EverQuest 2 Ranger Guide-Important Stats for Rangers

Publié le 25 avril 2010 par al

As a ranger your primary stat is strength. It affects damage from both your combat
abilities and your auto-attack damage. Your secondary stat is agility. This affects your
power pool, avoidance, and to-hit chance (for auto-attack only). Opinion varies on the
relative importance of these two stats, but in general I put strength at a higher level of
importance for two reasons. The first is that it has a greater effect on damage than agility
does. The second is that the effects of agility are subject to greater restrictions than that
of strength.
I consider stamina to be as important as agility because as I have mentioned, I think that
survivability (i.e. stamina/health, not so much mitigation) is very important for a melee
DPS class. Stamina increases your hitpoint total and more hitpoints mean you can
survive more hits when you gain agro in a group, and it means you have a better chance
of surviving riposte and AE damage when you’re raiding. I can’t count the number of
times I’ve seen scout guild-mates die to AEs or riposte damage during raids because
they’ve concentrated on increasing DPS above everything else, and have forgotten that
when they’re dead, they’re not doing any damage. When I parse raids, I almost always
parse higher than other predators and this is partly because I stand a better chance of
survival when I am taking damage.
In general, my philosophy has been to increase strength and intelligence whenever I can
(as long as I don’t lose a significant amount of hitpoints), and to increase stamina and
hitpoints as secondary considerations. I have not actively focused on increasing my
agility, but even so I find it easy to reach the cap.
Stats are capped at 7 x your level. Your stats can increase past this point but the benefits
of going past the cap are minimal at best.
