Tips and tricks on how to optimize your ranger character for the challenges of Mordor!
PS: I support arranged summonings.
No clue if you're still reading comments but your content was a winner and is much needed, pls come back bb!
For those who are a bit late to the party, the source skill with 15 arrows is awesome at point blank range
WHERE'D YOU GO QUACKSTACK??
Wait, you recommend an elf and THEN change his name to Ifan ben-Mezd? xD
yeah such bullshit right. i noticed that too.
Elfan Ben-Mezd
Your rant was absolutely fantastic, it helped a lot in understanding how Warfare interacts with your attributes.
WITS: Just wanted to add a few things here. It is good and nice to have pure damage output, but there is a few things that you have to take into the calculation. The opertunity to CC before they are able to attack. a 4v4 can turn into a 4v3 and change the fight totally.
Yea, that "Everyone gets a turn anyways" argument makes zero sense, especially on Tactician. Most reliable Honour Builds have high Wits for a reason. Why would you wanna risk getting CC'd when you can guarantee CC'ing the enemy by starting first.
No more videos :( feelsbadman
For those who don't know, Ifan is a Welsh name and the f in Ifan is pronounced as a v. E-van
I'm in desperate need of your comeback... you drop these great videos, tbh If the case is that you play other games these days I would like to see that. Just give me anything with puns senpai!!
not even a minute in the video and already more puns, than I need for a week :D
ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY PUNS!!
When you find a great TH-camr and see their last upload was a year ago
*ohno*
hey quackstack, hope you still come back one day. we miss you
I love how you got into the mechanics of the game and what to and not to do to min/max. Alot of builds ive seen dont go into the small min/max details like you did. GJ
This way to talk about divinity is gold thank you. Great advice and funny. Your effort with the warfare vs finesse was lit. Thats dedication man
10:57 I really enjoyed my executioner huntsman on my first playthrough, was just so satisfying to finish off enemy after enemy from high up while dealing massive crit dmg.
Here i am, re-watching every video this fella made, 7 times a week. Please return!
"I'll see you in the next one" :,(
Really miss you dude, you made some phenomenal content that was witty and hilarious. Hopefully you can find time to come and make us laugh again!
I hope we 'll see you again when the divinity 3 hype beginns, can't wait for your Comeback!
Baldur's Gate 3 first I think ;)
Dunno why but i love all of this channel content
The humor and the quality of editing is just really good.
Hope you come back from the dead bro
WHERE YOU AT BRO???
Chapter11 yeah, it looks like he's a funny TH-camr and the best Divinity original sin 2 build guide maker.. There's so much he could've done
Waiting with immense anticipation for your BG3 class guides
Came for the builds, but stayed for the puns and the math.
Waow just started the game and lookedfor builds found your vids, stoped playing the game to watch your videos, you got to make a comeback whit thouse dank puns.
Don't give up on us dad. You're the chosen one.
I came for the dwarf dance, but I stayed for the rest of the video... Wait.
Idk if you come back and look at these comments but this is one of the best guides ive seen on a video. Comedy and straight facts
Just found this channel. I really hope this guy comes back...
I went with Ifan as a ranger during my first playthrough, and it was awful. However, once I took your advice and spec'd him in summoning, I started having a lot of fun! Summon-Da-Rangement build ftw!
Papa, please come back...
Addendum to your elf ranger song: forget about your worries and your *strafe*
The arrow recovery bit was gold, did not expect that at all subbed immediately.
We need more videos!
0:48 good you put a pause after that, otherwise I'd had to pause myself
Come back quackstack, youve got a gift for this! :D naturally funny is hard to come by these days
Hey can you please do an updated guide list for every build . I know it's been 5 years but worth the shot . Ty
Dude! Where are you? We miss you!
Came for DOS tips, subbed for the puns...
Hell yeah. Just got this game and am Gunna run this build on tactican mode!
You know its a materpiece of a video when u watched it so many times that u know the script by heart and still u have to laugh at the jokes
Yes, I see your math on wits vs finesse for damage, but let me raise you this:
Bold of you to assume everyone gets a turn.
lone wolf talent, elf.
Be the buff boyo(fortify/frost armor/haste/evasion/regen/first aid/LoTE/etc)on the charisma person talking to a potential(more than likely) combat encounter. Preparing the battlefield pre-emptively, summoning your dude, completely buffing him with whatever element you prefer (#bloods), then starting combat using the talker.
