Does a Ranger out dps a Warrior?

[koros]

Rangers can outdamage a warrior in groups if they nuke (and the war isn't in perma berserk mode) and have c2/bard song. At 60 it's almost +20 dps sustained, if mobs aren't resistant and there's not 100% fighting uptime.

Otherwise rangers really can't compete as far as pure melee dps goes. Higher skillcaps, crits, and triple attack will keep warriors ahead.

The Velious patch that puts ranger skillcaps equal to warriors will probably put them at ~90-95% of warrior dps.

The late Velious patch that gives rangers an innate atk boost should put them about equal to warriors.

This is all out the window on fights when warriors can use precision.
