Rangers, Rapid Shot

[Semitry]

I assume they have KC, However KC rng w/ club merits haidate etc, can outparse most people, even in burn pts ;x

(You dont shoot)

If they had KC, they'd outparse ridill wars too save KRT, and in thickets, mire by a lot.

Unfortunately I can't answer the questions, but my 3 main jobs are nin, rdm, rng in that order. Nin merits are useless and i've finished rdm merits so I will cap rapid shot and snap shot next..

Sure, rng is not the best damage dealer in typical TP burn setups, but it makes war/mnk/nin look retarded in burst damage situations. Last Dynamis Lord I did around 10,500 dmg as rng/war, may have even out damaged the drk w/ kraken. The people who say level monk or war now are the same people who said level rng back when everyone else was doing it. They probably also let other people tell them what kind of music to listen to as well...

This is true, its even funnier that some peoeple take so much pride in playing the 'better jobs' and go out of their way to put down 'weaker jobs', however its all out of their hands. If SE nerfs a 'better job', their up becomes down and their down becomes up, they either quit or completely isolate the job. Don't forget most jobs are so popular because people tell sheep(read: gil buyers) which are the better jobs.

First:

wow, there are still people playing rng after the nerf?

Yes, and there are still DRGs, and PUPs, and BSTs. And people do Sea, and people do quests with small rewards, and not everyone is an elitist asshole despite being experienced enough to be one.

Well said, seriously why do people beat the dead horses so much here. Adding lol in front of a job, item, etc got old after the first thousand times it was used. Come up with somthing else.

I love it! I don't even know this guy!

Second:
BRP and Co. served Mifaco and Sons.

Many people might go lolRNG but fact is there are still a ton of things that a RNG can do that other jobs cannot.

[Sonomaa]

sea seems to enjoy rangers, on high kited mobs they can stand stationary and put on good DOT, having the ability to also make a strong light with thf (the job that can never not go to something) makes it really useful

and shadowbind, oh god shadowbind, when sea gods go rampant, the the bind must not be broken

But it always is

[Rafaras]

I agree. RNG is still a kickass job and can accomplish stuff most jobs cannot.

No Ranger's out there have any clue about Rapid Shot?

[Nixeh]

i'm taru rng 64 (onry) with good gears (STR,E.BoW,...), and so far, i can't see a WAR,DRK, MNK owning me in parse. WS @600-1100 on VT-IT mobs & store tp @120-150 with /nin, building tp so fast >.<; Rng just still ownz, Yeah ToAU zone got a lot of flying mobs, rng are boosted on those, but everybody exp there now >.>

Only pussies ppl who can't move 7.8 distance back are still saying RNG suck after nerf, try it, RNG is so fun.

You are the winner.

this made me laugh my ass off.

i'm tired of missing.

Friend was actually considering trying a Rapid shot build with all the new merits along with gear to see if it would work out. Haste build is pretty damn nice for nin and war, might be respectable for rng. Would be interested in some raw #'s.

From what I hear and basic knowledge, its not worth it. Haste is great it speeds the swings up alot, Double Attack is great it gives you just another swing basically, Rapid Shot is crap...it cuts a few delay off your shots because you still need to do the whole shooting animation.

[Ghostface]

No Ranger's out there have any clue about Snap Shot?

Just like it says, 2% delay reduction on ranged attacks fulltime. So fully merited it's like 6% ranged attack haste.

[KarateMaster]

Meant Rapid Shot*

I just love it when people try and act like forcing you to stand 7ish distance away from the mob isn't a nerf.

I guarantee if BLMs got nerfed so they had to stand 8 distance away from the mob to deal DMG the entire game would shutdown as Fafnir spun right round baby right round.

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

I dont think anyone denies its a nerf anymore, but it didnt nerf them into uselessness like people think. IMO it was too strong of a nerf but RNG is still damned good, its just now hard to use.

fixed.

rofl, I never really thought about it that way.

A good ranger will not parse as well as a good mnk/nin/war in a TP burn pt.. that's just the way it is.. but so what? Is it really that big of a deal to get 11.5k an hour instead of 12k, or whatever kind of loss a rng in the party would make? It really doesn't matter and this forum may produce some interesting ranger info if not for the herd of sheep trying to reproduce this played out elitest attitude thats become the new medium for BG posting..

New? This is how BG has always been. These SOBs are part of the reason I have problems getting into HNMlses is because of how BG decided DRK is lolDRK. Its just how its done around here, get used to it or gtfo
