Rangers , Rogues Crits when?

Archery is not viable dps until Velious at the earliest, and even then, only with /disc trueshot active. It doesn't become a full-time form of dps until Luclin with AA.

/disc trueshot, tolan's bracer, and double-damage to stationary mobs were all Kunark. What'd we get in Velious that made it more viable than in Kunark? I can't remember. The next big step forward for archery was clearly AM3/EQ in Luclin as you mentioned.

Velious finally started giving rangers decent bow ratios, ones that weren't like 20 delay which gave incredibly horrible damage bonus. Not that it made rangers overpowered top dps class like Luclin but atleast it made them start to lose the DT class tag slightly...

Trueshot/WS were both Velious. Hybrids only had fearless/resistant as discs in Kunark. Also, Tolan's bracer, while an awesome utility item, produces fairly low damage arrows. They aren't ideal for dpsing.

Wow, you're right. Coulda sworn it was Kunark but I just looked it up. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyway, I mentioned Tolan's bracer because it was the precursor to the Endless Quiver AA and at least made archery somewhat viable for anything without having to fletch huge amounts of arrows all the time.
