Rangers in speedclears typically take the role of a tank or terra using Shadow Form and Whirling Defense. The only exception is SoOSC where rangers are the main spikers as R/D. Luckily, R/Ds can perform the job successfully with the tank armor, and only a specific bow is required. Rangers also are used to solo all Elite Areas, aside from The Deep.
Armor
Standard Armor
- 5x Blessed Insigna
- +1+3 Expertise Headpiece
- Superior Vigor
- 3x Rune of Attunement (Terra Roles) or 3x Rune of Vitae (DoA Tank)
Armor vs Type
Ranger has access to the profession specific Insignas which provide +15 armor against each type of elemental damage. Although they only provide 5 more armor than Blessed, they can be worth buying if you decide to focus in some specific roles. Those armor will have the same runes as the standard one, and all Insignas replaced:
- Stormbound armor (+15 vs Lightning) for T3 (FoW)
- Earthbound armor (+15 vs Earth) for tanking Titans in DoA
Dhuum Armor
Dhuum's Judgment is Fire damage and rangers have very high base elemental armor, so in order to maximize PI damage rangers need to have a less than max armor for Dhuum. More specifically, it must be a 61-AL armor with Marksmanship headpiece (+1+3) and any 4 superior runes to have low health so you can die during the first Judgment and be back as a ghost quickly. Use Stalwart Insignias for defence against skeletons. Once you are a ghost, your health is fixed at 500, so having superior runes is no longer a risk.

Rangers should have the following headpieces, all with a Blessed Insigna:
- +1+3 Expertise as your standard headpiece
- +1 Expertise with a Blessed Rune and a Rune of Vitae as your high-hp headpiece. Whirling Defense is the only Expertise skill and has a long duration, so swapping to high hp headpiece has no drawback and can be life-saver.
- +1+3 Wilderness Survival headpiece for casting spirits such as Winnowing typically used by UW Terras (T1, [[T2 (UW)|T2).
- +1+3 Beast Mastery headpiece in case you need to bring Edge of Extinction.
- +1+3 Marksmanship headpiece to meet the requisite of your Bow. Can double as your Dhuum set headpiece.
- +3 Marksmanship armor piece to meet the requisite of your bow and still be able to use Whirling.
Weapons
- Sword/Axe/Spear of Enchanting with either +5e, 10% HCT or 10% HSR. Since the AI Update preference of Sword/Axe over spear has no impact on enemy AI.
- Staff of Enchanting as your high energy set. For general purposes an Insightful Staff of Enchanting with +5e^ench. If you are using HoS/DC constantly for running then you may want a Swift Staff of Enchanting with 10% HCT inscription.
- Zealous Daggers of Enchanting with a +5e inscription for energy
- Zealous Scythe of Enchanting with a +5e inscription for energy
- Customized Vampiric Flatbow of Enchanting with a +15% w/ench inscription. Used for pulling and damage whenever you don't have Honor on your build.
- Customized Vampiric q5/6 Daggers of Enchanting with a +15% w/ench inscription. Used for damage whenever you have Honor on your build. Required on T3 (UW).
