User talk:Baron Will Scarlett

Thanks for the support...I have been evolving it more each day...I have been looking into some other skills..Like Spell Braker to replace Escape...and dropping Troll Unguent(Healing Breeze works better)

The more elite runs, I have not tried yet...I am in the process of running the desert..and right now am 50/50 here.

I have not seen or heard of a Ranger Droks runner YET....I plan on working on this till I perfect a Build that can run any area with atleast a 70% sucess rate...right now..ASC to SC is 100%..I have made the run MANY times and have only died 4 times total(not counting TEST runs) and those were cause of a noob deciding to follow and keep aggro on me..lol

I placed the 'build' here to help out newer players with a Ranger Runner....I have a Droks W/Mo..I got bored doing that run(+ I can make more faster doing LA to SC).

Once again..thx for tips and if you have any sussgestions on a Better Build..I am all ears.

My IGN is-Catti Fyre=ranger(or check out the [OOBW] site and drop me a msg,Deadlyknights on there)...maybe we can perfect this build sometime and show them that you don't have to be a 'elite' to be good.Deadlyknights 17:50, 17 September 2006 (CDT)


 * You haven't heard of a ranger Droks runner!?!? Hello, what about us, the Running Rangers? One of our members can even do it with 100% completion rate on a ritualist. ;) --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 15:21, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
 * And please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes: . --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 15:22, 17 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Hey Gem,I never thought I would get a message from you on my talk page, nonetheless about this. We are referring to the discussion on the build R/Mo Speed Ranger and the unsigned comment was from Deadlyknights. We are going back and forth on eachother's talk pages and I have never heard of RRA before. That is a great source! Baron Will Scarlett 15:31, 17 September 2006 (CDT)


 * :) I know whos the message was, but signing is still a thing that should be done. Remember, most of us regular contributors don't think of ourselves as any kind of 'elite' who are above other less active or newer users. Atleast I don't think i'm anyhow better than you guys. :) And what comes to RR and the soon to be formed RRA (Running Rangers Academy), I recommend to read through the website if you'r interested and apply for RR/RRA if you think that you would fit in. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 15:41, 17 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I do think I would fit in very well, seeing as that I already use my ranger to run anybody in my alliance anywhere they want (except droks dangit). Although I do not think that I would like paying to become a part of RR. I would love some advice for running, but i do not like charging that much for runs - if i have to charge anything at all. I am a kind spirit and Gold doesnt really matter to me since it is so easy to get. I may have an interest in RR later along the timeline, but as for now I dink around. My motto for now is "Help others". I wouldnt mind paying for a guide on running droks or certain missions, so keep me posted. Baron Will Scarlett 16:29, 17 September 2006 (CDT)


 * PS - I am an American in Oregon, so i have west coast time. If you seriously need more American runners for RR I will look into it. And I'm sure Deadlykinghts is interested, though I'm not sure where he is located.

As for the [RRA]...I can't join in here..as I am one of the major officers in my Guild and plus this a a GUILD that spans many games(PC & PS2)...I am on the EAST COAST in Canada..and am willing to help in any way I can.I also use my runner for my Guildies(but when doing runs for them, I do spam for Cash runs)Deadlyknights 17:53, 17 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Info for both of you: Joining RR only costs you a small fee to take the tests. If you pass the tests you can join. You don't need to join our guild to be part of the running group, the guild is just an additional posibility. Ofcourse if you don't lie taking payment, RR is not really suitable for you, because our runners should keep with the prices on the website. All RR are really friendly people thou, and the prices aren't always that strict if the customer is nice and so on. Currently we only have 1-2 american runners and one australian one, so we definitely need more.
 * You both also seem to have understood something wrong. RR = Running Rangers, the running group and the guild. RRA= Running Rangers Academy, a runner school being formed soon. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] (talk) 02:18, 18 September 2006 (CDT)

My IGN veries..but mostly I use Catti Fyre..and I will look abit more into the [RR]...still lost with a R/W droks runner..cant seem to get the skills right...any ideas?Deadlyknights 05:41, 18 September 2006 (CDT)

55 UW Build
I like how you think. Unfortunately, I see a small problem. All the AoE damage - even without breaking agro - might not be enough to overcome the health regen of an aatxe. I tried it with just Zealot's Fire at one point and it sucked. But I dunno, maybe it'll work with the extra power.

