I've just started a new game, with a ranger, and I've just got to say: OMG! Those guys are really good at the beginning. 2.5 attacks per round right from scratch is GOOD. [img]smile.gif[/img] Though honesty says he'll be less powerful in the long run.

The strategy for soloing with a ranger is a little different with the HOW expansion because of the "call to arms", and the loss of spells at the mid-levels (IWD rangers get a lot more spells at levels 8-14 than HOW rangers). However, these are easily overcome with the right potions and tactics. For me, nothing in IWD feels quite like taking a solo ranger through to Burial Isle before having to reload for the first time. This time, I'm taking a human ranger with the intention of dualing him to a cleric at level 13. So far I'm at Dragon's Eye with no reloads. |

If you don't mind, Otto, I'm going to try that tactic, too, once I get my computer up and running. My current character relies too heavily on bows to validate 1/3 of the expo flowing into magery. My only quibble with a cleric/ranger is that they must use SLINGS! I HATE SLINGS! I think that I may just stick with a ranger and use as much archer tactics as possible.
Is there anything that I need to know about archer tactics? I have just been shooting guys and retreating, and whipping out my sword when cornered. Anything else to be aware of? I'm new to the archery game, as it is a lot weaker in IWD2, which I'm used to. |
