Ty soo much ur combo explanations really upped her gameplay and potential for me, it's like night and day and exactly as you said she's flexible with how u wanna combo and approach buffing and damage
Great post. Thank you. I m returning and rolled Ranger at release. I love the class and ready to get back into it. My ranger is level 58 shit ap and dp.
Nice. Been thinking about trying out ranger, especially her awakening. I love high skill curling classes, and main sorc right now. Looking for a good tag to keep for a while, but want one with a similar style of dodge and catch, not trade grab.
Thank you for this gorgeous guide, Anfield!! As a 293 / 301 / 380 potential Awakening Ranger reroll, I have a question for you. I am really into the aesthetics of this class and I am looking for a class that I can become an undisputed 1v1 duelist with (of course there could be bad matchups, skill gap etc.). With the current state of Awk Ranger and further potential changes, do you see her staying as one of the top duelists? Thank you in advance!
Ranger excels at 1v1 at a high level, recent nerfs to her stamina were very harsh but it mostly effects larger fights like skirmishes. That said you can be limited against high pressure classes that don't let up meaning you can't get a moment to breathe. But all in all she remains a top duelist and doesn't fear much, with maybe hash and DK the most threatening
Eh it's not a classic pve class that people would normally choose exclusively for that. But it's capable just hard work. You can always tag for pve like many do
I want to level a ranger and archer this season, do you recommend one having a better low level experience? I'm gonna timepiece whichever I don't start on.
Hey Anfield, may I ask what you are using as magic crystals ? Also, why you run evasion if your class doesn't scales with passive skills. (let's not talk about the 20% evasion buff of the e-buff cuz it's very situational) I mean I'm good with my full DR gear to be a glasscanon, but to me you are one of the best Ranger player in the world so your opinion do count for me since I learned a lot from you.
I use a defensive set for my evasion which is pretty standard nothing too fancy or out there. Evasion works for anyone willing to apply enough of it, you'll never beat your striker mystic types and maybe one day PA will eliminate unfair tankiness randomly given to some classes. The evasion buff from the ebuff is actually not something you should dismiss it makes a massive difference. With awakening ranger you build defensive accessories at end game not just ap/accuracy. So even if you're DR (which is fine and more common) you're still building narcs and eventually cadry or maybe ronaros. No amount of AP will make you SA or FG trade favourably against other classes and since we're not fast we take a lot of hits trying to get the important CC catch.
How do you make it so after you use Regeneration + SHIFT-E that your character doesen't fly around? Mine just sends flying beause of SHIFT-E but yours stays still... how come?
This was before the change that mechanically altered spirit haven to do the mobility jump it does now. This is why I've begun new videos for awakening, the PvP ones are now in the works. But you can control it with mouse movement so you don't go really far. I'll cover this of course but videos take time and I've only refreshed the pve videos so far
@@gokaytufekci6636 we can 1 combo anyone that can't v if we're not interrupted but since our big dmg is locked in location forward guard it's often impossible to do it in a group fight on a CC target
@@Anfieldw yeah I realized that they were interrupted My combos everytime I could survived and kill em step by step sometimes i couldn't 😂 but all the way it was very fun to play this class.

@@illidari777 Archer is really good at most PvE, Awk Ranger excels at spots that specifically have tanky mobs and and tight groups (AoE is an issue) so Oluns and Gyfin she's really good. She is high APM though.