Now your archer goes *first* a majority of the time (first opponent who outsped me was alice, and ended the game with 67 initiative due to maxed wits and armor buffs, which I dont remember anything outspeeding me at that point) allowing them to set themselves up, flesh sacrifice, bloody arrows, adrenaline, maybe a ballistic shot due to how OP it is, skin graft, adrenaline, flesh sacrifice. Haste yourself, and that combined with flesh sacrifice will allow you to actually have ap the next turn. Do what you want, and finish the turn with a chameleon cloak.
Pair this with a crit chance bow/crossbow, and your dps is amazing, even at 50% crit chance.
Having used your entire first turn to probably kill 1-2 enemies, with which I love Execution over The Pawn for that 1 extra shot, if not at least knocking them down with knockdown arrows. THEN YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR INCARNATE FULLY BUFFED TO ALSO DO KNOCKDOWNS. Really combines well with my Dagger/Shield tank that suffers in damage (the backstab crits help loads) but is great in CC.
This was how I got my way through Tactical Honour mode. Pretty versatile, can be used for any situation, really, even the random fights you usually outspeed the enemies allowing you to create some protectionary countermeasures.
Stats were something like 14(2)str, 40(20)fin, 10(0)con, 20(5)int, 40(20)mem, 40(20)wits without gear and with gear, and certain choices raising finesse and wits well into the 50's and 60's. Melee build also had its fair share of buffs etc, but she was mainly the support with at least 1(=2LW) point in every skill, focusing on summoning (maxed with armor bonuses on top), ranged, scoundrel, and warfare in that order while he worked on CC until she could start picking off the enemies one at a time.
Edit: I should note that this build was VERY glass cannon. You needed to play VERY carefully. Constitution was a dump stat for it, and I chose to give up con for wits, as well as flesh sacrifice taking more and more con as you level. If you do not CC properly, or evade trouble properly, *you will die*.
Please Quackstack come back!1!1!!!
9:36 was this supposed to be funny...???
That "joke" = inadvisable
I'm excited to get home, roll an elf ranger or play Sebille, and try this out. I've been playing as the Red Prince as a wizard. My party is wizard, enchanter, knight, rogue. And the rogue has been doing the most damage I think.
Your commentary is awesome props for the spaceballs reference
Can you do a group build? Love all your guilds, but would love to hear how you would compose your group.
I don't know if you've considered doing videos on mods, but there is deffinantly a lot to work with and some more puns to be made.
Loved the elf jokes! Thanks for this! Just started playing DOS2 and I turned Sebille into a Ranger... No regrets so far!
Ifan is my ranger on my monk build
I am interested in his story as well! But I'll probably save his quests for my subsequent playthroughs...
Bruh come back we need you :(
Oh man i just love coming to a good channel that has died... -.-
Dude arrow storm is a beast when it comes to huge targets
the thing about criting is its actually better to get more damage on that one hit if it means you get the kill that hit. Think in pokemon flamethrower vs fire blast
Please come back quackstack I need you
Literally subscribed within the first one minute. God damn youre hilarious.
Dear god, these puns, i can't...stop...watching.
Just wanna let you know that we’re still watching your masterpieces and miss you
I'm not a huge fan of summoner on ranger because the few attacks they get scale with intelligence and ranger tree doesn't have a unique summon. What I do instead is stack scrolls and arrows on my ranger and use them as an unreachable nuker
Boring
@@SeventhheavenDK BIG Damage Isn't boring 😎
Came here because of auto play, kept watching for the amazing puns, subbed for the practical point of view.
My Sebill was going turn 1 all the time, outside of the scripted shit, and she was a ranger. She had scoundrel instead of warfare. That was working well, being able to cc anyone.
Your puns have won you a subscriber sir! 😂
"1 in 7 is found to be dopey." That's gold.
Well holy fuck all of the puns, pushed the subscribe button so hard my screen broke
Great videos.Watched all of them,just hope you will come back
Just found your videos, went to your account. I am now sad.
Came in for the guide stayed for the hilarious puns!
SUBSCRIBED! Awesome video, really funny and informative. Also love the puns, you even has what i think was an accidental one...
'E-fon, I-fan ... i don't know how to even pronounce his name, i'm not ifan...' hahaha
Keep up the good work :D
Sorry mate but he hasn't uploaded since last year, and i fear he will never comeback. :(
Great D-OS2 vids. How do you record your Gameplay for D-OS2? By chance, do you use OBS?
13:10 I appreciate it - «Ну, Погоди!»
WHY DID YOU STOP MAKING VIDEOS ?! YOU MAGNIFICENT SON OF A GUN... love them!!!
