Ranger Expertise

December 28th, 2006 by Eva

Expertise is the Ranger primary attribute.  By itself, it is a useful passive
attribute, reducing the costs of Ranger abilities.  However, Expertise does
NOT affect spells, hexes, or enchantments.  Expertise rounds to the nearest
integer, making for some very interesting breakpoints.  This can be tested by
extending your energy bar across the length of the screen and using skills […]

Rangers Attributes

December 28th, 2006 by Eva

————————–
- Beast Mastery (gwrg3a) -
————————–
Note: The words Pet and Animal Companion are used interchangeably in this guide
but the nomenclature used by Guild Wars is “Pet”, so I try to adhere to that
name as much as possible.  Though oddly enough, the skill descriptions say
“Animal Companion”.
This is the main attribute for Rangers who wish to focus on […]

Ranger

December 28th, 2006 by Eva

The Ranger… when most folks think of Rangers, they think of hardy woodland
warriors and hunters, a breed of men and women who brave the wilderness to test
their skills and instincts in the shadow of Mother Nature. Guild Wars Rangers
certainly fit this stereotype (and dispense with the “dual-wielding” scimitar
dancers found in certain Pen-and-Paper roleplaying games).  Rangers […]

Ranger/Monk

December 28th, 2006 by Eva

It is said that there is no such thing as a bad Monk combination in Guild Wars.
All classes benefit from the healing capabilities of the Monk class as a
secondary.  The ability to Resurrect your allies more than one time in a
mission (the main limitation of the Signet) and adding supplemental healing to
the Ranger’s already burgeoning […]

Ranger/Necromancer

December 28th, 2006 by Eva

At first glance, the Necromancer and Ranger class may seem like an odd
combination.  The Soul Reaping Primary Attribute of a necromancer would have
been useful (natch), but there are still several ways one can combine Ranger
and Necromancer skills.
“Defensive” Cursing
===================
The three curses that come to mind when thinking about the Necromancer are
Enfeeble, Faintheartedness, and Price of Failure.  […]

ATTRIBUTES OF THE NECROMANCER

December 28th, 2006 by Eva

Soul Reaping-  This is the necromancer’s primary attribute.  This is one of the
only differences between having necromancer as a primary versus as a secondary.
Soul Reaping does not have any related skills that improve based on the
attributes invested in it.  Instead, Soul Reaping restores your energy one
point for every attribute rank you have in it every […]

Ranger/Mesmer

December 28th, 2006 by Eva

Ranger-Mesmers have a pretty cool deal, as the Fast Casting primary attribute
of the Mesmer class is not nearly as useful as Expertise (or other Primary
attributes, for that matter) and while a Ranger-Mesmer may run into more Energy
problems than a Primary Mesmer, by careful selection of spells a Ranger can
often retain all of his/her Ranger skills […]
