Oh and the spell nature walkers behest selling for 500pp LOL. It's a worthless druid pet!

This spell is far from useless. While the pet is a super low level and not good for combat, you can easily use it to pet track raid targets, which is what I use it for mostly now. However, when I was quadding I would frequently cast my pet, park it in a safe area, and use it as a mana battery by having a mage focus item with the ability to instant click "Reclaim Energy."

I still wouldn't buy it even for pet tracking. Just get a ranger to track raid mobs and call him a pet. Won't cost 500 PP lol

The only thing off the top of my head is the woodsman staff. I was using search here to see what a good ranger weapon would be and I found a ton of threads talking about how a woodsman staff was the best bang for the buck weapon a ranger can get at only 100-200 PP.

Then I go to EC tunnel and see they are selling for 4K PP. YIKES, those threads were a bit outdated I guess. It doesn't even have any stats and is 2H blunt so it prevents you from having stats in your secondary slot. No thanks.

Both of those things are super useful and not overpriced at all. Hard to imagine someone fucking up this thread but here we are.

I wouldn't consider either super useful. Woodsman staff has great damage/delay which is why I was excited when I thought I could get it for 200PP. But at 4K it's over priced. Why do I think that?

Natures wrath is 100 PP.

29/44 +4 wis +20 mana with effect: natures wrath.

Not as good as 31/35 but its not bad at all and the stats are nice to have along with the effect you can start using at lvl 46. Now factor in the price difference and there you go.

So don't get so touchy because my option doesn't exactly match yours. It's ok to disagree.

Woodsman staff dps wise is just below the ranger epic... For 4k...

I read that too in those threads. I just wonder why it was 100-200 PP for so long and then jumped to 4K. I grouped with a lot of rangers in MM, CoM and KC. Almost all of them were sporting two swords that were not epics. Now maybe it's just a fashion thing. 2 swords does look cooler then a big stick for sure.

the staff of the wood man dude come on. just an excellent weapon, stable price and very affordable. has absolutely nothing to do in this thread ^^; oh well.

"what weapon(s) do you feel are overpriced in today's market?"

That's quoted from the title of this thread. So yeah, my opinion on a weapon I think is over priced has something to do with the thread. In fact it has everything to do with it.

Allow me to expose my colon once again.
Dead wrong on woodsman staff, but high 5 for the In Living Color quote

Show's my age, lol. I was wondering if anyone would get that. And I am not wrong on the woodsman staff for two reasons.

1). I hardly ever see any rangers running around with a 2HB. That doesn't mean they don't have one in a bag or in the bank but it seems to me that all the 20+ rangers I run into are sporting either two swords or one sword and a 1HB with a bow in the range slot.

2). Opinion's can't be wrong by the very definition of the word opinion. They can agree with yours or disagree with yours but they can't be wrong.
