Re: Hi - Rangers & Kills

Target lock only made the rogue burst dps a much bigger advantage.

Str ranger already has sharpen and steady active - boss spawns you hit rapid and land your first auto

Rogue has no buffs needed - boss spawns and you land an auto, shadow strike, quick strike in the same time.

Now the ranger may have an auto 10-20% higher but will do probably 1/3 to 1/4 the damage. The newer instant damage Amy's don't make things much more even as the biggest users seem to be rogues.

Given large groups on harder bosses or smaller groups on easier bosses this means even if the average dps is the same rogues will lock it and everyone else is sol. Only on the very toughest bosses does target lock give enough time for rangers and slower classes with good overall dps like mages or Druids a chance to even out the lag.

I have dex equipment , cuz its most fun.

Problem is as described before: 99% people who get kill do not stop for ansecond to not damage boss. Why most people think its a fair dps fight (almost all the time it isnt), who gets kill usually means whos the most selfish player on the battlefield.

He who boasts of a boss kill, at fight thats not setup to be a dps competition from the get go, have always been a petpeave of mine. Getting boss kill means nothing........nothing but you did the most damage....but at whos expense?

For EG bosses the kills are largely determined by what a particular boss is vulnerable to. Rangers get the kill nearly every time on necro. We also fair well on Gron. Mages are far superior on the current 200 event boss and onyx. Rogues nearly always get the kill on mordy, flappy, and phantom.

I can only assume bosses have varying skill evasions and resistances. Just know as a ranger you aren't getting most kills. But we do hold our own. However, we could really use another useful damage skill. Or heck just something else worth putting points in.

Finally, there is no point in going dex at EG as a ranger. You can utilize a semi hybrid role but anything that doesn't prioritize base damage is largely a waste.

I think 185 is slightly more of a fair kill, although I havent got one on main. Got one on event main.... Just one, and it'll forever be just one.
