What RAs for Druid and Ranger for i50 ?

Ok, we get R5L9 with our i50s. I need some help deciding what RAs to get for the Drood and Ranger I plan on making. Obviously, Purge and LW1 for both.

On Ranger, so far I have come up with Augmented Dexterity 3, Mastery of Archery 5, Falcon's Eye 5, LW 1, and Purge. This leaves me 14 points. Should I spend them all to get Ignore Pain ? What about Long Shot, Volley, Avoidance of Magic, and Aug Str/Con/Qui ?

On Druid, I came up with LW1, Purge, Group Purge, and Raging Power (which includes MCL 2). That leaves me 5 points, to work toward either Battery of Life or MoC.

Any input would be appreciated....thanks !!!!!

You need 23 points to get ignore pain because first aid 1 and 2 are prerequisites.

I think you also want tireless 1 for perma-sprint, right?

Thanks for your reply.

You need a total of 5 end regen for perma-sprint. Under normal circumstances, most folks use an END 3 potion, so yes, you would need both LW 1 and Tireless 1. But the free Combined potion that they are giving us now (which I am assuming will continue for i50) includes END *4* regen, so only one of the two is needed.

Go Purge, Group Purge, Tireless 1 (no need for LW1), MCL2 (you don't come in many situations where RP is better, and power pots will keep you good for the time it takes to burn the MCL). Get Aug Acu 5 and dump in to MoA.

Getting LW over T1 has minimal changes, but T1 is a whole endurance regeneration while LW is endu reduction while sprinting leaving you at 4 endo reg. T1 + endu 4 will give you perma spring, and also 5 endu reg instead of 4.

EDIT: Explanation on Tireless vs LW

Are you wanting to be a melee roaming ranger, keep defense ranger, or little of both?

The RAs are quite different depending on how you plan on playing...

Normally I would say both, but since this is beta and respecs are free, I might try multiple builds and multiple roles. Thus, I would be interested in your thoughts on the two builds you mentioned, both RAs and skills.

Thanks !!!!!!!!!

For a Melee Ranger and choosing between Mastery of Pain and Dodger I would recommend Dodger, especially if you have an evade stun handy.
