The Ranger is an excellent solo class, if you play to Dark And Darker Gold your advantages. At the beginning, youll probably find killing Goblins in the Goblin Cave mode a bit tricky as they will eat multiple arrows. However, with a few bits of gear, and importantly, a Spear, youll make short work of these while taking very little damage.
Youll also find PvP a blast with the Ranger, especially when youre only going against one other player. Hit your headshots and players HP will disappear. The only other class in the game that can catch up to you is a Rogue, or a Wizard with Haste, a Fighter with Sprint, or a Berserker.
Heres a look at what a max level Ranger build might look like. This build is specifically built around the bow, but there are other variations for the Crossbow and the Spear, which is one of the best melee weapons in the game.
Weve opted to keep Field Ration around as our top ability pick as that health regen can be really powerful - however, if you are running in a group with a Cleric you might want to change this out for one of the other abilities, like Multishot. Weve also kept Quick Shot because its honestly just broken.
In terms of perks, weve gone for Nimble Hands, Sharpshooter, Kinesthesia, and Enhanced Hearing. Heres our reasoning for picking each of these perks.
Nimble Hands - Faster reload animation, essentially. Great for getting a lot of damage out of your bow quickly and useful in both PvE and PvP. Sharpshooter - Extra headshot damage shouldnt be sniffed at - its one of buy Dark And Darker Gold the deadliest things in the game, as long as you hit your shots.
