Hi, I'm a lvl 140 ranger ATM and I have something to say about spikes... I tried spikes the other day, maxed at 30 but with +7 aggra ring, royal, grand and fabled, which adds to 49/30. Tbh I went over to the ember ponies and it was only doing about 80. I was thinking to my self, c'mon that's a wasted alt book. Spikes isn't worth investing in...

It sounds like you are expecting spike to produce numbers like fire cloak. Besides that, I agree with elim. When I train at the wyverns we have a support mage who cast ass and fire lure and cloak. I use spikes and with the everyone doing dps, we kill the wyverns in like 10 seconds. They are meant to compliment damage, not replace it.That being said, the few extra 100 points of damage is outstanding.

spikes. no way it did 18 dmg
my ranger is lvl 80 dex build so i changed to steady but i have grand ring so at 24/20 it did 30-50 dmg to red eyes (no lure)
barbed lasts for 15 secs, and spikes is better for ow bosses but totaly not with entangle
ow bosses atk very fast, which means more dmg (mostly than barbed)
faster mob = more dmg
my friend has magical charm of claws (+10 spikes) and grand ring and hes lvl 151 with high dex, it does for him around 80 dmg (i think, if i remember he said around 100+ at cata)

Spikes arent fire cloak. They don't replace damage, they compliment it. They also work best when used with cloak and serious dps. Otherwise, why would players like me and elim use them?
