Hey ladies and gents,
I've been reading the forums and have been inspired to create another character along side my Whithil FOmar. I raised a Nidra for my FOmar so its only natural that I raise one for my Purplelum/Viridia (haven't decided yet) Ramarl. I was wondering, on top of posting what you consider to be the best mags and their uber-stats for the Ranger, is it possible if you can give me any suggestions regarding my Ramarl's mag.

Mags don't matter, only its stats do.
Pick any mag you like, and give it something like 5/125/70/0 or 5/115/80/0 for a Ranger.

I have one close to that. It has 25/130/40/5 Nidra. The mags do matter Kefka, you wnat one that will revive you so get another nidra. Nidras Rule.
Look For FaboCraven in PSOBB, i need friends

If you have either a Humar or an android you wouldn't want a Nidra, Sato, and maybe a Bhima because of the specials they do at the full PB, 1/10 HP, and Boss fights. Rukmin also has a reputation for not reviving you alot, if ever. It'd also be better to go for a 1st degree special mag rather than a 3rd one, because it'd be alot easier to raise. The mags you get on the way to level 200 are also important because you don't want to learn the wrong moves (namely, Liella, Golla, and Farlla).
For mag stats, my Ramarl has a 5/140/50/5 and it works very well. It was originally used by my Ramar, and it has served my Fomar and Humar very well, a good all-around mag (but not for Fonewearls).
Too legit to quit.

First off: for the ten million and seventh time, Rukmin DOES revive you. I have all rare mags but Sato, Deva, and Bhima, and all revive me at about the same frequency when I die.
Second: The pure-power-mag thing is still overrated, IMO. Give me a character with decent stats all around - even if this takes away from another stat a bit, oh well. People I've met... online and off... I swear, the running trend is perfection, or near to it. Personally, I'm not interested. My RAmar's current mag is 55/65/35/45, but I've decided to raise him a new one with 30/100/40/30. I figured that 40 is enough to max out his ATA at level 200. My standard setup is 30/90/50/30, or 30/120/50/0 for androids.
Third: Kefka... why 70 or 80 DEX for a ranger's mag? When I checked out my RAmar and RAmarl in the character manager, I figured that I could max out my RAmar's ATA with 40 DEX and my RAmarl's with 50. Are you suggesting maxing out ATA before 200? I dunno, I'd personally never do something like that... sorta wastes level-ups (which is the other reason some of my early mags will eventually be retired when I finish raising their replacements).

I find it curious to why you would say such a thing. I thought that the mag's abilities ( full bar,1/10hp,boss) would be an essential asset to a ranger's arsenal. A mag like Rati would be useful due to its S/D+Reverser abilities. Nitra is also cool for ranger like Ramarl because she can already cast 20th lvl S/D, so invinsiblity can be useful under close-range curcumstances. Thanks alot for the feedback thus far. I'm begining to narrow it down (perhaps 5/145/50/0) but I would like to hear some more before investing time mag raising (oh the torture of it all).
On a quick side note, I know its been mentioned through out other forums but I have to ask. Which would you choose for a Ramarl: Viridia, Purplelum, or Whithil? There are the only ones I'm considering. Thanks again.

No, really, mags don't matter.
10 seconds of invincibility, S/D Lv 6 or a very weak Resta, all the same crap to me.
Go for looks, pick one you like, and it will be fine.
And yes, 70 or 80 DEX is better, it's not like your character is gonna be Lv 200 in a week or so, there are 199 levels to worry about before you get to 200, and RAmarl has average ATA growth, so the DEX boost will do her good. By the time you're Lv 140 or 150, you will have to change your mag, but it's a long way from there, let alone Lv 200.

I dunno, I've never had accuracy problems with either of my Ultimate-level rangers.
As for the bonuses... meh, they're all equally good. My biggest mistake so far is to not raise my HUmar's mag with a twins blast... thus his only S/D time is when his Rati decides to cast it. The Resta isn't too bad IMO; since it only comes when you're at 1/10 HP, it's like revival help instead of total revival (I cast Resta by reflex almost every time I get up, anyway, so it's like double Resta). Although for a RAmarl it probably wouldn't be as useful as it would be to a RAmar or HUmar.
D3COY: Depends on what you have already. If you have NONE of those IDs, nor Greenill, then go with Purplenum, or perhaps Viridia. If you already have those IDs covered, go with Whitill.

Yes really, mags might not matter but their trinkets can get you out of binds sometimes. I repeat, sometimes. As for their S/D, my group always donates and stack PB for greater effect. I do admit that my party consist mainly of androids and rarely have a single force, so its usually up to me to quick set S/D/J/Z/R and the mags boost up is a welcome relief. And please do not take offense, we are all gamers here and its alway good to have questions (pro or against) to really gain a greater understanding of the situation. It is that reason that I am glad you responded Kefka, I've read some of your posts and have learned to appreciate your knowledge about PSO and their rangers. As I stated before, I was "curious" about what you had to say about it. That is why I asked. Back to the subject.

I do not have none and I'm planning to take her straight to ultimate (no patience for multiple characters). LOL, so I'm still in my pridicament. Which is it? As for getting another mag at another level, that is out of the question. I don't wish to raise another one so this is a one shot deal.Thanks guys and gals. Keep those post coming.
