Build Description

This build contains one or more skills that have been changed because of skill updates. This may cause an increase or decrease in the build's performance, so check the skill descriptions carefully. If this is your build, editing it will remove this message.

Most rangers want a dire evolution for their pet, which provides an increase in base damage in exhange for less maximum health.

This build is optimized for the mergoyles outside of the Gates of Kryta mission. You should get a dire pet (level 14) within 3-3.5 hours if you start with a level 5 pet. Enraged Lunge can be replaced by Ferocious Strike.

This can be used successfully to train hero pets as long as you make sure Symbiotic Bond and Call of Protection are always recharging to boost Enraged Lunge's damage. Once everyone's pets are level 10, switch to hard mode and bring a bonder or a Union/restoration rit.
