Yea you doing all that swapping and i just walk in and hit with cek sword and kill it and faster. if i have a med a sec more cool. hard pass on whatever all this is.

Remember that faster kill times do not always equate to more kills per hour when soloing. A wizard is the easiest example of this. Ice comet is 186 DPS, but you are going to spend a lot of time meditating if all you are doing is spamming Ice Comet.

Kills per hour is a balance of kill speed and recovery time, as I showed in my previous post:

My example didn't include any swapping. Just auto attack with Earthcaller + Whip and you should take less damage on average than with Cek Sword, after you include the faster kill times of Cek Sword. This is with the specific example given of a level 37 mob of course.

This guy has been on 7 raids. I think we should hear him out.

But seriously, I got a Meljeldin 100% on the advice of Ripqozko here years ago and it's the best weapon. It's super high QoL for 1-click primal 2h -> Meljeldin swap. And the damage is great. I have so many neat 1-handers I permanently bagged after I got this sword.

Tytos still had the receipts for his claims and DSM did the math. If yall would rather just auto attack and don't care that's cool, you don't have to be dicks.

My typical setup is Aary Shield/EC to begin with. I swap out the shield after losing 100hp for whip. After EC proc, I put whip in mainhand and put claw in offhand. After losing more hp, I swap my first golden loop for a Dragon Blood Earring, then I swap the second for the Thuderforged Earring, so I get more dex. Then after more hp loss, I swap my 20 dex bp for my fungi. I feel like you have to min/max like crazy to fully optimise playing a ranger, but it’s fun as hell.

You know the robe takes like 3,000 kills to get, right? This sounds ridiculously awful. So anyways, I turned on auto attack. Sometimes cast greater healing.

That's how they act unfortunately. They have been on tons of raids, and still don't seem to understand the basic concept that recovery times play a role in how many kills per hour you can get. One day they might figure it out.

They do understand, they are just lazy and would rather afk with the downtime. Same with complaining about swaps which is funny because this game requires probably 99% less apm than any modern game.

Doesn’t make their choices the most optimal route though.

Lol indeed. I am just responding in kind to their silly attacks against me.

Some people prefer laziniess over optimization. There are some cases where I do this as well.

But auto attacking with EC + Whip isn't more effort than auto atracking with Cek Sword. Swapping to primal once every few minutes is easy either way.
