Default ranged crit and da no strength

Why? I am making this post, not to inform rangers, (we all know all ranged gear has gimped stats) but to inform our developer.

Why does the majority of ranged crit and ranged DA gear have no strength or very low strength to their melee counterpart.

Example:

Coiled Shoulders +5 RC no strength
Mantle of Impetous Strike + 2 RDA no strength
SPiny Nettle BAnd +2 RC +12 str

If I put on all of my ranged crit gear my strength drops to 670. That was my strength back in KoS days.

Please consider adding strength to some of the ranged items available. Ranger strength is falling way behind the other melee scouts.

Agreed!

Heck, even our epic bow " Eagles Talon " has an attribute that adds normalized combat art damage based on 10% of our CURRENT STRENGTH!!!

/sigh

Default Re: ranged crit and da no strength

Ever since the IRC chat about how the dev is trying to fix stuff I just cant bring myself to complain about stuff anymore. The fixes sound to be good enough to put us where we need to be, and I think the hawk fix is kind of an apology for taking so long.

but, I always figured this lack of STR was their thing to hold back on for us, so that gear in the next expansion will have somewhere to go to(since obviously VP isn't where the better versions are), as well as keep our dps a little more in check. and I also think thats partly why most of the gear from harder zones and set gear is a little less than impressive, leaving room for growth. Which is planning a little to far ahead for them as things stand now.

People would always say "you're in the mage group where's your Wizard STR" which made me laugh because a Ranger and Wizard should share the same slot in a group not 2 different ones, imo at least.

I was at around 600 that seemed fine for me.

600 str or so seems to be tha maintainable level with the current itemization for all but the most geared rangers.

Ill take int anyday, Seb croaking dirk + int buffs are a fucking huge dps boost.

OK that is what I am currently at 689 (i think). Just want to make sure I am where most other rangers are.

Your higher than I am, keep in mind im not using the best gear out there, but at 80 with instanced/t1 raid gear you should be around 600.

300+ int is pretty sexy tho, expert caustics hits for 900+ and 1k+ with the SCD
