to what end though? is all this minutia going to actually affect viability?

will it be the difference between soloing something and not?

In every case without expendables or outside buffs/heals my self buffed 3100 hp ranger could solo a geonid. I expect without a slow landing, the EC/Whip could have failed that or gotten very close, as the Baton/Claw almost did once (I was a couple hits from death).

The harder the mob and longer the fight, the more slow proc is a necessary thing, by Swarmcaller or EC. If pushing the limits it’s your HP pool and dps vs theirs. If a ranger doesn’t want to cheat to win, and are reliant on exchanging hits, the cards aren’t in their favor like some other classes.

For the record…rangers shouldn’t be soloing geos for exp. It’s a rather painful process even if you have solid gear.
