Ranger Guide – Assassin Spec

Posted by admin
/ May 17, 2011 / 22 Comments

Thank you Redfencer56 for this guide.

Ranger with assassin spec is pretty decent soloing job at low levels. The first points I got I invested into sneak. Now having come from the background of playing final fantasy online for a number of years we didnt have the split in the jobs/classes like wow or this game since it is modeled after wow.

I saw under the sneak ability that once you start investing points into assassin/ranger you stun the mobs on your first attack. This creates a neat opportunity when standing at max attack range. You get between 3-4 shots in before the mob closes to within melee range. This happens because of the stun affect. The mob is stationary for a few seconds suffering from stun. Not only is this useful now but should gameloft introduce instances in future updates, you could, by using sneak => ranged attack to give your tanks a chance to heal themselves and your healers to do the same. You could even cycle the stun affect to keep the bosses in lockdown. This would be a broken exploit if not patched. Would make instances terribly easy to fly through with just ranger assassins.

So… I cast toxicity on all three of my weapons (you can only cast it once per weapon). This lasts for 30 minutes. Now I’m not 100% sure if it’s only good on one weapon or if it is indeed applied to all three. I tested this out to see with casting on just one weapon and found that the proc rate was less as in not always did it proc in each encounter. When I had it applied to all three i found that if it didn’t land on the first shot it proc’d on either the second, third or when my character meleed if the mob got close enough.

    ” The first points I got I invested into sneak.”
    I dont see a sneak ability under Talents

    • Airshade

      the very first skill i got (just bought it :P ) with my ranger was that sneak ability :)

      • Andrew T

        Ah I maybe mistaken but I think that’s a spell not a talent. That’s what had me confused because advancing the sneak ability would be cool though it seems its a few points in to the Assassin tree before you can add to it.

        Here’s a link to the talent Calculator which is where I am referring to:

          Agility gear gives you attack power + Crit, so agility is always the best option. Attack power versus agility can be worked out thus 2ap = 1 agility. So most gear of a similar level will have (for example) 20 attack on one weapon, OR 10 agility on another. The agility weapon/gear will give you the same attack power as the attack option but will also increase your critical chance.

          If agility gear is not available then attack power gear is a great alternative, but if you have a choice – choose agility. For a ranger in particular, crit is very important. Upping your crit through crit and agility gear will make a very noticeable difference.

          • Hateful

            In wow it’s true. But have you done any test to figure if game mechanic is the same ?

            And with your calculations, how much 1 strengh affects ap ?

  • Piddlepoo

    You can’t sneak while in combat, so forget your stunlock theory for bosses. There is however a smokebomb at later levels that will give you 15 seconds of stealth. The cooldown on that is fairly long so you can’t exploit that skill. It’s probably better to use archery for solo in early levels and respec to full assassin (for 10 gold) at end game when dungeons become available. Also, you’ll probably fare well in PvP as an assassin spec given the options for silence and blink. Just my thoughts.

    Peace!

      thanks those are great insights!

      hey when you sneak is there any way someone could see you?
      reason im asking is if I fight another ranger and we both stealth
      it will be pretty mutch first out of sneak lose.. lol
      just wonder if there is any way to accualy sneek around and find him

      • CursedSoul

        The only way to see a other ranger using sneak is if your on the same team… So if you are fighting another ranger it will be very boring… Also because I THINK (I’m not completely sure) that at lvl 60 rangers can stealth forever.

        • seong123

          They cant sneak forever. They can recast it as soon as the duration of sneak is over though.

  • Node8651

    I can’t figure out if it is better to go for agility gear or attack power gear. Thoughts?

    • Lily

      I actually have the same question.

    • Roarninja

      I go for a mix between the two my staminas is75 and my strength is 54nand my agility is 161

    • TeddyBear

      it depends if ur asssassin or whatever the other class is Assassin gear would be attack power and agility would be for other those are my thoughts

  • Nocturnalorchid

    just a hint for the poison on your weapons:

    if you go to your character-equipment view, tap the weapon, then scroll down, you’ll see how much time the individual weapon has left with the toxic.

  • Roarninja

    what a good tactic is to use paralizing toxicity on your bow or crossbow and use acute toxicity on meele wepons one thing i do for mages is use sneak then use cut throat (deals damage over time and stops target from casting spells) then hit them with pin feet (stops target from moving) then kill them untill one runs out.

    We would love you to write one and submit it to us :)

  • CursedSoul

    Some things I feel I should say: firstly, if you are an assassin pure, you want to use sneak and then SHADOW STRIKE and while they are stunned then use dagger stab twice. Dagger stab is ESSENTIAL for assassin pures. Also your theory of repeat stunning the bosses is full of holes. One of which somebody has already said, sneak can only be used outside of combat and smoke bomb has a minute cool down. But that doesn’t matter because the harder bosses and the bosses in dungeons CAN’T BE STUNNED. Assassins are gods at PVP, with sneak and smoke bomb. Sometimes, when you enter a PVP zone, for every player you see, there are 3 rangers that you don’t see…

  • Kaiqizheng98

    Lame shit….assassins gets close and use dagger stab to make stuns useful.

    • seong123
