Earthcaller vs Swarmcaller

[Snaggles]

I haven’t parsed a woodsman with capped haste but expect it’s still solid at 60. Probably not far off a SBOZ/Swift. That and a swarmcaller is a nice quick swap for the budget player.

Yeah for 90% of players a woodsmans staff and swarmcaller is all you ever really need. Swarmcaller alone opens up lots of small group options that don't involve a shaman or enchanter.

Could a Ranger solo with those?

Yes. You’ll want the swarmcaller to help at the higher levels. Prioritize Fungi/haste/slow in that order.

I soloed to 58 with a woodsman, COCW, no fungi. No sky cloak.

You can def melee solo to 60. Root joust a Swarmcaller until it procs then switch to your dps setup. A 2h doesn’t lose as much dps while nuking between swings either. Even Firestrike chained is 65dps alone. Let alone like Call of Flame or Calefaction.

Really best thing is to find a palatable mob and bow rot it. Earthshaker, SCHW’s and fleeting quiver with Tolan arrows is not horridly bad with a 30dmg+ bow. Unless you’re killing Geos.

But just a swarmcaller plus a healer and a dps is fairy efficient. In like the Hole a ranger could easily step in for a tank. Over time the proc is definitely saving mana.
