Any chance that Rangers will get un-nerfed any time soon? • Our DPS is abysmal. • Sniper Shot is always blocked. • Exploit Weakness works only 10% of the time. • Dagger Storm has a casting time, whereas Unda Arcanus Spiritus does not. • Ranger Master spells are almost non-existent. Just a few problems from the many plaguing us.
so doing 10-25 billion damage with dagger storm isn't good enough? or 22 billion with sniper shot? all masters are rare, man
What do you consider abysmal dps? Compared to your toon last year, compared to other rangers, or other toons in general? My weakness hits almost 100% of the time when I actually get to hit it. My trouble with it is that lag usually gets me by the time the trigger goes off, the "window" has already expired for it. Just curious as too why yours is blocked. Mine was consistently double hitting for decent damage. Yes dagger storm has a casting time as it should, it hits much harder than unda majority of the time. Who can find masters, they are all rare because they want you to pay for the research upgrades. Perhaps post some of your parses showing what you cast in different encounters and we can see if their is any advice we can give. Could be something very simple that is just takes someone else to see to help.
Thats a lot of griping with absolutely no Stats or skill info , I generally parse 4th -5th . Cant touch sins and our warlock and a necro are beast. There are so many factors affecting DPS beside the obvious, For one do you have Accuracy and strike through at 100% if not well yea. low potency and CB will hurt your DPS a lot.
Potency and Crit bonus hugely impact the amount of damage we do as does the tier of the combat art. My sniper shot does not get blocked and can hit for over 60 billion. My exploit weakness hits big when I actually pay attention to it. . I'm 3rd - 5th on our raid parses. Rangers dps is far from abysmal. We have been nerfed in the past, yes. Makeshift Arrow took a big blow at the end of last expac. Daggerstorm also took a big hit. I'm still not happy about that, especially after seeing all the love the assassin and swashy got this expac.
You do understand the plethora of factors that determine how well your Ranger does right? Maybe you need to redo your AA or maybe your gear needs a do-over. I could go on but if you are not happy with your Ranger then abandon it and move on to something you will like. As for me, I LOVE my ranger. She is almost always the last woman standing in a group. That means she is doing her job! These kids today want everything handed to them. In my day we worked for what we got! Now go out and work it!
all classes have the same stat influences. if only rangers have a reason to complain, I might find this intriguing, love my ranger
The eternal game of mourning with the rangers. Actually the ranger should be the counterpart to assassin. Both are T1 dps classes. Rangers should do more AE damage and sin should do more single target damage. In this expansion the ranger can also do good single target dmg but only with etherealist. His own combat arts are are far too low 60 billions are nothing against a 400-600 billion hit from the sin. Even my ether shadow assassin does not hit so hard. Maybe its ok because he should not do the same single target dps like a sin but its not ok that a T2 class like swashy easily outparsing him on AE encounter. In my opinion they should overhaul the sniper squad to close the gap. Besides its a joke that the same spell looks different in all classes. The high amount of dagger storm on swashy is a mess.
Melfius, your StrikeThrough = 0 (Chance to ignore your targets Parry, Riposite, Block). Should see if a bit of reforging helps those Block issues.
