Your not even listing all ranger skills,rangers have x2 attack also . BIASED
How come rangers have doubled attack? Steady isnt even close to double their attack.
Anyway, I completely agree except on one thing. U said this is meant to compare the two dps dealing classes in celtic heroes, but IMO and same goes for many others, if we should not go by equal dps to several classes, the crown should go to the crown-wearing-cant-stick-up-with-energy mage.
Although as for lvling, most ppl's lvling are expensive because they want higher dps, so they save on time and some xp's. Rangers who go with their crappy dps at mid-game lvls but high survivability use more xp's as well. Must say, that if u want fast and effective lvling while being cheap, get a steady druid partner and adjust ur build to lower survivability but enough for the druid to be able to keep up. When is that trick the best? IMO with mage-druid, since I do that, my mage alone at lvl 116 can go with much lower health, much higher dps than an average mage and use maxed Sacrifice and i lvl with a super knowledge elixir only, the druid as well, I dont die unless theres a mistake, and mistakes happen. Also due the very high focus i can have on him i have high energy pool (5.6k i think) and even a normal energy regen elix (the lowest tier one, lower than super) keeps my energy to full, but thats as a lvl 116 mage.
I did the same as a rogue, broke my met set, used high dps gear, used gear such as eng crown, at first used brace but decided to give it up for more dps and added energy regen elix and lvled with a druid. The druid healed, i took 5 mobs at once and used riposte, was easiest and fastest lvling ive ever had, and even tho i used heroic haste,super xp, and heroic eng, it was CHEAPER than using just super xp on my mage because i got twice as much xp (at higher lvl as well), thus lvling was cheaper and faster.
Overall, if rogues think their survivability is low, perhaps they should use items and skills that add to their survivability like most of ppl do with their classes, and adjust their vit. If u go with 10 vit, no health boosters and no armour boosters and go head-on, then dont expect not to die and blame it on lack of druids.
