This Warrior/Ranger build is meant to be a useful addition to parties capping or completing missions in the Ring of Fire Islands. It is generally used to replace the need for a Ranger to carry Winter in this high level area where enemies are weak when struck with Cold damage.

[edit] Equipment

The best armor set for this is the Gladiator's Armor, as it has an extra energy boost, which is useful. The Helmet of choice is the Executioner's Helm, it gives you the +1 in Axe Mastery. Any axe is fine as long as it's max damage, and a max shield that requires 8 in Tactics or Strength is advisable. Any modification is fine, with the most useful being energy, health and armor penetration bonuses. Though any elemental bonus works fine.

As for Runes, an armor set with Warrior Rune of Major Tactics, Warrior Rune of Minor Strength, Warrior Rune of Superior Axe Mastery, Warrior Rune of Superior Vigor, and Warrior Rune of Superior Absorption is the recommended set up, though just about any of those can be left off (NOTE: if you have less than 8 Tactics this will drop your "To the Limit" from 4 strikes to 3). Also, Strength here is used soley for it's added armor Penetration, so you play with it to get it where you want, beware though if you have a shield that requires Strength make sure you meet the requirements.

[edit] Usage

  • Cast Winter before all battles, it is imperitive that you keep winter up if you have an elementalist nuker.
  • Spam Troll Unguent, it dies as soon as it recharges, so be aware of it. This will keep your health from falling from burning.
  • Use Storm Chaser to rush past Titans to take out Sparks. Also use as an Energy Conservation.
  • Use "To the Limit!" whenever it recharges in the midst of a battle to give yourself an adrenaline boost, making your attacks recharge faster.
  • Obviously use the axe attacks to attack, and the Resurrection Signet to Rez fallen allies.
  • The optional slot can hold a Signet of Capture for a capping group, or another attack for the missions.
