1,383,362 DPS RANGER: Warden vs Hunter (single target) Best Setups for Damage! - Neverwinter Mod 28

[@NytLegend]

Thanks for the charts that compare classes ST damage because some believe that there are a lot of underpowered dps classes for some reason lol. Can't wait to see the others

[@kool9174]

It did to broken gears and equipment. For example if someone is running mirage and and wicked Lich mount power the have a serious advantage over anyone that not.

[@NytLegend]

Yes, certain gear on certain classes will give different results, but this is just a tutorial, and the way he test st damage. Just a base line because skill, and situation plays a part as well

@@topshotterz4eva u didn't watch the video

[@diegoavila9287]

Very good video! But I'm looking forward to seeing something about the DPS Fighter!

[@MITRIX12]

I agree warden is easier but the potential for hunter is a lot higher

[@BABYZARIEL]

Both paragons will do nice dmg, oweral i think warden will be stronger, still.not sure or everything working correctly on warden,.

[@MITRIX12]

@@BABYZARIEL hunter is like i said more skill based so if ur a good player hunter will always be better besides in aoe

[@johngillan4475]

Thank you for your hard work.

[@sydclark5581]

They've got the Ranger and thus the Warden completely wrong. Rangers should be bow dominant and melee 2nd (close ok, but 2nd). If I wanted to be a melee dominant class I wouldn't play a Ranger. Huge thanks for the chart tho Aragon. Nobody has ever shown me the class build and fighting sequence to maximise DPS. Cant wait to give this a try 👍 I only hit 130k to 1.9M on the dummy in our stronghold (in a sequence, self buff 87k). I'm on PS4, so I hate the load screens going to that room via the Guildhall. Edit: I've seen Gus hit 12m on one of his uploads, so you can definitely hit higher (legally or not, I dont know)

[@Aragon-]

be aware the updates to warden are not out yet. Need to wait until april 23 with Module 28 release

[@sydclark5581]

​@@Aragon- I didn't think they needed to buff Hunter, but IMO they clearly do

[@BABYZARIEL]

Hunter need bufs, becouse we not geting benefits from hex, spin devil,if you play rogue or wizy, you need have hex and spin devil sloted. ^^

[@magickrzych2]

Yeah, as it's says "Ranger" and I'm focusing on melee 😅 Feat for 50% more DMG from ranged encounter could be changed to all ranged attack. Then we could have some chose to play some more on ranged part or mix with melee.

[@gscgold]

yeah I agree, why have a bow if your going to be up in the bosses face or trash packs..it's the main reason why I never played Ranger in Neverwinter but the reason I wanted to play Neverwinter because it did have a ranger class, go figure.

[@CsKun]

Seems kinda pointless choosing 'Focused' feat if you switching stance so often as you have to build up stacks from 0 after every stance switch.Just a thought but as far as i know warden was always melee oriented. Also most of the hunters i know using 'More Than Disruptive' and 'Disruptive Shot' and they start their rotation with that and bow attacks then switch to melee then back to bow for filling the encounters cooldown time with 1 more 'Disruptive Shot' then 'Aimed Shot'. 'Slaher's Mark' can kill you at Tiamat and CoDG and on other places where you can fall off through the little space between the platform and the boss. "Ranger. Playstyle: The Ranger specializes in dealing damage and stands out as one of Neverwinter's most powerful DPS classes. It has two Paragon Paths: Warden and Hunter. While the Warden Path excels at melee combat, the Hunter excels at ranged combat, offering a versatile playstyle for the players to adapt to." - by Google

[@isyaboiart2805]

I’m really having fun with this class so far Its versatility is very edgy 😅 Looking forward to completing the build I’m trying out

[@crunchevo8974]

We don't open rotations with dailies anymore since tact percision was introduced. As even if you don't have any encounter powers on cooldown the tact cooldown still applies. Most people have swapped over to using slashers mark and throwing in 1 or 2 dissruptive shots per minute to get a few more arti rotations in during regular rotation time but that can risk you not having slashers mark ap up in time for when it counts aka the arti calls. Also the reason focused is chosen is because i believe the other power does not apply to atwills which via rapid strike are a big chunk of ranger damage and i also believe focused applies to root damage too but don't quote me on that. Plus you're swapping only once in a while. Not all the time like you are with hunter and using rate of change.

[@kingrix]

I main a ranger, so I'm looking forward to playing around with these changes.

[@martinusamsterdam7667]

As a paladin (dwarf) tank I am familiar with this kind of damage, It all depends if my Chillybeans were hot enough the night before

[@Aragon-]

lol xD

[@lynnjensen150]

This is why most more modern games don't have pure healers or pure tanks. In Neverwinter palys are just sort of hosed both ways.

[@HenryTheHorse91]

that is some great input how to play ranger on single target.. but what about best for aoe?

