Do people really have problems dueling? With a Ranger? I don't get that at all. Even before I had my mythical I had no problem with most people, and even the ones I considered tough were beatable the vast majority of the time. In fact, I typically don't use stun poisons (I have both types available) or any of my stun proc gear for dueling because it makes it entirely too boring. I don't mind losing occasionally.

Imo, healers pre RoK were the toughest (if you did not use stun poisons), since they mitigate so much damage and heal at PvE levels (plus poisons function and PvP (read nerfed) levels).

I am going to go out on a limb here, and I am not saying this to be offensive, but I think that most Rangers just are not that good at dueling. You always hear of X Ranger saying they own at dueling, but for the most part, you usually hear Ranger bashing when it comes to dueling...often from Rangers themselves. I am not trying to say I am a God at dueling or anything, but I have been the best in my guild for years now, and duel people outside my guild here and there, though I have not seen a good QH duel session in sometime now.

Anyways, until enough people of various classes beat me more than I can them, I will stick to Rangers are perfectly fine at dueling, probably even OP. (and absolutely OP with stun poisons/gear factored in)

Merkades, 80th Ranger.
Siege, Najena.

I've had a few losses, to a Swash because of his reach AA's, to an Inquis because they hurt, and to an Illy from crowd control. I can't recall any other losses, and had plenty of wins, so I'm not an asshurt Ranger whining about sucking at dueling.

I simply find that less restrictive area's, i.e. anything other than a confined ring like in dueling, make life that much easier. I mean, kiting > ^^^orange heroics heh.

Didn't find that quote in any update notes yet. Is this already live or just planned somewhere in the future?

Default Re: Gleaming strike

This thread was brought up in the ranger channel last night and I just wanted to point out that the changes to MC weapons won't be a boon to rangers at all. Archonix posted "The effects will only trigger off of melee attacks, melee combat arts (only for the primary weapon) and hostile damage spells. For melee attacks, the effect will only trigger for attacks made with the imbued weapon," on the official forums on 4/21.
