Ranger Archery Damage

[Denizen]

Remember Rangers...Make them great again

[Denizen]

Doleamite group and auras doing everything to add to his damage. He makes it into DPS class but....

185k

Druid Donor BP Clicked
SK Death March
Bard Singing her heart out
Shammy clicking epic
Beast Lord buffs RK III

Still a long way from Zerkers, Rogues, Wizards... IMHO should be among them

Well how far it is? Next reboot we can adjust the archery damage modifier again.

Are you clicking the legs? That seems low to me for some reason. Personally, with that gear and that setup (druid BP /drool), if you added enchanter spasm/overbearing power and clicked legs I'd expect a ranger to hit 400kdps (in max DPS mode.)

(for comparison/balance purposes) In the same setup with druid BP and spasm, a rank 3 necro pet with donor necro 1.0 weapon buff would break 100 pretty easily. In a similar raid setting without druid BP that rk3 pet is already putting out 75k on t9 bosses.

Dps test - rank 3 donor sune buffs - 5 mins versus t1 parser dummy - no debuffs - rogue, monk, zerker have donor leg buff, ranger does not. Monk/Rogue dual wield donors, Zerker has donor v2, Ranger Donor bow/arrows, Warrior upgrade DSk3 weapon + donor v2

Nilbie (rogue) - 43146
Khaltos (monk) - 26504
Likeatruck (zerker) - 23550
Ziknaf (Warrior) - 13484
Missus (Ranger) - 11648

From Gamparse - 34% of khaltos, 11% of liketruck, 13% of Nilbie was from procs/direct dmg. So figure bumping archery dmg another 50% (to in theory bring them to 16k in that scenario) should be more in line

[Rude]

Another 50% sounds like a reasonable bump to test out

I have never messed around with ranger but does anyone know if archery gets effected by worn melee bonus just as ferocity for double atk? They are competing with dual wielding quad attacking twin procing madness and if archery can not gain all of those extra effects then ramping up its dmg would be the next best thing to get them back in line.

I know a lot of people really love the ranger class so im glad to see this happening.

There was a fairly old (The Darkened Sea) AA on live called Trick Shot that had an archery "double attack" chance, but it hasn't yet been translated to Emu.

[Denizen]

Doleamite managed to score 190k with a bard in group this morning after the reboot. This compares favorably with Boosted's (zerker) who is similarly attired...BP, Legs, Donor Weapon.

Thanks, I think rangers may once again start populating the forest ....

Today -

Nilbie -42635
Khaltos - 27760
Likeatruck-24783
Missus - 13927
Ziknaf - 12642

Either I had some bad luck or the increase wasn't as dramatic as last time. I'll run it again later. But at least the ranger outdamaged the warrior this time.
