Let's talk about Ranger

[Marcicus]

What were you using that couldn't allow you to break 1k on Behemoth? >_>

lol the first time someone puts up some numbers with the proper perspective and you guys make fun of his gear

This is BG. Did you miss the memo?

To clarify I'm sure if i setup gear for dmg i could do much more, but I believe in ACC and tend to setup more for 4/4 hits for 1k then 2/4 hits for 2k + slower tp build time. And yes my gear is not the best and the reason is this, 75nin, 75rng, 60 goldsmithing and i don't buy gil(and i am NOT accusing anyone of buying gil). I've never been in a HNMLS that does more the sky/sea, my LS just started doing ground about a month ago. My gear i was wearing during that sidewinder is fire staff/axe grip, s bow, demon arrow, wyvern helm NQ, breeze Gorget, fenrir earring, suppa, Hunter's Jerkin, S kote, behemoth ring, rajas ring, ame + 1, RK belt + 2, galliard trousers, and rutter sabatons. And in the above posts defense he wasnt making fun of my gear he was just asking why I had trouble breaking 1k. archery merits 5/8 as well. I hate lvling and I have terrible luck with drops/bcnms. The most gil I've ever had at one time was like 3M back when 3M wasn't much.

edit: O bow with darksteel sorry, not S bow marksmanship merits 2/8
S bow i always hit about 1.2k on Behemoth didn't get try it on Behemoth

it was 100% expected, just pointing out the absurdity of it

edit: what i mean is that everyone else just pulling numbers out of their ass (i.e. 'i was doing 700-1.1k before and 900-1.5k now' which tells us nothing about gear differences between now and then, what they were hitting, whether thats high/low or average) and someone comes saying they have the same gear hitting the same mob and the difference is x (relevant data) and the first thing to do on BG is knock him lol

Yeah. I know. No need defending what you said or anything. It's not like it really matters to me. My Ranger isn't even 75. I just felt like being an ass. =P Anyway, continue on with the topic.

yeah, me neither i need some 'peanut gallery' comments every once in a while 8)

Yea, I dunno. Preupdate, the one and only time i did Behemoth on ranger I hit a 1.7k+ slug using Obow. I dont remotely consider myself a pimp ranger either. Behemoth shouldn't really qualify as a HNM. I dont doubt I could get a merit pt set up and break 2k on my thief.

More SS on real hnms though!

[ByeByeTasai]

also would like to add when i hit this today...
sushi for food
no bard in party
mages were afk so no DIA
and i left my acid bolts in MH cause i was in a hurry

And i don't consider Behemoth HNM either, but he is definately an end-game activity, i don't see any lvl 65 alliances trying to take him and the question that made me post this was...

Any info on the performance of RNGs on some endgame mobs?

FYI: I have more money invested in NIN, but I have 1M in ninja gear on AH right now. My LS has too many ninjas as is and I'm liking the changes so much that I want to Focus on RNG only untill its complete

Fuuuuuuuuuuck I just quit the game and this happens. Well I guess I'm glad now that I let a friend hold the account, I'm gonna try ranger out tomorrow.

[MrGroundhog]

and i just sold my rng gear a few days before this update...

[Starr]

DL/Baha dmg please!

[Keston]

So just wondering... I have Snapshot 3/3, and Recycle 3/3 (hi2u cheapness... save it), my Q is: so does Snapshot 3/3 (-6% delay reduction), plus the 15% faster ranged attack from Velocity Shot... equal something close to 21% RA Haste? Or does it work another way.
