Is Tigeraptor armor worth the price for a Ranger?

[Loadsamoney]

What I'm saying is, if I'm going to put in the work/money to get Swiftwind, I'm going all the way for Earthcaller too. I'm not just gonna stop at Swiftwind.

You asked if those if they were “worth the price”.

It depends. Most gear decisions are subjective. Supply and demand dictates that they are indeed “worth it”. People buy them all the time.

The real question is “should you buy them”.

Qualifying factors:
* Do you have the means?
* Are resources best spent elsewhere (hence my weapon question)?
* Are the alternatives even an option? (Non raiders don’t get raid loot, if you aren’t level 46 you can’t get epics even if you have the 200,000 plat)
* Even if you provide us specifics (level, current gear, goals, etc) are you looking for advice or just support of what you have already decided on?

A ranger will rarely be a tank; it’s not ideal. They are a dps with utility buffs who often pulls. Once you meet those goals you should worry about the secondary ones.

As for a bard that’s a bit different. They are a caster who wears plate, they don’t dps but they do CC and pull. Hit points are great but going back to the top of this response: It depends. What instruments do you have? What are your resists like? Most bards would be better served with blue diamond bracelets. Bards (like rangers) who get rooted die. Bards that get feared stop singing songs. So pump that MR...

Note: In efforts to offer feedback On a multi-faceted question in less than 2000 words some of these are assumptions or generalizations. I don’t intend to get in a bard debate and certainly won’t put up much of a fight [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I do have the means, I can make about 3kpp a day if I push for it. They would only be temporary if I do get them though, Thurgadin Bracers and Ice Forged Shackles would eventually replace them, and then they'd go to the next alt for twinking purposes.

If you get 3k a day farming paineel guards it won’t matter. You will be in the high 40’s forever and sanity will have crept from your psyche. As a howling insane banshee the pixels will barely satiate you.

I’ve leveled two toons to 60 in HK, without the dopamine drip of exp it’s the slowest pace in the game.

Level up and don’t fixate on this crap. Make good decisions and practice your skills. Also if you want to farm with a melee weapons, haste and regen will actively speed up the farm. Better yet reroll a necro or enchanter.

I can get good exp if I have access to the full Palace camp, with 5-6 mobs every 24 minutes. My intention now is to take Paineel to 50, do JBoots and then transfer and start my Ranger. I can still do Paineel leveling after that when I don't feel like playing my alt, mixing the Captain into the rotation.

Plat outweighs exp for me. I want both, obviously, but I have to choose between a great camp that gets me a level every 8 hours but no money, and a camp that gets me a level every 40 hours but good money, I'll take the latter.

Hey, you do you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Whatever makes you happy.
