Ranger Archive

Btw I am not 'bitter' about this, it just doesn't make sense to solo a krayt. Get a decent group together (several speedcapped riflemen able to spam adv. strafe every second are a 'must have', also if one of them is CM it's a good help, poison and disease on all pools increases the chance to get lootrights too. One Ranger in the group might help as well, but the very hilly terrain around the graveyard isn't the perfect terrain for areatrack), let them ALL scout around and rush to the found krayt asap, hit it like mad and hope not to get outdamaged by the kind of groups described above :-).

It helps if the group is a group of people you can trust, members of your PA or otherwise close friends, it's not nice to get into debates about how to distribute the loot (in my case, it's easy: it all goes to the "PA" and will be distributed based on need and activity in PA-specific things, our WS makes weapons from the tissues that get distributed this way and our people with a fscs get a shot at the looted pearls based on their 'contribution' to the greater good of the PA :-). Based on this I got a really nice krayted disruptor rifle with a decent damageslice, my luck usually makes me end up with speedslices on loot made weapons ).

The only thing that helps with Krayts is lots of good buffs,and great armor. Then a good damage dealing weapon so it doesn't take to long.

Good defence help of course, but you will want to be able to heal some. So have some medic or someone doing it for you.

Traps don't work on them, so don't worry. Having Areatrack for animals is useful for finding them.

Ranged tend to have a better time of it, melee tend to get beat up a lot.

Whats the name of the rilfe that does cold damage??

SG82 iirc.

Don't bother with it. It's so bad that you will do better with a t21 there even IF the resists of a krayt against cold are comparable low.

Rifles to use against Krayts: T21 and T21 and if you run into a juvenile, the dxr-6b.

Ok, So I hear that some future publish will make it so that you can't stack defenses with other professions ie.. the defenses for Fencer will be useless when I'm using a Rifle. The only time the fencer defenses will be usefull is if I'm actually using a blade. Is this true??? Sounds like they want to nerf Dabblers and have people focus more on an actual profession.

If it is true then here is my new template:

Ranger : 2/0/4/0

Riflemen: Master

Medic: 4/4/3/0

So starts the long grind.....

From my knowledge this is already in some ways implemented, not for melee-defense or ranged-defense, but for things like dodge (fencer and pistoleer dodge doesn't stack).

But I guess with detailed questions about templating and min/maxing you should try another place ... not many here than min/max, after all we are members of a profession with questionable benefits .

My personal 'template' can be seen in my sig btw, the changes I made were solely based on better help on krayt hunts and such.

I picked up master marks to master rifleman for the extra speed (added here +4 riflespeed from an armorattachment) to get the ability to spam adv. strafe every second. Master Marks is history tho, I got another riflespeed sea making me able to drop master marks without losing this 'ability' and, as stated already, work on the way back to master ranger (all I need is the raw damageoutput of a damagesliced t21 at the speedcap with adv. strafe, I see no point in soloing krayts, reasons in my older postings)
