Since it's clear that rogues and rangers are equal in dps, what's the problem?
That's not true at all.
Ranger > rogue, only on proteus, necro
Rogue > ranger, everything else
Thats a statement that lacks any basis whatsoever.
It's proven time and time again on my server.
All these people claiming that rangers can outdps any equally geared rogue just have a plethora of mediocre rogues in their servers who probably refuse to spam their best dps skills.
I just find it ludicrous that people can just say that outright that rangers are better dps than rogues on the basis of proteus and Necro, those are only two bosses.
On Mord:
I've spammed double shot, used my two buffs right after they expired, used heroic hastes and attack elixirs, spammed pot to stay alive, using full EDL everything, shadow moon helm, skain blood set, reaper ring, mighty oblivion ring, 70 divine damage ring, 2 Royal hrung damage/attack.
vs
A rogue who spammed shadowstrike, sneaky attack, double attack, rend, assassinate, fully lixed, using full EDL everything, shadow secrets helm, Garanak blood set, reaper ring, an imperial emberdrake ring, 70 divine damage ring, imperial and Royal Hrung damage/attack.
And could never beat this equally geared rogue and some might say that I even had better gear than this rogue.
Now, think about the lower to midlevel rangers who have to use clairvoyant skills, rangers are the worst class to play until full DL.
Rangers and rogues are nowhere equal.
