Will Ranger Capstone Stop the Ranged DPS Hate?

I'd say it's situational depending on the attributes of the target.

The W/P stun is great, but if something has twice as much con as strength or dex, it might be best to damage a different stat for the faster auto-crit.

This statement is true although dex is not a very feasible option without a better crit ranged weapon that does dex damage (maces for instance only crit on 20). As I pointed out in my post as well not everybody in a party will necessarily be pierce specced and if a situation arises where everybody need to use the same stat damage time weakening may be better.

It would be so boring to play with anyone with your mindset. "ONLY ONE WAY TO GO." Its a good thing so few listen to people on this forum who use math as the only source of information. This is NOT pnp. there are many player skill dynamics and monster types and other random situations involved that can EASILY make a weapon type preferable over another. EVERYTHING in DDO is situational... including w/p and w/e.

You cant even pay attention to the conversation. The post you replied to was discussing RANGED.

Yes ignore math and reality this is a fantasy game after all.

a pure ranged ranger that used a repeater and a manyshot when available could do respectable dps.

Especially a lit2 repeater with arcane archer force arrows?or flaming arrows.

ive never seen anyone use manyshot with a repeater, pretty sure you cant.

hmm i thought it was obvious that you would use the repeater and switch to a bow to use manyshot when it was available since manyshot is a bow only feat.
