Celtic Heroes

I'm debating whether or not to switch from maxed sharp to maxed double. Double has more damage, and never misses. Sharp has a faster cooldown, insta cast, but gets evaded pretty frequently. I'm not sure about energy cost, because all I did was test double on dummies at lvl 1.

Wow that's a tough question! I guess it's all about opinion and your build. If you can plz let me know what your build is that is the desiring factor because it's all about ur stats that make you skills better not just skill points

I'm currently a higher dex hybrid build because of a quiver I just got. I intend to keep putting points into strength. My stats are as follows:
Strength: 95
Dexterity: 245
Focus: 30
Vitality: 165

Gear:
Golden Helm of Intensity (selling soon to buy Hero gloves) will be replaced with Lunar Hood
Lunar boots
Lunar gloves (to be replaced with hero gloves)
Warden BP
Warden greaves (one yellow rem of stars away from completion)
Warden Bow (just the diamond crystal horn left for meteoric bow)
Golden Ice Quiver
2 3 pierce braces
Greater Icerock Talisman
Royal Longshot Ring
Greater Longshot Ring
Fabled Light Heal Ring
Grand Barbed Shot Ring
And Royal Def Spikes ring that I'm not using atm

Skills:
Light Heal 23/20
Longshot 20/20
Sharp Shot 20/20
Bolas 20/20
Barbed Shot 20/20

Well I think that pretty much describes my character lol. I intend to keep adding strength until 90, I might rebirth at 90 to have:
120 strength
230 dexterity
30 focus
170 vitality

I tested both of these skills at 35/35 level ... (As well as long shot, too) ...

Sharpshot was able to delivery more damage over time ... (Tested on 163s in tunnels) ...

I use speed gloves for a 30% boost ...

But all else stayed the same ... Same stats, same gear, only changed skills points.

In short, i no longer use double or long shot ... Sharp shot still our best of these three according to my test.

I am just a simple ranger from Crom ... :-))

what gear and build do you have? I am interested in sharp shot also bc I am about to get dragon gloves.

I wear the 160 level gear and bow ...

Have bought several of the new 150 lux rings but only wear two ... For the evades...

I tend to favor the DPS build for ranger and at this level i use a blanaced build to solo ...

With our DPS nerfed so bad, little has helped, but i now am at ...

S 272
D 450
F 130
V 350

I moved points from Dex into str and vit ... There is a point where adding more dex does not get you back the same as at lower levels of the stat, i think it is more of a cube root function kind af changes...

For example if i pump 700 points into dex you would think things would be better, but not really. After 450 or so, it seems you dont get that much more.

I added str to help with damage, added rings for attack and defense and avoids, and increased vit to 350 to withstand troll clubs, lol.

Not sure if this really answers your question, hope so.

I'm running with three dps skills

Longshot
Doubleshot
Sharpshot

Also have bolas and light heal

If you set longshot and doubleshot to the level mobs you're fighting instead of maxing it out you can afford to run three dps plus bolas and heal

Currently I bolas, longshot and doubleshot to lvl 110 or 115 mobs, have sharp at 28/25 and heal about 410... Think heal is at 23/25 due to not quite enough points to spread about... But ur heal doesn't have to fill your hp in one heal...

I was actually thinking of needing bolas or light heal to run barbed too... Always loved that skill (double log with Druid while lvling)

Double shot is damage based so the higher your damage the more damage the skill does. imo dont run double shot unless your using an auto build, purely because there are better skills out there if using dex build.

Thanks for all the help! I guess sharp and long it is

If you're lucky enough to have a Ymir bow, and are fast enough to swap weapons quickly, try switching to a ymir bow quickly before using double shot. you'll probably want to switch back for all other attacks though. The reason is that double shot and double attack do not factor in the speed of your weapon for casting time
