Hi all.
I'm Strife, you've probably seen me in Legit or run with me in a dungeon, but I'm here to let you know a few of the tips and tricks that all rangers should probably know:
DODGE!
1 - we have the most dodges of any class. While our dodge range may be short, if timed well you can avoid almost anything except AoE attacks. Learn to dodge at the right time in pve, and you'll be running rings round everything.
2 - Fox's shift / fox's cunning. We all know if you go full trapper you can buff your fox's cunning to apply the dodge to the whole team, but the foxs shift attack can also be used as a dodge. fox's shift jumps you toward the enemy and melee strikes them, but for that short time during the jump, you dodge anything. You can use this to dodge the knives at the end of ESoT, or the knife attack in EToS.
ARMOUR PEN:
1 - Armour pen has two important % markers. 40% armour pen will have you hitting max damage against T2 mobs, and 60% armour pen will have you hitting max damage against Tiamat / T2 Bosses. However as HR's, we have a LOT of armour and weapons with too much armour pen, so keep an eye on your stats, and consider stacking crit or recovery once you hit 56, 57% armour pen, because you don't want wasted stats.
I'll add more as I remember them :P
