Hybrid Ranger Skill-Build (Str-Based).

[alfredmoney]

Hello! This is my skill-build guide for str-based hybrid rangers.

Lets Begin.
This build works great with PVE, but is also altered to be applied to PVP instances later on.
This guide will require 2 instances where Sands of Time is required, only because of the convience when leveling at earlier levels.
--However if you do not wish to do use such, (Which I strongly unadvise), Please refer to the to the Over-all skill levels (For a level 100 Scion) and add to each different skill in the same order as learned in the leveling guide.

***[If following this build post-rebirth, you have 12 extra skill points, you can either A) follow the build at an accelerated pace (Which may be difficult due to level requirements) or B) Add extra skill points to any earlier skills, since we will be using sands of times anyways, (To give a boost on attacks during earlier levels). However, whichever option you choose, always make sure you add to your rebirth skill, "Slither ~Nature~" Prior to all else.]***

Tho the only thing i could say yours should have is Ankle Shot! This skill is perfect to slow them run away knights and rogues in PvP.

[alfredmoney]

Guys, this is for strength-based Rangers whose main DPS is focused from the antimage side, the only thing nature-wise that makes this build hybrid, is the heals for the dungeons, and the traps for PVP...

Yeah its actually a pretty good build, I swaped my build to roughly something similar and im getting 2-3x more dps in Avernal and my dungeon runs are alot quicker.
Plus everyone hates me in Seng and GR