[@Aragon-]

aoe is going to be warden for sure. Recommend to mess around with powers yourself, but I will for my build video

[@HenryTheHorse91]

@@Aragon- thank you so much for your answer! looking forward to play warden when mod 28 is released :)

[@verdeleheath7273]

Any cleric dps upgrades?

[@lynnjensen150]

They don't care about cleric dps. From their point of view you are supposed to be a healer. Because you can be a healer they figure your dps spec should be penalized. Silly logic but they don't play the game anyway.

[@fredrauch418]

🙏

[@martinmller3053]

Do you also make data for GF, i see few GF do huge, but generel they sems bad. Compare to pure dps class, tr, cw and hr

[@lynnjensen150]

Neverwinter devs don't have a clue how class balance works. Not a clue. They jump from class to class making random, non class balance changes and the overall results are predictably bad.

[@fredrauch418]

Fighter changes feel underwhelming, still clunky..

[@Aragon-]

I will yes

[@parishadjipanayis821]

Aragon i just did a test on 5k boss on ps5 with crystal and mirage(flask and sunlord no soup) on hunter and warden build same powers as you are showing. my hunter build finished in 2:30 and the warden build in 4:35 so they must have doubled at least the current warden otherwise its not worth switching for someone who plays hunter on top level and i have been playing hunter for 6 years now

[@Aragon-]

of for sure, they more than doubled what warden can do in single target. Wait for mod 28 update!

[@parishadjipanayis821]

@@Aragon- Quick update. i did full buffs hunter 5k boss 2:27 and with warden 2:17 so theorotically is better if u can be mellee on boss uninterrupted which is a bit streched but still on paper warden is now more dps than hunter (Dracarys)

[@spiroskotsikoris9439]

verry good video...if you can make an guide also with what companions mount and everythink to use it will be awsome

[@nicholasramos5272]

Were is the data for rogue, and builds.?

[@Aragon-]

Not done yet

[@flyintyger7635]

HUNTER....... 😎

[@-Velsharon-]

Whats up with Marauders rush now ....... i loved it to attack and rush back it makes it more consistent or ordered for me 😅

[@isyaboiart2805]

Right??? I actually built my rotation around it 🫠 😂 I just got back from the game by the way (from PS to PC)

[@FullMetalPier]

I really don't like the powers and dynamics of the Warden, I wouldn't want to switch to that path....

[@shubhampathak-gi9nh]

How is it now?

[@nicopicolito]

Should I be selling my mirage even though I still haven't gotten the perfect weapons yet?

[@BABYZARIEL]

Sadly spin devil cant prox on test server, so i cant ceck or hits from split the sky and thorn ward can prox it multi time, but rat pup and tomb spider do nice dmg ^^

[@ericcruz1270]

Do you have a warden build video I can follow?

[@Aragon-]

Not yet

[@meh66666]

what artifacts should i get as ranger hunter

[@crunchevo8974]

Any devuff that makes the boss take 10% more damage with all offensive stats works. You can use one that also gives defense or awareness but it's not ideal. Even more ideal if they're 1.5k item level.

[@RidelGamer]

where I get this artifact, the buffer?

[@Aragon-]

On the preview test server

[@UlyssesFlannagan-d9n]

Is warden ranger better for DPS than hunter ranger?

[@Aragon-]

Yes from what I found

[@travismccarter2362]

How do you unbind? Focus stacks refreshing on warden from bind

[@Aragon-]

Go to your keybinds and just set the keys to what action you want.

[@travismccarter2362]

Anyway can get bind again for hunter couldnt find and I'm silly and didn't save

[@NickleSparrowtree]

Hi Arogon I was looking for your warden builds single and AOE can you send me link to those builds I really need the help thank you. Please understand that I'm trying to rebuild my warden so a comparison video will not help me.

[@Aragon-]

I don't have a build video published yet

[@NickleSparrowtree]

Can you make a video on Ranger warden AOE and SINGLE target with companions , gear, insignias, mount bonuses, PLEASE

[@itsmohdiii3689]

When rogue wk sod vs assasin st enc dps thingy

[@voidwizard2067]

Hate the Ranger stance dance, wish you could also choose only ranged.

[@shubhampathak-gi9nh]

Could have asked ST Gus for advice 😅

[@Aragon-]

This is what they use

[@shubhampathak-gi9nh]

@@Aragon- Bro i tried the build its op I took the crt sev but it still gets the ads to clear up faster as well as ST damage

[@MarcoDePolo64]

Hindering strike should include in tool tip 50% chance your attack does nothing. Its worse than befpre the new mod for me now

[@ele3GHOST_KNG]

Lol if u use a hunter use a augment ranger aeo companion

[@S_I_E_P_]

Maybe the best Damage. But it takes to long to use it. So its a no for me.

[@blueskydevil7977]

As u say if u don't do a perfect rotation on Hunter u currently loosing around 15% to 25% damage, so assuming u r new on HR u can add 20% on your Hunter dmg test 😉 it goes to 1.372.800 dmg who is same than top warden.. so it looks pretty equal 4 me 😉
