Does a Ranger out dps a Warrior?

[Fanguru]

My bad, got confused with call of earth castable on tanks and the clicky call of fire gloves from luclin.
Still, it's not something rangers will use on raids.

Rangers can outdamage a warrior in groups if they nuke (and the war isn't in perma berserk mode) and have c2/bard song. At 60 it's almost +20 dps sustained, if mobs aren't resistant and there's not 100% fighting uptime.

Otherwise rangers really can't compete as far as pure melee dps goes. Higher skillcaps, crits, and triple attack will keep warriors ahead.

The Velious patch that puts ranger skillcaps equal to warriors will probably put them at ~90-95% of warrior dps.

The late Velious patch that gives rangers an innate atk boost should put them about equal to warriors.

This is all out the window on fights when warriors can use precision.

I agree. We are not talking a Day and Night difference on them until Warriors get triple attack. They skill caps are not that far apart. And a Ranger can use one hell of a lot of weapons Warriors use. But I still say they suck as Tanks healing them wise. A mana sieve. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is triple attack that big? Never parsed it, here or on live. I thought it was like a 10% fire rate on a successful double. So decent, but not HUGE.

Warriors going to rek dmg parses in velious unless precision is nerfed. The longer the fight goes the more rogues fall off vs wars

Is say closer to 40%
