why does 5 feats in bow do less dps than 0 in melee?

[kernal42]

Rangers should have to choose whether their going to be melee or Ranged rangers and only get the feats related to that because when a ranged feat makes a melee toon better there's a problem....actually IIRC that's how it works in PnP (but i haven't played 3.5 in over a decade so yeah)

Your'e right that P&P works this way; you're wrong (IMO) that DDO should work this way.

The only appealing aspect of playing a ranger is to have the ability to use both archery and TWF effectively.
