I agree. If you gathered up an equal number of rogues and rangers and averaged their dps rogues are much higher.

I still think it’s good to try and do your best with any class. Monks have had a chip on their shoulder trying to beat rogues for 20 years. I’ll take that chip any day if the net positive is trying to improve. It feels good to make an AoW parse with a ranger even if top #15 and sending people spinning with insecurity.

I’ve enjoyed collecting various combinations. The 2h path is really good and crazy cheap. It’s probably the safest way as well since timing jolts is a breeze and enrage isn’t as dangerous.

I’m definitely grabbing a braid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Bag space management is the worst part of this game.

Literally all problems a ranger faces can be solved by shouting, "Behold!" and linking Meljeldin, Bane of the Giants. Then swinging Meljeldin, Bane of the Giants at the aforementioned problem.

rangers with disc are top dps in kael and its not even close. Will probably get better with the archery fix.

Leave it to Cecily to join a thread discussing ranger dps and try and make it about rogues... <eyeroll>

Rng is a better abbreviation than rog in what is essentially a dressed up dice game.

Well that's why you spend a year of your life playing a dead game really hard to get items to help improve those odds. What is it? Like 63 atk from rangers? Great class.
