If it is written in all caps it must be true!!!

Well when you get all growed up you might do some ''proper'' damage with that Bow of yours.

All geared the big boys are critting close to the 400 mark. Some even Crit on a 13 ?!

However it's fairly obvious you like your toon so fair play to you.

Why arent you using a Paralyser ? An 11th lvl Ranger gets IPS

With that feat and the right Bow in your hands you are the most effective member of your group

11th level is where your AA is at its most powerful in comparison with the other classes

Unfortunately it goes down hill from their relatively speaking

You are gonna have to face up to the truth that a capped AA cannot match the DPS of a Barb or Sorc out of manyshot.

However that doesnt mean your AA is useless. Played properly you can still be worth your spot in the toughest of Epics.

The problem lies in the fact that a significant proportion of AA's arent played all that well. Hence the ''bad press'' and the declines for all

I used to do DPS like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

(is that getting old yet? I still find it funny)

These tunnel entrances are the perfect place for eny rangers to do heavy damge on melees until the melees can reach them - because the enemy rangers it on high cliffs (or something like that) which melees just can't instantly reach.

In the worst case, the "entrance" to the "cliff" is so that the melees need to run several kilometres (you know what i mean) until they finally find a ledge so that they can climb on the cliff.

Which gives the enemy rangers & casters more than enough time to mow down the melees - who then complain that they don't get healed enough, possibly.

This is the exact point where there is actual need for a ranger : To get other, enemy ranged "damage makers" (namely casters, too).

So far I only once played this quest with my guild mates (until heavy tirednees prevented me for pursueing the uest firther, because we live in entirely different time zones, but they already knew hat), and these tunnel entrances are the only place where there is real need for ranged party members.

In that quest, I took out an enemy red named ranger who was trying to kill the group's rogue who was trying to take out the traps there.

An rogue who is constantly pricked by enemy arrows just a) cannot concentrate in taking out a trap, b) is risking his life for others, c)needs to be constantly healed.

And this healing is missing in oher parts of the quest.

Simple solution : Taking out the enemy ranged damage-makers BEFORE they get a chance to wound the Rogue. It's as simple as that.

The result would be the Rogue having more than enough time to take out the trap afterwards, being in full control and full concentration, and doesn't need to be healed.

It's a matter of efficiency.

Actually, this is a matter of stone,paper,scissors.

[wax_on_wax_off]

I lol/grimace every time a low level ranger pew pews along with my artificer. The 10-1 kill count (in favour of my artificer) tells the story at the end of the quest.

I'm sure they'll start to catch up at level 10 or so, they might even have an edge for the glorious levels from 11 to 14 before I get IPS and Blade Barrier, then, well, it's all over, isn't it?

[Tajuh]

+1, would read again.

[Burtle]

+1, cuz you're cool like that, you ranger you!

How come your bow doesn't have a string? Rangers are as gimp as they come; I can tell you never had a barb. You’re little 137 crit is a joke. Rangers lack abilities, many shot has a 2 min cd and aside that they lack abilities like every other class in DDO. Oh wait maybe you can hit damage boost lol. Every other game I played represented archers better then DDO, I cannot understand why that is. A hunter is so much fun to play versus a ranger, they got abilities like a trap launcher, poison arrows, dots and evading maneuvers such as disengage, fain death to name a few it can also provide a group buff with true shot aura and hunting party. Please you DDO fan boys don’t get your panties wet over my comments. To me that class is a lot more playable then DDOs ranger and I think that is why there is such a dislike towards the class, it has nothing lacks real single target dps and most quests are not ranger friendly. Most people hate ranged rangers in the group because they end up chasing mobs, which they can't kill. SO you just keep telling yourself they are great if you say it enough times you'll actually start believing it.

NOPE LOL

I'm currently trying out an Artificer, and I must admit that the repeating crossbow impresses me very much.

I think I should give my Ranger the skill/feat/UMD/whatever to use it, too.

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

Rangers lack abilities,

They can heal themselves at one point.

They get "cure light wounds" from level 2 on, and from that on they get more healing spells in higher levels.

Which means that they don't need a healer. Not as much as melees do (except perhaps Paladins).


But what makes me kind of frightened in fact is that all other classes seem to be in a constant competition here about "who has got the bigger car", so to say. Car = DPS.

And that results in a deliberate attempt to "bad-mouth" all the other classes.

It results into prejudice and into some kind of bullying. "You're so gimp !" is like an outcry of someone who tries to bully someone else.

This is what makes me worried.

9/11.

Good subject, good presentation and nice upkeep. Thanks for the lols, well played :P
