So this thread was an absolute waste of time.

As compared to your serious no-nonsense EQ business?

I liked this thread and I especially enjoyed Ivory's enthusiasm. He made some bold statements, but I am betting the people who doubt him haven't actually tried what he has done.
I like when people challenge themselves in this game and try new things. Making a point to visit zones they've never been to, do quests they've never done, play a class they've never played, and even some more creative and challenging scenarios.

OK gentlemen

we have determined there is now such thing as a (roleplay) ogre ranger, by only using green armor and a bow.

What other roleplay classes are there and could I think I would like to play one.. but idk what etoeher combos could you make that would be fun to RP and annoy other players with?

1. Ogre Ranger (only bow, green or dyed green armor only)
2. ?
3. ??
4. ???
5. ????
6. ?????

The only gnome SK in the game - a bertoxx cleric who spams the initiate symbol clicky (disease cloud) and melees things to death. If anyone asks about the complete heals, just say that you have a lot of reapers of the dead in your bags. Get a staff of discord to make it look like you have a painbringer's rod. Insist on tanking in every group.

Stationary targets will mitigate 50% archery damage across all classes I believe. Double damage can still occur for a ranger on a stationary target, but in that case it will just be doing normal damage.

Edit: Apparently double dmg on stationaries is a feature of Trueshot for rangers, should be working as intended on P99. Also worth noting that Trueshot has a 2-minute duration.

Dang so there is no actual added damage multiplier for pewing stationary mobs that you cant achieve by kiting it?

So aside from trueshot a crippling bowshot will be the biggest hit?

Im leaning more towards war now if this is the case.

I'm not entirely sure on the mechanics here, but it sounds like Trueshot simply negates the intrinsic 50% damage mitigation you normally get when shooting stationary mobs with a bow. Archery nerds may want to weigh in.

A double damage, critical Trueshot hit will be the biggest - the multipliers will stack. A non-Trueshot, double damage critical hit will still be bigger than a warrior's crippling blow. I'd bet my life that even without Trueshot, ranger archery will still greatly out damage a warrior's with equal stats & gear.

Also, proc-snaring stuff as a warrior would be a total pain in the ass. Archery sucks in EQ, but it sucks the least for rangers.
