I swear by SF, always have and always will. Other than that I could see Briartwine (4% damage reflect) or Thunderhead (40% chance to stun every 60 sec) for PvP, but everything else is pretty much useless.
-
You're one up on me then. I've seen pieces for other classes, but I've yet to see the set blades for ranger off any boss. But then my luck has always been bad so that's only par for the course
-
As a PvP build this is more than satisfactory and would give you plenty of burst. I'd probably run with Blade Storm instead of lone wolf, but that's my preference. I agree with Crane, lose Electric Shot. It's a bad skill with no beneficial effects and even worse damage. Even with Master of Combat and Blade Storm it just…
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe there's a chance any one of them can drop it. It's rare, but still there. Either way I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it as the drop rate is reportedly atrociously low
-
Probably because the people who normally run that dungeon have moved on to higher levels. Besides you shouldn't waste your money on the T1 sets. T2 maybe, if you're having a hard time getting teams I could see that, but T1 is such a waste. Just do a week of GG runs and you'll have your Master Predator gear.
-
Yeah I gotta agree with Daimyo here, they're pretty worthless whichever way you go. I've run with both now and you will probably never see them proc. Choose whichever and move on
-
Yes it does. I've had two drops in the last three weeks. It's rough because it can give you any epic drop from the T1 sets or any T1/T2 accessory. I've noticed DD chests tend toward accessory drops instead of the armor set pieces. Just stick it out and you'll get it eventually
-
Easiest way would be to just buy CN weapons off the AH. They're just as good as the MC weapons and will easily take you to Dread. As for the armor if I remember correctly they're BoP, so you kind of have to run it to earn it. The recipe will come available after you pick up the first piece of the weapon. However you still…
-
Not in the way you might be thinking. Bosses and a few elites agree immune to this skill's interrupt effect, so in PvE the answer is a mixed yes and no. In PvP however it's a resounding YES! I recently add this to my PvP rotation on a whim and I'm not sure if I want to remove it. While it does cost AP and AP can be hard to…
-
-shrugs- to each their own man. If you like it and can make it work then go for it. I personally plan to stay away from it since even with a bind most people will just walk right out of it after one or two ticks. And with the new resilience stats it's going to be even harder to bind people in place long enough to get the…
-
If you use that RoA combo the mage needs only take two steps to the side to evade it. RoA in PvP is pretty much useless, so just stick to Fox Shift
-
No I'm saying you should log in, hit esc, go to settings, go to graphics settings, open the advanced menu and look around. If there's a setting causing this it would be in there. When I get home I can play with this a little more, but since I'm at work this is the best I can do for you
-
Nah it's nothing to do with your card. This is software behavior, so it's in the software that you need to look. It would be very specific too. This isn't a texture setting or AA modifier. It will say something like "dynamic animation" or "zoom/focus target lock"; something along those lines. It's probably not going to be…
-
I've never noticed this myself. I'd check your video setting when maintenance ends, maybe there's a setting in the advanced options ...
-
You would wager correctly ;). I love TC when I'm running archery stance EDIT: I am curious though as to why you took Retreat. I tested this out by shifting all over Protectors Spamclave and I didn't even twitch my AP bar. Thinking it had a combat requirement I took it into Dread Ring and ran myself almost dead trying to…
-
I favor StS for two reasons ... 1: It's free damage. In my case for every target struck that's an extra 3.8k damage that I didn't have to activate. Say the tank has 15 adds on him all striking once per second. That's 57,000 damage per second. Now there is of course a 5-target cap on this like all ranger AoE, but most pulls…
-
Actually you're only losing one slot. StS is a very powerful skill when used appropriately and Throw Caution should never be discounted (because who doesn't like 15% damage boost?). For a Hybrid or Combat build I'd agree the loss of the slots would hurt a little because your in-and-out style requires you to use multiple…
-
NOTE everything that follows is extremely rough, but the math is consistent. Take it with a grain of salt Okay, so let's say for arguments sake your Aimed Shot caps out at roughly 12k and your Rapid is around 3k. In the approximately 4 seconds it takes to fire Aimed you can launch 3-4 Rapid. Best case your Rapid is going…
-
This can change dramatically with party structure. Plague Fire and Terror enhancements, CW buff, GWF buff, even your own Pack buff all influence the damage. This can boost the damage of Aimed well beyond the range of Rapid, which is what makes it so powerful in party play. My own personal best is just over 53k on a buffed…
-
Kasenpoint also has a guide out there. It's a bit out of date at this point, but he covers a few things Voltomey doesn't. I used both of them for references when learning about my ranger and preferred play style. Just remember they are only guides, not manuals. Use them to get a better understanding of the class, then make…
-
Try this This one's all about making each shot count. You'll still swap to melee for buffs, but your primary damage is going to come from Rapid Shot and Encounters. - Correcting Aim is going to boost your critical rate by 5% every time you don't hit a critical. Combine this with Split the Sky for maximum critical chance…
-
For an archery build taking advantage of Prime Critical then Rapid Shot is the way to go. Damage is significantly lower, but the crit procs more than make up for it. For a hybrid or combat build Aimed is the better choice. Damage is higher, the DoT from melee is very powerful, and you don't have Prime Critical to make…
-
It's because bosses are supposed to be immune to all control and control effects. You can debuff their defense, you can debuff their power, but you can't Sunn, sleep, slow, you're not supposed to be able to root but rangers can for now (still waiting on that fix), and now you can't interrupt their dangerous abilities. I…
-
I don't like Thorn because it takes time to build up and if the boss moves it retargets onto the closest target instead of the one you want. Commanding is roughly the same damage boost, but it dumps it all at once and you don't have to worry about retargetting. It also lasts for 15 seconds, more than enough time to get…
-
That's exactly my issue lol. I've got skills I never use, including Disruptive, that just fill in to give me access to the ones I do. It would just be one of those "filler" skills that I only put just enough points into to open up the next tier. As for what is use instead ... yeah I got nothing. Maybe I'll put forest…
-
Not so. The majority of my kills come from opponents running away. And let me tell ya there's nothing more satisfying than watching a ranger ME away thinking he's out of range of my Aimed Shot, only to plug him square in the face when he lands. Then of course there's CWs. An extra 9' means I'm launching my MR before he's…
-
My boss setup is as follows: Hybrid Build At-Wills: Rapid Shot (no tank) or Aimed Shot (with tank), Split Shot Encounters: Marauder's, Rain of Arrows, Hindering Dailies: Forest Ghost, Disrupting Shot Features: Twin-Blade Storm, Aspect of the Pack (no other ranger) or Aspect of the Lone Wolf (two rangers) Rule #1 - Let the…

Or <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> it off lol

I like the Waters and Lantern. I'm trying to get the raven skull, but in the mean time I just run with the catalog. I think for stats the best would have to be Valindra's Crown (if you can get it) and Waters, but for active definitely the raven skull.
