To clarify on the pictures of the characters stats in this guide, they were taken with food/drink buff, my class buff, and my 3-star Yarnaros out. So please take this into consideration, as always, use your buffs to "finish" maxing out the stats(ie 50% speed/75% def).
This is a comprehensive Ravager guide!
This guide is for a PvE-based Ravager, focusing on Zeal procs/Speed/Crit
Section 1 "Pros Vs Cons"
Pros
Best PvE DPS ingame (so far)
Fast skill rotation
Can solo pretty much anything (with Nocturnal core)
Cons
Meh in PvP (Other Rav builds are WAY better for PvP)
Section 2 "Skills and Stats"
Stat Building
Damage - Put all extra points here (More dmg, more fun)
Crit - Rely on Kalnas/Hel's/Envoy procs to get your crit up (50% base Crit is minimum, put points here if you cant afford Hels/Kalnas)
Speed - Have this up to 35% with your Gunslinger buff so that no points are wasted
Skill Useage
*Note* Skill bar set up is based on my preference, you may want to switch it around
1. Soaring Slash - Gap closer + massive dmg (Alternate between this and RnR)
2. Flame Slash - Jump cast while luring, "heal" skill (Must have Nocturnal)
3. Mirrored Axe - Jump cast while luring, "heal" skill (Must have Nocturnal)
4. Round And Round - The best DPS skill
5. Raging Slash - Stun skill (Can also alternate between this and RnR)
6. Horizontal Slash - Semi-useless with Speed build
7. Seismic Wave - AoE stun, good for panic during an AoE
8. Revival - Self explanatory
1. Decoy - Helps a ton in Laments (Thunder Trolls/Birds)
2. Frost Trap - Rarely use, better dps to just spam RnR and Soaring/Raging Slash
3. Dark Flare Trap - Same with this one
4. 90% Mount - To get places faster
5. Mental Focus - One of your most useful skills. Get that Speed up!
6. Elixer of Ice - Easier Laments
7. Elixer of Darkness - Easier Laments
8. Elixer of Storm - Easier Laments (These 3 can be switched with anything, just personal preference)
Use your third skill bar to switch between trophies
Section 3 "Envoy Path & Masteries"
Envoy Path
Blue - Try to get this section first
Red - Secondary
Yellow - Secondary
Purple - Last envoy point (Lv 75) can be placed anywhere
Masteries
1. 3 Second Raging Slash Stun
2. Orange Zeal (10% chance to deal 90% bonus dmg)
3. -10% Defence RnR
4. I switch between Orange Courage(6% HP/-3% Recieved Dmg) and Orange Hyperspeed(15% Movement speed6% Eva) once again depends on dungeon
5. Orange Break Defence (-20% Def)
6. Green Sinewy Body (2% of Dmg goes to Def)
Section 4 "The Gear"
Gear
Ferocious Beast top set (Juicy Dmg)
Lethal Beast bottom set (Double damage proc)
Hel's Accesories (-30% Def proc)
Green Malodnak Claw (30% Zeal)
Emblem of Immortal Dragon (I switch this out with other trophies, depending on dungeon)
Sky Tower Pistols (70% Zeal if I remember correctly)
Nazrudin Axe (Another 70% Zeal)
Orange Costumes (2% Dmg Advance Enchantment added to all except Hat)
Secret Stones
Aim for all 6% Crit Dmg stones first, once you have the cash and/or time to farm perfect stones, aim for 6% Crit Dmg/2% Dmg stones
Both Weapons should have Zephyr stones (5% Dmg each)
Food Buffs
As far as food buffs, there are a few good ones to use
Food - Filet Mignon 10% chance for 3x Dmg / +1603 Dmg
Alternate Food - Multigrain Toast 10% chance for 3x dmg / +823 Speed
Drink - Meteor Shower Float 10% Hp / +1180 Def
Section 5 "Moving On"
Moving on
This guide is more or less for everyone to build on, find out what works best for you and go from there.
Side note, there are 3 Speed builds right now.
35% Speed with both RnR cooldown envoys (Soaring Slash+RnR or Raging Slash+RnR spam)
45% Speed with both RnR cooldown envoys (Spam-able RnR)
50% Speed with no RnR cooldown envoys (Should be able to spam RnR, don't know personally)
3-Star Uzuriel with 3-star buffs might be better then yarnaros (60% crit dmg vs 24k Dmg)
Dullas bottom set instead of Kalna (Easier to cap Crit Dmg, but no Zeal proc)
