Retooling a 70 HM Ranger?

I have a 70 HM Ranger and he's got Dreamy Cele everywhere. All is linked on a budget w/Duals, some 5's and Ele 1's on the Armor pieces. I have Ele 2 on one weapon and Ele 1's on the others.

Anyhow, I like to pvp but my build is STR/DEX/LUX... with all buffs I'm about 900 STR, 700 DEX and 500 LUC. It's not that stellar... my DEF is very low and I get 1 hit a ton and can't resist magic.

So I'm starting to think of retooling... RESTAT and RESKILL. I was thinking of going FULL DEX and changing my skills to be the annoying stunner with 3 Lv7 Debuffs in my 6 slot weapon and maxing my misfortune to try to snare many in my debuffs. Downside to this is I don't think I'll still have any magic resist and my DEF will still be low. But my evasion will be high.

Any thoughts pro/con on this approach? Would like to discuss it some before committing resources to it.

Dex counts as your defence, so having in excess of 1200 Dex is quite important. The best sin/rangers are the ones who avoid being hit, and are able to land hits time after time. Also, 600 luc is all you really need, because you have your own luc buff. You can then put everything else into Str for damage purposes. I believe PrinceCatali has in excess of 1700 Dex, so don't skimp on the evasion. The Dex you have now just isn't enough. I'd still stick with only having a DPS chain and stun chain. GL

Also, since I can't edit posts on the Mobile version of the site.. I would say that you need more hp than defence, so get the best +hp ojs you can and aim for a life 7 in each piece if you can ever afford trying.

Rec Dex Debuff sins are plausible, they aren't my cup of tea but they are plausible

Get EVERY skill with a Debuff attached to it, so the Gruesomes chains etc, skip The evis, agg, tet chain unless u can afford the Skill points to get Evis (for more AoE debuffing)

max Misfortune AND blunt so you can really lower peoples stats.

Link, dex, rec, HP and give it a go. Not sur eon your base stat pool on your toon, but sounds like its low, you'd be ableto get derpimo for 2-3 Op per piece now, so might be worth staying str/dex/luc and farming like crazy (OI, CS, QV, KI etc) then building a dex/rec set.

but regardless you will be a complete support toon and still probably squishy 1200 dex is NOT much in 1-70 these days (I have 1200ish Dex on my Pure STR build), you'd be spamming misfort/blunt and using other AoEs on defenders on priests.

Debuffs pain, slumber, blind, silent, all handy, but as are the likes of curse, panic, jinx for you. Jinx and blunt combined on fighters will give your Warrs a excellent hit rate and more evasion helping them live

Thanks for the replies... what's "derpimo" for 2-3 Op? You mean the 65-69 set?
