>>What's wrong with having 390 ranks of evasion at 100?

I am not sure if this is a joke or not. I consider 5 ranks per circle to be the bare minimum for a Ranger as far as evasion goes, and my character is notoriously bad at defense. The sudden jump of 14 circles has messed me up, but I'll be correcting it before I do more circling.

Interesting info.

My boards have been boring lately I should come over here more often.

I thought I would see more longbow in the tops more often, unless I missed it in the other posts.

Update:

Notes:
Score is same (10 points for #1, 1 point for #10).
Count refers to how many times it shows up in top 10.
Count for All is short by 2, b/c of the silly people with tied skills. I gave half of each of the tied skills to the Score though, so it matches.
23 responses so far (RANGERS).

Things:
Perception is #1 so far (?!!?).
Still only the one person with escape as a top 10 survival.
I'm still the only one with Multi Opponent in my to 10 overall. =)
MD, AL, Vocals, Shield, LX, 2HE, SB are others that have only one representing.
Scouting is number 3. You guys/gals are insane. Or I suck.
Poor evasion is down to 5th. Ouch.
6 people with LB (I'm sure not one, it's well below my defenses).
Fun. More people please, nag your friends.

I don't even juggle really, i just learn it from trails. It's number 1 for me but i am still pretty little yet.

I was always pretty perception heavy. It was my way to counter to all the hiders. I focused mostly on evasion and perception back when I was younger. Spending much time standing around at the bank, when you could learn really well that way.

Then hiding became really useful, and sniping was released. Thus started my attempts to work more hiding.

Hiding, stalking, perception - this is a count of where they fall overall survival wise for the 23 we have, just showing it b/c of the discussion.

>I consider 5 ranks per circle to be the bare minimum for a Ranger as far as evasion goes, and my character is notoriously bad at defense. The sudden jump of 14 circles has messed me up

>This. I was so focused on getting the requisite 370 primary weapon to hit 100, I wasn't training defenses at all. What's funny though, My shield it 10 ranks higher than my evasion, and given skill-sets, that's sad. Power-circling leads to poorly trained characters, but that 100th benchmark was to tempting. Back to a more balance approach.

Oh, ok. I just looked at the ranger requirements at 100 and saw that primary survival needed to be 430 (old and new) while primary weapon needed to be 440 (old) and 370 (new). It didn't seem that far off to me.

Also, 5 ranks of evasion per circle, minimum? Those are some high standards.

I always tried to keep my personal requirements up around 7-8. It's more like 6-7 now though.

It's a primary defense. Might as well work it for all it's worth.

P.S Yes I was on a survival kick for a while.

lol, 7 perc per circle.

I wish. I'd go freakin nuts.

Yes, but you're still under 60th. As a secondary skill for you, once you're looking at needing 700 for 100th.. well, I wish you the best =)

I'm very sad. Not much longer before First Aid is long 4th :/

First Aid: 500 65% learning

Couple more weeks it will become 6th. Couple months it'll be 8th. /sad

Cabeyer, that's only top nine, willing to give the top 10 by chance? =)