For end game PvP I use a dp focused set for my evasion, with harphias and hooms, special evasion but still running elkarrs and jin vipers. Any mix you feel comfortable with really, you could also consider jin hystria to help counter the recent stamina nerfs
bro hi i need to ask something. i'm also playing awa ranger so i'm confusing about which blackstar i need? i'll play pvx not only pvp so i'm gonna take bs but which bs? mainhand or awake first, idk which is more worth
@@Anfieldw got it thanks u so much man btw have you ever try suc ranger for pve? is it better than awake for mid tier spots? just for the grinding i love awakening pvp so much but it's a little bit tiring you know :D
Not hidden but evasion is only now becoming popular among other rangers and at the time I didnt want to mislead people that just blindly copy paste add-ons
@@Anfieldw With the new crystals in a purely defensive build do you think running the parrying dagger is enough if you want to be bit more survivable or is the full sicil centaur setup mandatory for evasion on ranger? My main is tamer and I've been running evasion for a while now and it works surprisingly well with just the evasion trinket. It's substantially more tanky than DR unless I'm against an accuracy meme and I generally have the AP to kill easily if I pick my targets. I actually just swapped to test DR with the caphra event up and within an hour I wanted to swap back lol.
@@EmpyreanDreamer Parrying is the standard build for ranger with a centaur. However i think the meta will shift to what ive been trying for sometime with kutum/bs instead. I will be continuing to pvp in my compendium videos and gearing will have it's own video.
I used to play with ranger in BDO console, now I will start BDO pc, should I chose ranger like my “first class”? Its a good choice? Or better chose one more powerfull in pve? (I love ranger)
Well crystals I run are PvP which are fine, there isn't a great deal of difference. Using a beast or frenzy can sustain you if you really need outside of having an infinite hp potion. You can run up absorb in the bow but I'm not sure I recommend this as necessary
Just use seasonal gear, pen tuvala at that level mate. If you want an indepth answer feel free to ask me on stream and we can look at your stuff in detail
@@zechpreller6369 nah you can't but 58 isn't hard and since we are early in this season it might be worth making a new ranger too take full advantage of seasonal advantages and the gear ofc
@@Anfieldw yeah someone told me to make a season charakter but i wanna hold my "main" he was my first character hehe maybe i found out what non seasonal gear is god and farm some silver with my seasonal dude haha
If you have high enough gear it works well, but it requires commitment to centaur and likely sicil at PEN. Our awakening buff gives a big Eva buff but that's the only natural source not from gear or add-ons. We will never be as good defensively as the classes that are given natural tankiness from PA. Alternatively since 99.99% of rangers run DR, you're starting to see high geared rangers with narcs and prot stones for awakening. Obviously succ you should always go full blast.
With Ranger buffed today I will include mouse movement again, but just like this guide explains, keep it behind you and you just ctrl -> lmb -> ctrl very quickly when inputting the skill
Hi. I just rr-ed to ranger. I know it can be found in the vid but can you help me by typing in the key inputs for a skill rot/s (PVE). It would probably be faster than to pause, rewatch and/or slowmo the vid. Thank you good sir! Awesome guide btw, I always watch your streams, too!
I don't run melee accuracy. I run ranged accuracy. I think you're likely confused over my tankier build which is melee evasion, this is to stack evasion against melee damage types.
@@--Nepenthe-- it absolutely can but bdo has no raids, it has some smol dunegons but that's not really what the game is about. Any reference to raids in bdo is PvP related which is what I thought you were asking
I only pve in BDO and I have tested out most classes. I like meele, unfortunately ranger in my opinion is one of the worst or even the worst meele class in pve. She does good damage but is combo-heavy, small aoe, squishy, relies a lot on pre-awakening skills. Zerker, one of my favorites, does everything much better than ranger in pve in any circumstances. That being said, a great ranger player can close the gap a bit if you enjoy the class.
If you ask me every class has way too much protection. But if you want honesty I think the SA on awakening ranger which deals no damage and doesn't give giga movement is a whole lot more balanced than most classes which do those things.
thanks for including me in the guide
Hey, what is that combo against the striker here 24:05? Is it the optimal combo? Can you write it here in buttons?
Started ranger recently and really enjoying it. Thanks Anfield for all the help and examples of class in action!
You're welcome! I started making new visa for ranger but have only covered pve so far due to updates I had to restart making guides
Was waiting for that, oh yeah ma'boy!

Awakening is better at 1v1 but at large scale succession ranger Vs archer can be a bit of a debate. Ranger is harder but could have higher rewards.
