Or…switch to BFG whenever and disc (HIGH dps)
Good info thanks.

Sub-question: BFG sounds fun. I'm concerned they may not be planks left on the server.

How must-have is a BFG for a Ranger?

If they merge green more will be available. There are a few now on blue and they are like 120-150k I think. I got mine for 60k a couple years ago.

It’s really just more utility. As a normal weapon if you keep making and feeding it Tolan arrows it performs like a 11/18-12/18 seemingly if stuff isn’t rooted or fleeing. You get double damage and crits. On disc it’s basically double-damage for 2 mins (10-12k or so). A long fight much of that advantage disappears.

We did a Faydedar the other say. It was another quick fight (1.5mins). With shiss, wolf form, and 8dmg arrows I did 107dps. A top tier rogue did 157 lol. But I expect I still did about twice what the average ranger would have. Or 30% more than a ToV geared one.

It’s really just more fun. And they don’t drop so I’d rather spend the plat on that MQ than a Earthcaller. You will definitely get one of those if you keep at it! It’s a time locked server.

It's only way to achieve rogue dps, if that is your goal. Ranger still has utility without, but part of their job is killing in raids.

I was basing my DPS opinions of weapons from the Wiki's damage/delay sorting...

Turns out that doesn't tell the whole story.

So ideally, I would want to mainhand SBOZ and offhand Swiftwind or something.

I probably won't use Slow unless soloing or small man (without a slower).

In those niche occasions, I can just pull out the Swarmcaller until it procs.

Earthcaller MQ is much costlier than the Swiftwind MQ, huh?

That's understandable! I used to do the same until someone filled me in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Yeah SBoZ is a great mainhand to pair with Swiftwind if you have the plat. There are also a good number of ntov 1handers should you get into raiding.

Earthcaller is definitely a niche use sort of thing, I agree. It IS cool to be able to pull out in low-man and "omg everyone who can slow try to slow mob X" situations. A ranger slowed Cekenar for us a couple of weeks back, and it was very helpful.

And yes, unfortunately Earthcaller MQ is very pricey (at least it seems that way to me as someone who is always broke [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]). That said, lots of guilds kill hate minis pretty regularly, and I believe most have tracker bots you can log into to help spot/phone them, so getting the SEOC as a drop is a doable, if frustrating, thing with many guilds.

Earthcaller MQ is Innoruuk’s heart. Don’t get a heart of a god cheap!

Also for some reason his minions are carrying around his heart instead of dropping it himself now. It is much rarer after being moved to the minis despite the change being made to remove roadblocks.
