hi all,
just had a status reset few days ago, now i can hit 193 aspd with my ranger, with self buffs and guarana candy/enrich potion/awakening potion.problem is, it seems i really cant hitlock on mvps, for more than a few seconds. the way i do is like this, after self buffing (imp. concantrate-wind walk-fear breeze-falcon eyes) and using potions, i put some distance between me and the mvp, probably around 11 cells, and then left click on it. am i missing something ? it seems it works on low level monsters, like bio 2 monsters, but not the mvps.

any input is appreciated, thanks.

Are you crit locking them? You need a mix of Crit and Auto Warg for it to give you the best effect.

mhm, im not sure how often i do a critical attack actually.none of my equipments give crit bonus, so i don't think its often.so, the problem is, you think, my non-critical attacks are missing ? and does this mean, i should not activate fear breeze while i mvp ? because i remember someone saying fear breeze attacks have the priority over the critical attacks.mhm, quite confusing.

also, here is my build, and the equipments i use for mvping;
str 1
agi 120
vit 44
int 22
dex 100
luk 90
level 145/50

incubus horn, demon mask combo,
+4 ww suit with luk +1 enchant,
+4 ww manteau with +4 agi, +6 flee, +3 luk,
+4 ww shoes with +1 agi, +1 dex enchant,
ww brooch, bradium kukre brooch.
+12 straight shooting elf

Requirement:
11+ cells away from the target. If they are within 10 cells of you, they will get Endure effect. If use RCX, keep the 9x9 cell green box on it helps you judge the distance. Make sure you rotate your camera to get as much vision as possible. Playing on a wide screen or taking advantage of the lower corners of the screen for extra vision helps a lot.

Preferred set up:
Have a horizontal/vertical line between you and the target.
193 Aspd will allow you to do it against all enemies but it is not necessary especially for the slower targets.

One VERY important thing:

Once you got the lock maintain the same ASPD till it dies!

Here's Clogon's tips for hitlocking. He's the best Ranger out there imo. I killed over 500 MvPs on my Ranger including tough ones like Kiel and Fallen Bishop using this tactic, so I will tell you IT WORKS!

No fancy gears needed. It's all about DISTANCE and adjusting/rotating your screen as much as possible to get the best vision.

So you activate fear breeze while hunting ? If its not too personal, please share your gears/build with us.Im especially interested in your enchants you have on your gears, because i'm farming mora coins for a time now, just to complete my own gears.And yes, i'm aware of that person and his excellent writings about ranger class, probably one of your older posts was the one who directed me to his writings.Its just iro gameplay is updated quite often and those writings were a bit old, so i had to ask to be sure if its my noobishness or the game mechanics.
