Is Tigeraptor armor worth the price for a Ranger?

Yes you usually want the faster weapon main hand, unless the slower weapon has a significant ratio advantage.

For off hand, ratio is all that really matters. It doesn't matter how hard it hits or how fast it swings, ratio is king.

So Earthcaller (0.583) should probably be in the main hand (especially for its proc), and Swiftwind (0.619) in the off hand.

Well, you don't get to choose: Earthcaller is primary only and Swiftwind is secondary only.

Heh, wow. All this time I thought Swiftwind was the one meant for the main hand.

What does Tigeraptor armor look like anyway? I haven't seen a picture of it on the wiki, I assume it's just basic leather with some tinted color.

If you look at the Fashion/Appearance section at the bottom you can get the overall look (but with other, blue, armor). You can then click the Category:Fashion:_Burnt_Orange link to see the correct tint.

Unfortunately no one has uploaded any exact screenshots of Tigeraptor armor, so that's as close as we have.

Eww...not sure about burnt orange. I like the dark blue that Black Pantherskin has.

The only consideration I have for the Tigeraptor set is if I buy the entire 13-piece set with two bracers. I'd use everything except the belt, replaced with Sash of the Dragonborn, until I eventually get my Epic, and swap the belt back in. But by then I'd probably have Thurgadin armor anyway.

If I recall the BP is orange as is the boots. Not sure on bracers or Helm. Legs and arms are black velious leather.

The set looks really good. Main problem is it doesn’t give you much ac or hps, just a splatter of random melee skills. Agility and dex? Thanks a lot...

Really though it’s midrange stuff. By the time you have a Swiftwind you will be likely past it. Dragon armor, thurg quest, etc. But the time you have an Earthcaller (I mean, if since they are like 200k) you will be far past it.

You could get to 60 in banded with good weapons and haste. The only Bp that matters unless your picking from NTOV or have a set of SS/Kael quest armor is a fungi. With chloro and Skin like Nature that’s 27hps/tick extra standing regen. Arguably a fungi is still better for most things than quested Velious armor but it looks marginal to stupid depending on race (green trees on a wood elf, lol).

Note: the only dark blue is on a half elf. Crystal chitin armor has the default velious plate look. Dark Scale greaves and arms are dark green/gunmetal classic plate. A full set of Paineel Steel is stat-less but is classic grey plate. Not a bad route if you have decent weapons, haste, and stats in the non-visible areas. Again, looking cool is the ranger prime objective.

I mean, tigeraptors are orange, what did you expect lol

How much are you expecting to spend here? Is thurg armor that much more expensive? Tigeraptor looks (statwise) like druid armor to me, I'd never wear it on my ranger.

[Loadsamoney]

I'll farm Thurg armor myself, so likely it won't cost much, unless I can't farm the gems solo.

Does Venril Sathirs Pulsing Stone really cost 200k still?

[Kirdan]

I don't follow blue MQ prices, but I'm quite certain the most expensive part of the ranger epic is Shattered Emerald of Corruption from Plane of Hate.
