

[morkie]

this is why i'll stay on ranger cause i believe there's a good buff on them

[Ziel]

• L / Non Weak Bonus

Available only to Launchers
The skill “Weak Hit Advance” will also apply to Non-Weak Areas.


As a launcher main i approve of this ring.

IS THIS THE NEW ERA OF LAWNCHAIRS?!

Probably not, it won't have full effect if its something like Bo DB break skill and no to RaBr so no guren master race if you want lawnchairs. Hu is still pigeonholed as a Ra sub due to no effective Ra defensive defensive skills, but who knows maybe they'll add something, the only info is on rings so far.

For people who are experienced with Ra/Hu using rifles, how useful is binding bullet? Is it worth putting points into power bullet + pp save bullet if I only use weak bullet?

Using this build I found for reference (http://arks-layer.com/skillsim/skill...00000lo000000j), please feel free to critique or suggest. With end attract and satellite cannon being my two main PAs, standing snipe has a lot of priority over moving snipe for me.
