How many ppl acutally respeced there rangers for the tempest enchanment line an found it worth it? I play a dex base TWF elf ranger an was thinking of respecing, my question was does it really make that much of a diff?
I am enjoying it on my ranger. He's 34 dex, 26 str. I like being able to move around with no attack penalty and attacking faster. Often I forget to drink a haste pot. Every quest I've taken him on in Mod 6, this ranger has been top of the kill count. I like it, but your mileage will vary. It's a big feat commitment, that is for sure.
Awesome stuff.
Like the previous poster says, while moving and not getting the -4/-4 is huge, especially on Elite. I notice the 10% increase but I did find some odd stuff in testing a multi-class build (seems slower for some reason than on my ranger... hidden ranger love?). Also, it is less noticeable (probably graphically) with Dwarven Axes and certain blunt weps.
Remember, we also have Tempest II coming. If scaled to 15% and +1 more AC (3 total) then it's a no brainer.
Not to mention hints that maybe Tempest II might be part of the path to bypass the base dex 19 required for STWF.Quote:

I just wish I could take it AND The Arcane Archer line... there would be no stopping Rangers at that point :D
Who can stop us now?Quote:

They added one to the first swing with a change to GTWF. So you chart should be...Quote:

SupTWF should add another +10 at the end: +0/+0, +0/+0, +5/+5, +10/+10, +10/+10/+10 (11 attacks!)
I'll take your word for it that the 10% speed increase works, but it's hard to tell.
The +2 AC doesn't seem to work though. Is that bugged?
As long as you are dual wielding, works fine for me on 2 diff toons.
