       =========
       Introduction
       =========
       Hi I’m Sarah! Stalvros asked me to post my ranger build so here
       it is.  I am posting what I mostly use for 50+ fractals. I
       change my utility skills and weapons tons based on the
       situation.  I also am usually stuck with certain jobs, hammer...
       oil... etc.
       =========
       Armor Set:
       =========
       I have 2 seperate sets. One is beserker with ruby orbs and the
       other is soldier. I am a believer that every class should have
       atleast 2 sets of armor. You never know when a new build will
       hit in the middle of a run.  For the majority I run my beserker
       armor. The only time I put soldiers on is when I am doing Shaman
       or Cliffs.
       =========
       Trinket Set:
       =========
       -Beserker
       =========
       Weapons:
       =========
       Ok this also depends on the instance you are on.  (see playing
       this build at the bottom) I suggest having a longbow, shortbow
       and axe/warhorn, sword/warhorn.
       ==================
       Traits:
       ==================
       Marksmanship -30. I, VIII, X
       Skirmishing-30. II, X, IX
       Wilderness Survival-10. VI   (This trait is optional based on
       what you like, howerver when you do shaman you will want to
       change it to VI.)
       =============
       Playing this build:
       =============
       Heal: I always, always bring Healing Spring.  Blast finishers
       are awesome party heals and we all know that Fractals is one big
       stack fest.
       Cliff Side :Main person on Hammer- When I do this I usually
       bring Rampage As One, Signet of the Wild, Signet of Stone, and
       Signet of the Hunt.  Under Marksmanship you can change piercing
       arrows for signet mastery if you would like.
       -Weapons: Usually I will run shortbow or Longbow and then
       axe/warhorn to help speed up the party and myself as we run the
       hammer.
       Shaman: Fighting the Grawl Boss-Here you will want your longbow
       (so that you can push back any feisty grawls) and a
       sword/warhorn. The warhorn will help if you or whoever is
       running stones. The added fury is always nice. If you are
       running you may also want to throw in Signet of the Wild and
       Rampage as One for the speed boost and stability. If you are not
       running stones you will want to make sure your dmg is on point.
       To help with this I usually make sure all my berserker gear is
       on and run Quickening Zephyr and Sharpening Stone. The sword
       will ensure that you can alone perma Cripple the grawls trying
       to get to the captives.
       Fighting the Shaman: Here I always throw my knights armor on.
       You will want to make sure your traits under Wilderness Survival
       are set to Wilderness Knowledge. You will also want to equip
       Entangle.  You alone can pop the Shamans bubble even if he is
       standing right next to a captive. You need to make sure as soon
       as the bubble pops to Entangle him, then just use a short bow on
       him. This is really helpful because you can tell the party to
       concentrate on ads right away. Usually I use signets for this as
       well.
       Swamp: Longbow, throw on Signet of Wild, Rampage as One, Warhorn
       etc to help run the first part. The 2nd part usually the party
       glitches. Throw on your Sharpening Stone , Quickening Zephyr and
       Frost/Sun Spirit for extra dmg done far away. You’re short bow
       will not work for these glitches anymore.
       Harpies: Not much to this, Rampage as one helps with the
       stability. When fighting the boss with the fan, make sure you
       bring out two bear pets. They are the biggest and will help
       shield your party from poison.
       Dredge: At the cart, you can actually pull the boss and only the
       boss without the adds. Stand on the pipes with a bear pet on
       avoid and use F1 and then F3 after he hits the boss. I usually
       equip traps and a longbow and shortbow here to help tag things,
       combined with piercing arrows I usually walk out with 60+ bags.
       Let’s be honest, the rangers utility skills are not the greatest
       but there are a handful you can interchange to get the job done
       well. The rest of the levels are pretty straight forward with
       common sense. When you need extra toughness and regen, when you
       need extra speed etc. If anyone has any questions feel free to
       ask me and I hope this helped.
