The rest of the Ranger-specific set

[Ruff]

I don't need a ranger to know that +8 health isn't enough to justify not wearing armour

Looking at Winter's "The Nord Beastiary", on Ragnarok, the Einherjar Ranger (first wave) is easily enough to kill somebody with <30 body armor. When I was wearing Red Tunic over Mail, with 28 body armor, I would die every chest hit (or effectively everywhere else). When I switched to Bear Armor, the loss of speed is a factor that you need to weigh in as a ranged character, but the gain of extra protection to at least survive one hit is totally worth it. I don't know what kind of steroids you've been taking, but wearing Swadian Recruit armor and surviving a shot in the chest is a near-godlike amount of luck, even with the +8 health from ranger, which while is handy and can save you at times, isn't much.

I don't know if it's because you prefer speed over protection, and it's fine if you do, but please, for the love of God, do NOT try to explain why an armor that has 18 body armor is better than an armor that has 46. We get that Swadian Recruit armor is faster. With Bear armor, some of the time, one shot and you're dead is true. But with Swadian Recruit armor? 100%, you're dead on the first shot.

You're allowed to share your opinion anywhere you want, as long as you aren't being a doof doing it. This:

ruff i have a ranger you dont -.-

is childish. You assume that because Ruff doesn't have the hero class, he must know nothing about how it works or any of its stats. Just because Ruff does not own the hero class, does not mean he knows nothing about it. Hell, if you think +8 health makes you survive any gamemode with 18 armor, he probably knows more than you do about Ranger without even owning it.

Stop and think once and a while, will you?

Talking about the Shield maybe you could make it that you could put it in ur Support Slot

Well as a ranger I would prefer heavier armor with more protection over light armor, speed is not that important as ability to survive on full runs (and that what ranger is for), +8 hp dont make any difference as long as you wear crappy armor

Woodz, please, stop acting like a 12 year old that pouts when he doesn't get his way.  It is getting old.  If people disagree with you, that's life.

Ranger was meant to be the class that has heavier armor that weighs them down.  I don't know why people are arguing about the body armor when the point of this topic was suggesting the rest of the set to go with the armor that is already in game.

I play a ranger on my archer toon and I really like the extra protection. There are some gear changes being considered that should improve this class in interesting ways.
