both of our rangers top the parse at about 3-3.5k just about every fight.. so predators > rogue. But Lorak and Celer parse right behind them...which are both swashies

I'm guessing that's a joke or a comment adding on to help my rangers dps and have him parse 5k with pets named after him.

Or if you are accusing my summoners naming their pets after Azleya then you are a total moron. Go watch our Mayong video. After seeing a ranger parse 3k on contested mayong (even with him dieing). 3.5k zonewides shouldn't be that hard to believe.

If you are an assassin, and leading the parses for your guild. Then you don't have a ranger, or you have a shitty one.

Default Re: Why are Predators even in the Game?

In every MMO that I have played there is always a class that if you never brought it along it wouldnt really change much. Predators are such because they are simply pure DPS. My guild has started killing avatars in the last month or so, the assassins are pretty much always sat in favor of AE DPS class. Once we get them down it wont really matter. In every MMO I have played the class that was considered pure DPS always ended up on the short bus because they just weren't that popular when it came to NEEDED classes, which I think is what Stinkfinger is getting at. If you had no predators you could still do everything in the game fairly easily, whereas having no brigand, makes things harder. Still doable of course but definately harder and theres no reason to not have one.

My guilds its Ranger, Assassin (2) Necro usually as top 4. It will vary based on group setup and encounter type but overall thats pretty much the layout. In stacked groups Im out DPSing the rogues by 500+ easy and the ranger is higher still. Lately when I raid I want to be done as soon as possible so I can go do something else so having the most DPS possible is the way to go, so thats your reason to have predators right there.

In stacked groups there is absolutely no reason besides lack of player ability that the Predators should not be owning the parse. Its a lot easier for rangers since the %hit of arrows gives them a big advantage in any group. Assassins need more help group buff wise, but are still completely capable of putting up huge numbers.

Ive never seen an assassin or a rogue parse over a ranger. Im not talking about the same guild. Im talking about ww . so , therefore pred> rogue.
