Not good for exping, because it takes forever

If you ever get a skydarkener....that will change. You will be able to quad kite sentient armors in wakening lands, or the entire forest in plane of mischief....or wyverns....really nice exps.

I could also hold down more ice giants in everfrost than a lot of others who were soloing them....so, even single target it wasn't shabby.

Do you realize how little dps those procs do? Do you want to spend 30 minutes killing 4 mobs?

I'm no archery fanatic, but you're wrong. I've been soloing all kinds of stuff mid-50's with tolans bracer+fleeting quiver+RBB+velium bow. Not good for exping, because it takes forever, but you can farm stuff you could never melee solo, with enough patience. If it roots and doesn't summon, I can kill it. Well, if I have kiting room, that is, it'd be tough in a dungeon. Tightest spot I've done was in Kedge vs. that fierce implaer in the first room.

Of course you can kill stuff with archery that doesn't summon. That doesn't change regardless of the dps it does. It just takes forever/is crazy boring/go level an enc or sham or druid or necro or any caster and kill said mob that way.

My main point about Ivory's nonesense isn't archery having some use for Rangers. It's when she's acting like it's viable method for dps, outside of trueshot, or that a sk kiting shit around with a 75 skill and a green con pet isn't the stupidest thing ever.

Can confirm. I use a Lumi staff to get a couple free shots in on suits when I am low on mana quadding. Lightning strike only does 3% damage to the suits.

Only one of us has actually tried these things. You haven't even seen it done in game....you got no idea what you are talking about :P

Maybe a few years ago when I was a nooby I would have said the same stuff? "Oh no, an sk with low archery cap and a green pet couldn't kill stuff. Would take forever"....but...fast forward to what I know today, and having actually tried it...and it is impressive.

((Also small secret, sub 20 it is insane....since archery bypasses low level damage caps......so you can hit for 30-50's at level 1 with a nice bow :P Pew pew pew! I might make an ogre newbie archer with max str some day and be the hero of gfay!! -thinks-))

Dare to dream!!!

Yea, no one said it was killing them as fast as a wizard quad kiting. The difference is a ranger doesn't need to med between fights....so over a stretch of time, the ranger pulls ahead (which is why I could easily clear the entire POM forest, while other soloers around couldn't).

Yah I guess it's decent at low levels. Why you'd waste 3k on an item that will be good til maybe 45 is beyond me tho.

You can just use it and resell it, it's not really wrong 3k
