Ranger Veteran/Builds


 * }

General Playstyle
As a range based utility career, Ranger Veteran should always put Special killing as your first priority. Then depends on your choice of range weapon, focus on Elites or Horde Mobs. However, due to your career’s feature and melee weapon choice, you should not hesitate to join the melee fight and give your safe position to other pure range careers when it’s necessary. When there is a Boss on the field, clear the roaming mobs around your range DPS, help other melee career deal with Specials. Damaging Boss should be the last thing on your priority list.

Recommended Melee Weapon Choice
Depending on your range weapon, Ranger Veteran should choose different melee weapons for different purposes.

Grudge-Raker build
https://www.ranaldsgift.com/4/123232/11,1,3,3/10,1,3,7/3,2,5/3,4,2/3,2,2

Description:

With Grudge-Raker build, you can one-shot all Skaven/Chaos Specials on the body at close range. You can also one-shot Mauler and Plague Monk/Savage on the body, but for Stormvermin/Bestigor you need two shots on the body or one with most of the pellets on their head.

Your Level 25 talent Firing Fury provides good reload speed. Combine with Level 10 talent Master of Improvisation, your high utility career skill will cool down way faster. Level 20 talent Grungni’s Cunning provides the best ammo sustainability in the row, helping with the range spam play style and other range careers.

Prioritize killing high density Horde Mobs, Elites and close range Specials first. Switch to melee when enemies get too close.
