The Ranger class is Ragnarok Online’s essential pure deeps class. Rangers can deal damage on par with Wizards, but are mechanically more demanding. This is the kind of character your raid is built around protecting while you wail away on the dungeon boss.
As such there is really only one way to go with a Ranger, max damage build, however there are two ways to get there; the Arrow Vulcan route, and the Falcon Assault route.
Pros
- +Enormous damage potential
- +Good utility with traps and escapes
- +Possible to Kite foes
Cons
- -Not many AoE skills, single-target damage mostly
- -Reliant on ping

Stats Priority
With regards to Stats priority for a Ranger, you should dump the majority of your points into AGI and STR. The STR will increase your raw damages and the AGI will increase critical strike chance and dodge. The ideal build would probably be 40 STR, 40 AGI and 8 VIT.
Tips
The first build focuses on maximizing the damage from the Arrow Vulcan build path. The most important thing to be aware of is your positioning in fights. Use your multitudes of escapes at the first sign of danger because if you go down, suddenly the raid isn’t doing much damage to the boss.
The second build instead tries to shift some of your damage to burst rather than sustained damage output. Remember to use Falcon Assault whenever it is off cooldown.
