IIRC Rip uses https://wiki.project1999.com/Meljeldin,_Bane_of_Giants which is supposed to be the best parsing weapon for rangers in this era.
FWIW - The de facto casual setup is Swiftblade of Zek mainhand and Swiftwind offhand. Going to be hard pressed to find a tradeable 2hander that parses better than those two together (AT LEVEL 60). So a lot of this depends on what haste you are using, what haste spell you have available, and what weapons are available to you. Ripqozko has pretty great gear and a lot of experience, so his setup is definitely something to aspire to. | ||

Mathematical ratio before Dmg Bonus:
14/28 .50 Silken whip 11/25 .44 green jade broadsword 31/42. .7380 springwood 31/35. .8857 woodsman 16.6% better ratio Even accounting for the mainhand damage bonus at level 39 for 1h it’s 4 and for the Springwood it’s 7. That means the delay silken whip is .1428 delay/second where the Springwood is only .1666. At 60 the 1h goes to 11 and the Springwood to 34. In short 2h at the low levels is more hit and miss, or at least high vs low. Later your minimum hit is still fairly decent and the ratios are significantly better than even the best 1h weapons. The woodsman or an exquisite 2h is going to offer significantly better performance for the money. I expect a SBoZ and Swiftwind will edge it out in the mid 50’s but it won’t be a blow-out defeat due to what’s happened in the last big 2h patch. Scaling 2h damage bonus is a big deal. A few thoughts: * Simple bias: you tend to remember the good and bad fights. 1h hits are closer in spread so you won’t fixate in them as much. Over time ratio averages better but our minds don’t parse like computers weighing hours of melee hits and making rational judgement. * Sample size: A few kills either way can confirm bias but aren’t necessarily accurate. * Hit tracking/fearing: If you are fearing the cougars it’s more likely to whiff due to client lag with a slow 2h. 1h’s give you numerical feedback and it’s easier to track where the npc is. At least for me sometimes. * Level: Perhaps a lazy closer but at 39 I wouldn’t form firm opinions of specific setups. Your class will evolve a lot as will the gear. Upgrade for fun and survival but be careful in locking up opinions this early. Even at 60 there is a lot of bias and tropes to unpack…as you can see on the forums [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As for endgame 2h vs 1h if you are just talking taking a ranger (or any melee) up a notch performance wise 2h is very strong. You also just need one fairly casual drop (Gozzrem for example) whereas often a DW kit is many times the dkp. My cek 2h seems to parse 7-10% higher than my Silver Whip or Rage and Claw or Lightning. On vindi with VoG the best I’ve done DW besides the BFG is 64dps. I was able to do 71dps with the cek with shiss and a spiked seahorse belt. Granted a Kreizzen or Baton of Flame is better so it might close the gap a bit. In the end a ToV/PoG equipped melee who hunts down buffs and tries hard will notably outperform a casual geared character (often via the tryhard part). Whether 1hs or 2h the tier is bumped up. I still think a SBoZ/Swiftwind ranger can put down a very solid performance with some parse luck. Given a wide enough sample though (I like to combine parses for a night’s performance) they should fall behind a bit. | ||
