Silver Ranger guide

Near unbeatable in PvP, the Silver Ranger's speed and agility make up for any downsides it has. Though most Silver Rangers avoid using their high-MP skill attacks, their regular attacks pack a hugely powerful punch on their own, and when they use soulshots, prepare to see their enemies fall quickly.

Kiting is an archer's best friend. Due to your speed and the fact that you just happen to use a ranged weapon, the optimal way for you to hunt (at least when solo) is to kite.

As it already takes MP to shoot a bow (the better the bow, the more MP it takes) a lot of archers find it a waste of MP to use the special attacks. If you find yourself full of MP, though, feel free to let off a Double Shot or Stun Shot.

If you find yourself out of arrows with a monster chasing you, remember that special attacks do not use up arrows. While it burns a lot of MP, you will likely need a town run soon anyway, so Double Shot the bugger to death.

Stun Shot is especially useful when a PKer realizes you are too strong and begins to run away. This attack stops your target dead in her tracks (if it works) and gives you time to knock her off. The downside? It uses a ton of MP and does little damage.

Burst Shot does much less damage then Double Shot, or even Stun Shot, but it does shower damage, hitting several monsters at once. This is a good skill to use if a tank draws too many monsters at once — just be aware that the monsters might turn on you.

A big debate among archers: should you have a secondary weapon or not? While a dagger can come in useful when attacked by a player or fighting a monster in close quarters, it is a big drain on the pocketbook to

support two ongoing weapon upgrades.

While an archer can go into a dungeon, know that the close quarters and high count of aggressive monsters takes away your inherent hit-and-run advantage.

Silver Rangers are insanely fast because, not only do they have the fastest run speed and get the same speed boosts as the other archer classes, but they get Sprint 2 as well. Sprint 2 is like a self-Wind Walk 2, and so a Silver Ranger can outrun almost anyone.
