User:Jwwatts89/Norn Tournament Ranger tactics

Normally this tournament is near impossible to beat with a ranger due to the small amount of space to fight in. However after much trial and error I (Shinning Rider) finally found a way.

Build:

Pain(Communing Ritualist Skill); Vampirism(Sunspear Title Track Skill); Favorible Winds(Marksmanship Ranger Skill); Poison Tip Signet(Wilderness Survival Ranger Skill); Hunter's Shot(Marksmanship Ranger Skill); Toxicity(Beast Mastery Ranger Skill); Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support(Ebon Vanguard Title Track Skill); Comfort Animal(Beast Mastery Ranger Skill)

Skill point assignment: Ranger/Ritualist Beast Mastery 8; Wilderness Survival 11; Marksmanship 9 + 1; Communing 8

Tactic:

Before the round begins, go ahead and use your Favorible Winds & Toxicity skills so that these 2 spirits will be safe when the gate closes behind you. The moment you step through the gate, step to the side a couple of times and use the Vampirism skill. Then go to the other side of your gate immediately and use the Pain Skill. Typically the enemy will go to the left first thing, so go to the right after you summon the 2nd spirit, and put a little distance between you and him. Use Poison Tip Signet followed immediately by Hunter's Shot, then use Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support to hopefully stop him from using his purge signet. Try to keep your pet alive to take the majority of the damage, and spawn new pain and vampirism spirits far enough away from the others to keep them from cancelling the old ones out if they aren't already gone. Make sure that you keep him poisoned and bleeding as long as you can, and use the assassin as much as possible.
