Ranger build priorities
Use this as a practical starting point for the Build Planner above. The text is original and the skill counts come from the local indexed database.
Gear priority
Start with a strong bow and the highest item-level armor you can use, then tune sub-stats around Attack, Critical, Accuracy.
Party role
Ranger should keep uptime high and save burst/control windows for priority targets instead of wasting cooldowns into downtime.