For the attributes, put more in the necro ones and less in the monk ones. But be sure you have at least 10 regen for the standard 55 - with bleeding that's only 7, and remember that you need to overcome the damage from dark aura as well. And for that reason, I'd suggest putting Watchful Spirit or Mending in the SoA version. (By the way, the SoA 55 is still considered a normal 55/invincimonk/whatever :).) --Armond Warblade (talk) 09:53, 27 November 2006 (CST)


 * I finally tried it and it worked to some degree. About dark aura - Divine favor takes care of this issue, since it gives more health than Dark Aura could take away (5). And yeah, i recognize the technicalities of 55, invinci / whatever. But i still think of a 55 as being the original, and any others are either soa, sb, etc. to me. I seriously need just like 50 more attribute points...

Dark aura shells out shadow damage too, which is like holy in the fact that it is armor ignoring. If any skill could be left out it would be Zealot's fire since the fire damage is almost noting...but even just a few points in smite and this can add a little edge if you know what i mean.

 * i am getting tired of Anet...i tried a tainted flesh/ well of suffering combo and they run away from the degen! omg. this is seriously bugging me. they nerfed the killing of more than one non-boss enemy at a time, but kept the soloing of bosses (sliver armor). not fair. not at all. Baron Will Scarlett [[Image:Baron.JPG|25px]] 22:02, 27 November 2006 (CST)


 * Me, I would go for 10 regen from breeze and mending, and then maximize my damage from dark aura, with zealot's as an afterthought. That means you need 6 + 3 healing. Also, the damage from zealot's, being negligible, isn't worth boosting with a smiting headpiece. I would go for a favor one, or maybe a healing. Favor would be preferable because we want the enchantments to last as long as possible. I would say at the very least no less than 4+4+1 favor - preferably more. That takes up 31 attrib points. Maybe 7+3 in prot, that takes up another 28 bringing us up to 59. Split the remaining 141 among blood and death - realize that at most we're going to get 17*1.2*1.25=25.5 seconds of dark aura activation at this point if we put in 12 blood... Not bad... Try it with 9 blood and (let's see... used another 48... Damn, 93 left) 11 death, throw the remaining into smiting or maybe a bit more of prot. You can get 5+3 smiting (wee~) and then put in, I dunno, 1 curses :P Our tribute to SS.

Summary:

I really don't see how to do this with a SoA monk, the regen from Watchful Spirit really doesn't look like it can cover all the health you'll lose from Dark Aura and Cultist's Fervor. But that's just me. Try this out for me if you have the time - I'm nowhere near capping cultist's on my monk (or even getting him a necro secondary, honestly). If you kill dudes before cultist's runs out, loose some blood and throw some in prot (decreasing smiting if you have to). --Armond Warblade (talk) 00:26, 28 November 2006 (CST)


 * The SoA works much better because you need nothing in healing AND the fact that you dont take ANY damage from Dark Aura or Cultists fervor because of Prot Spirit and Divine favor (since you only deal damage whilst casting spells on yourself). It works nicely, but the damage output is lacking and I think the AI may be smarter than we both think... Baron Will Scarlett [[Image:Baron.JPG|25px]] 00:39, 28 November 2006 (CST)


 * ...The damage is dealt BEFORE the healing? That's awesome. I wouldn't have expected that. And the AI can be as smart as it wants, humans are always smarter. I'm gonna find a way to power myself into Luxon territory.

Still keeping Watchful Spirit because I hate having more than one degen on a 55, and bleeding is evil. --Armond Warblade (talk) 01:17, 28 November 2006 (CST)
