Since every now and then there are people that couldn't make up their mind about their ARs, I would like to share my experience and ideas to them about the Arc Rangers. I only have been in celestia for more than a month but In any game I was always a Bow user so you can call me a Bow Lover :P and with this guide I hope I can help with others who also have a thing for Bows.
I. Why choose the arc ranger?
II. AR Paths

I. Why choose the Arc Ranger?
This class has the highest boost to a Bow user and most likely the perfect class to someone who loves range combat. The arc ranger has the highest range amongst all the class in Luna. Bow users can be squishy but with a good path, this class can offer you top class crit rate, crit damage and added the with their insane range, they can wash out opponents from afar without giving them a chance to fight back.
II. AR Paths
These are the 3 most used AR path. ARs even with a different path, have the same level of Bow mastery, LightEvasion, Magic Arrow, Fire Arrow, Zephyr etc. So most likely they just differ in the buffs.
Extortion (lvl 2) - increase 31% drop rate - 5 sec duration - 9 mins cooldown
Hunter's Blast (lvl 15) - 563 Power - 1.6 sec cast time - range 8 - 251 burn 12 sec
III. Some Stats Trivias
1 level = +1 strike / eva
Stats / Crafted / Philo
10 Dex = 1 strike
10 Dex = 1 eva
1 Dex = 1.4 crit rate
20 Str = 1 strike
Zephyr Dex
5 Dex = 1 Strike
5 Dex = 1 eva
1 Dex = 2.8 crit rate
IV. Str VS Dex
Str adds Patak and strike while Dex adds crit rate, strike, evasion and crit damage. Personally I would choose Dex over Str but it will be your choice since reset stats will always be available.
I myself conduct an experiment on my char with pure str and pure dex stats same equipment same level and self and pet buffs.
Pure Str
Magic Arrow Crit damage versus red turtles - 39k - 42k
Magic Arrow Crit damage to a fighter with 3.2k def - 10.5k
Pure Dex
Magic Arrow Crit damage versus red turtles - 38k - 41k
Magic Arrow Crit damage to a fighter with 3.2k def - 10.2k
V. Notes
1. Class bonuses doesn't apply here in Celestia Luna so choosing between ruffian / voyager wouldn't matter that much.
2. For easier leveling, I suggest you make yourself a buffer specifically an Elemental Master or Rune Master. They give movespeed, patack buffs like the bishops and an additional Crit damage and crit rate buffs that would really be helpful for Patak characters like AR.
3. Since this is my first time doing this kind of thing, If there are some questions/ clarifications / additional informations/ mistakes / violent reactions on what I wrote I would gladly want to hear it :)
