Guide - Ranger Headshot 111 to powerlevel

[nookiecookie]

I started to level a group of FTP. At level 86, I grouped with level 111 Ranger with autogrant AA and ToV Tier 1 Group gear. The Ranger did have a chase raid bow from ToV (Ice-encrusted Compound Bow but no dmg augs). I got as many tradeable type 5 augs to raise his heroic dex as much as possible. The augs I got were Sebilisian, there are 7 augs and they drop in EoK zones and are tradeable. I had some left over when my main group was wearing them.

Other augs to get are Deft augs from TBM zones, they give 40 Heroic Dex and there are 3, and Resilent, 2 types and they give 20 heroic dex.

I have not got the TBM group purchase or farmed augs yet so got room to improve heroic dex. His dex comes in just under 1700. It helps to get Dex as high as you can.

I take the group to Kor-sha Gate near the zone-in on the gate side to Kor-sha Lab. There is a spot on the right inside the wall where there is no wanderer so it is safe to pull mobs there (see the green arrow).




I updated the mac from Derp - Very Basic Headshot Macro to use 111 level spells. The spells used are:

• Vinelash Assault
• Entrap AA - manually
• Marked Shots Rk. II
• Focused Arrowgale Rk. II
• Flusterbolt
• Blusterbolt
• Drifting Snowshower Rk. II to calm mobs to get single pulls.

A word of warning, a named can spawn here from a sarnak sage, this mob is not rootable so the macro will not help but he is headshotable. I use my 125 paladin to gain agro and hold it while the 111 ranger Discs and Headshots it down.

From 86 to 95 with 5 toons grouped with the ranger, it was decent xp during the Memorial Day bonus. At 95, I got the group vitality and levels went fast with vitality and the weekend xp bonus (10% per kill) and a group xp potion.

[CODE title="Updated Simple Ranger Headshot Mac"]|Diba
|To use:
|Turn on macro -> Pull 1 mob -> Cast Entrap on the mob
|Once the macro sees Entrap on your target it will try to keep the mob rooted, away from you, and debuffed.
|Keep in mind you'll still need to turn autofire on.
