    A great ranger will surpass their damage easily w/ a kc, TRUST ME.

    I don't personally know about a KC rng in TP burn, but I know rng/war survivability sucks and do you step back to shoot sidewinders? Because chasing mobs around when they go after the rng is pretty annoying..

    I'd love to pt with a KC rng who knew his limits and knew how to WS to kill the mob.. I have no doubt damage would own..

    I'm sure someone has a parse... theres enough rngs out there with krakens heh. If I had one i'd prob sell it (Thats why i'd borrow and not get one myself ;x)

    just a guess but a kc ranger is probably going to opt for gun/xbow + slugshot because they don't have to stand as far like they do with a bow and risk pingponging the mob.

    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
    That darn BG, they're responsible for all of the world's ills. I heard that they control the weather and wrote the screenplay for Glitter!

    And crossroads. Dont forget crossroads.

    Anyways, I was just telling the truth. A leader basically cited BG as why they don't use DRKs. If it wasnt BG it would be somewhere else though. Its not like you guys planned it, its what fame does.

    Ranger IS gimped, but SE helped alot by making Mire and half of Thickets peircing damage. Now a days a Rng can outparse a War or Mnk unless the war has a Ridill and the mnk has a Black belt and other dream items. KC rng I can't comment on but I have heard lots of good things about it. Ridill Ranger I can imagine is very good but no one beleives it anymore.

    No offense but I think thats an ingorant statement. The "nerf" Elimanted most the RMT rangers, and I have the Screenshots to prove it. A rng/war will beat out a Ranger/nin with any setup. Its just no where near the same, and heres some food for thought. Granted in short term exp parties you wont outparse warriors anymore who have Ridills and Kraken's but I guarantee you, you wont nearly get the kind of damage that makes even spending ammo worthwhile.

    This kirin was recent, maybe a month or so ago.

    The Screenshots below are, yes Caedarva, however they are all /war, just to proove that meat and war sub make a huge difference. And to proove there is no nerf.

    DRK can outparse every other job because a SA WS on Boreal Hound will do a really, really big number.
