There are many ways to build a character. For rangers, you can opt for a Strength-based toon that uses two-weapons. Another option, which is the more Mabinogi online gold basic, is the dexterity-based dual-wielding ranger.
In this article, the focus is on creating a strength-based Elven Ranger. This build is more commonly known as the Tempest Ranger. The stats you start with (including feats and enhancements) are those that are required to get the Ranger Tempest I enhancement.
It is for this reason that you need to pay particularly close attention when choosing a feat. Ranger Tempest is an enhancement under the category Ranger: Specialty. It grants a stacking bonus to dual wield attack speed and a +2 bonus to armor class while dual wielding.
As strength determines the damage bonus for every hit, this particular ranger build can deal good damage making it a formidable melee and can actually be a frontline combatant if the situation calls for it. The ability to be effective in ranging can suffer a bit because of the relatively low dexterity score.
The Wisdom score is also quite low but it is enough to get a decent amount of spell points to buff party members with necessary spells like Bark Skin, Jump, Resists, or Protection. Will saves will also suffer a bit because of the low Wisdom score.
