Rangers have always been my favourite character-type. Stronger than any other and with his bow, plus the ability to make a fighting retreat, can inflict casualties on an advancing group of fighters, enough to force them to flee rather than continue the advance. But one of the problems with all the character-types is the dreaded "not enough" message. Not enough mana (for a spellweaver), and for a ranger "not enough concentration". I know that one of the reasons for this is using equipment that is too advanced for the character. But knowing what to do about is less clear. I tried equipping Oakhand with lower value equipment, but nothing helped. So I appealed to the forum, posting my question there. I had two useful replies. One was to equip my character with a longbow in place of a short bow. This proved to be as decisive as the first comment suggested. He was using a "legendary" short bow, the highest class of "quality". I was reluctant to do this, but waited a couple of days to see if there were any other replies. There was another reply which I quote below:
This was very helpful, despite not understanding some points. I am still not sure what the 2-skill trait refers to, but I get the gist of what he is saying. The longbow allows one to make several briefer shots that, while it is used, replenishes concentration.
It has made a huge difference to my character. He still has not enough concentration, but the use of special skills and a sequence of briefer shots with the longbow do make a significant difference. I have increased his concentration and my ranger now is soon to reach level 31 (in I guess about 2 hours of play).
This is a great game, the video quality graphics and the fact that it is free to play give it the edge over any other video quality game. that I know of. I have also learned ways to overcome loss of concentration thanks to the forum suggestions.
Quote:In addition to what UK said, you have a multitude of skills. Use them when you hunt.
Few hints:
Use death sweep against a group of creatures. Use the 2 skill trait on this skill to do 43% additional damage.
Use Adrenaline every time it is up to replenish your concentration. Use the 2 skill trait on it to make it reusable quickly.
Use the trait 2 and 3 on Hunting Arrow to remove the concentration that it uses, so you can use the concentration all for the precise shot.
Use Hunting Trap on groups of creatures to mark all of them at once and then shoot Scatter shot at them to kill them quickly.
Use trait 2 and 3 on scatter shot to recover concentration back.
Use Blade Dance and with skill trait 5 to reduce active cool downs on all skills when you target a group of creatures, specially now you can re-use Adrenaline again.
Use skill trait 2 on Deadly Blow to kill an almost dead creature to regain all your concentration.
Use skill trait 5 of Deadly Blow to heal.
Hope these tips will help you.