Why did you stop making videos? Your content is amazing
Elemental ranger adds physical damage when the enemy is standing in blood. Combine this with flesh sacrifice, elemental arrowheads and nether swap and it's a super useful talent.
Yea I don't get how elemental ranger isn't useful, but elemental arrowheads is
Hawkeye (or whatever it's called) is pretty handy to have for that little bit of extra range, especially when combined with ballistic shot. That's it though. It's the only useful source spell.
I advise using polymorph for wings as it gives you awesome mobility
Loving it, buuuuuut when can we have the end game build guides? :)
+Liam Riley end game is super easy though, I wouldn't really know where to start. Just abuse aoe skills!
The puns literally forced me to give you a thumbs up.
My main Avatar is a ranger and it's pretty tough even with classic difficulty. I hope it gets easier later on.
Best blink in the game. Are you a dota player?
Honeydew is delicious. If you buy one and cut it up yourself, it's great.
are you the same guy from casually explained?
what is the point of weapons: single hended, bows? etc
is it better to put your points into skills?
I feel like a peddle powered wheelchair is just a bicycle
Ngl, that 5 yo where wolf pun got me 😂
Trying to grow channel... Stops making content. :P
yeah meet him at a discord server he was a real douche tbh instead of explaining why he stopped making videos he was trying to explain why he isnt MR Ping from Kung Fu Panda for some reason
Just found this video! brilliant.
Where have you gone man!
if you don't want to do summoner with your huntsman necromancer works really well
Also helps make up for the squishy nature with bone cage, shackles, and resist death
Please come back!! We miss you!
Except you forgot that you can easily get 100% crit in this game with the ranger. And thus, there won't any comparison with Finesse vs Wit... When you crit 100% of the time your dmg output is MUCH more important than if you had more points into finesse but did not crit 100%.
I'd strongly recommend to nearly max WIT.
You are missing that finesse also increases your crit damage. Lets say for example that your base damage is 10. At this point 11 points in finesse would increase your damage by 55% and you would hit 15,5 every time. At the same time increasing your wit by 100 (almost ten times more points) would help you crit every time, but as the crit modifier is 150% (assuming no points in scoundrel)you would do only 15 damage per crit. So only 11 finesse would be better than 100 wits.
If you're comparing things with only a single shot, of course it's better to get more Finesse. But if you're comparing on the reality of the game, let's say 5 arrows total or 10, make the calculation of 10x 100% crit shots minus 10 pts (for example) in Finesse, compared to 5 crit shots + 5 normal shots with +10 in Finesse, and you'll see ;)
And if you're making this calculation with the entire shots you'll be doing in the game, it's even more obvious.
The difference between 100% crit chance and 50% would be 50 pts in finesse or wits, not 10. So lets calculate what your finesse would need start at in order to make those damage numbers equal. (X = % modifier with the start finesse)
10 Crit shots = 5 Normal shots + 5 Crit shots
10 * X * 150% = 5 * (X+250%) + 5 * (X+250%) * 150%
15 * X = 5 * X + 5 * 250% + 5 * X * 150% + 5 * 250% * 150%
15X = 5X + 1250% + 7,5X + 1875%
15X = 12,5X + 3125%
2,5X = 3125%
X = 1250%
To get a finesse damage modifier of 1250%, one would need to have finesse of 260.
The simple fact is that the crit % from wits is way too minimal to make a difference. If the attributes would grow large enough, it would be eventually better to take some wits over finesse, but as the game works now, that is not the situation.
Still not my point but anyway :)
In this game you can go to 100% crit anyway without maxing WITS and maxing FIN at the same time so who cares :D
“That’s what I’m Tolkien about”
What 2 years and only 17k subs... you make great content .... keep pushing until you get critical mass...
367k views come back lol its the commentary that makes it
So… what ratio should i have finesse to warfare on a ranger???
I’m a little late but thank you. Thought I was doing everything wrong.
Subbed 100% because of your puns. Thank you for what you do. LOL
My archer is Sebile, blood sacrifice then elemental arrow on dropped blood, OP :D
You did your math on the wrong side of that equation. Disabling or killing enemies before they get to hit is infinitely times more useful than also getting a turn after you've been disabled or killed. Otherwise, I'm interested in trying it out.
9:37 fuck that arrow recovery joke got me good... xD
Your videos are fantastic.
DON'T STOP DOING YOU MAN
Love your humour and style, would be really cool, if you have of course the time, to find some new content here
