Re: New AA's?
Thats teh thing in Nagafen Str is lot more important, due to Perfectionist.
As far as Raid dps, i know how powerfull Ranged Auto attack can be, but only because rangers have some stuff tailored to them.
They have lots of buffs that buffs haste and whole lot of DPS for them, and Insane ammount of Crit chance.
While ours only buffs DPS (not talking about Honed reflexes).
On top of that there offensive stance procs of ranged attacks, while the Assasin offensive stance procs of melee attacks.
Therefore lets say you have a similar high end bows as your ranger does, His ranged auto attacks are gona fire much faster and much harded than yours.
While you are gona try to fire off those ranged auto attacks and CAs that are gona hit for very low or moderate dmg(but nothing compared to rangers), even with the crits and poise. You are gona miss a whole lot of procs and melee autos.
On top of the offensive stance procs there exists in game 10 times more items that procs of melee hits compared to ranged.
You are just gona miss to much dps in procs while trying to joust to use ranged, man.
I am sure with the lot of high delay melee weapons available in game now, your melee autos with duel wield will do about enough dps to stay on par with some of the top rangers ranged autos.
And lets talk about AOE fights, looking at SOE's predictable bevhaviour while designing Raid encounters you know that once u get moderatly deep into the expansion and get some decent gear and grp setup(with enough AOE avoidance), Most Aoes are not even gona make any impact if u get hit by it or not...
If you still believe that much in Ranged as an assasin, then Str-Int-end and AGi- ranged crit is way better than Agi-wis-int.
I would just not waste my time casting Ranged combat arts as an assasin even with poise period.
