Sounds like Earthshaker futures are going to the moon.

*Looking at your signature with your ranger on red...

On the PVP server red; maybe but good luck finding one for sale when they are pretty hard to find even on Blue. Look at the last time one sold on Blue from p99 wiki and consider the mob it drops from.

And then come to the realization that Earthshaker (70) delay is not even HALF the delay of the weighted Axe (150). Truly at least on the blue and green server a ranger double attacking, self buffed weapon proc and kick is going to do arguably more damage than a ranger doing double bow damage attacks on a raid mob. I just wish Trueshot wasn’t on such a bad cool down.

But again I have to stress look at the rangers talking about their archery damage on the ZAM post about the Exquisite Reinforced Velium Bow before Luclin came out. Ranger bow damage on P99 isn’t anything like that.

And the biggest insult an iksar monk with Grandmaster bracer that summons free shurikens has a better chance to experience this “range damage” increase with a 60 delay weapon you merely ASK for from an NPC. See hammer of exonerated

This ranged damage issue is more of a concern on PVP red server due to the way most players don’t gear to combat this type of attack. And how easy it is to get the weighted axe as an Ogre or Troll warrior/Shadow knight.
