You dont use the AA CA's much? I find i actually completely run out of CAs sometimes, I think i spam more than some, i definately get my AAs in though. In heroic groups i run out of mana quicker than msot rangers too. I think i try too hard or something

I never said I don't use them.

I use my hawk, hit focus aim, hit repeating arrows and then play Mirror's Edge on Xbox 360.

After that, HO combo to bloody reminder, then FA, then AA... and goes from there.

You motherfucker!

Make sure to use longstab+every stealth art cept fittest survival(unless more than 1 mob in aoe range) and LS+kunark and LS+stealth whenever u can and then LS+ comb strike if none of those are up. I greatly avoid using spy as it generates no dps to get you into stealth and will usually lower the dps for your stealth attack than you could be getting with another melee ca. I'm very open to suggestions, and i'm looking around and adjusting things for this.

What about rear shot? or combustion strike?

Heather/Ranger · 11-16-2008, 10:29 AM

What should a ranger be parsing using this combo? A ranger with all VP gear (using Ik sleeves from fens dom), 36 percent RDA (solo buffed), 70 % RC...

Can you give me an idea say from the training wall using that combo ..no avatar loot though but with the stats I mentioned above?

Just curious cuz I tried ur combo on the wall and parsed alot higher. also when do u incorporate rear shot?

Thanks

I posted a parse from todays vp raid, i have 32 rda and 62 rc solo and dead eye mantle and i do up to 7500 in raids on some fights, u have way better gear than me so hehe.

Depends on the fight heather. Vp trash I did 7.8 before Tso kit zw. And I prolly hae better gear than you. Also depends if you have an illu and dirge vs illu troub or.. what ur group is. IA from illu will always add a huge amount to your parse, as well as a dirge. I was paring about 6k zw's on vp trash before i had most of my gear.

OK, question based on one of the casting orders I saw.

I have heard arguments both ways on Pred AA choice, but I will ask it again.

For the most DPS would it be better to take End of line for STR or INT. I know Intox is a powerful DoT, but having Sniper available sooner, and hitting for more, sure is nice too.

I am currently running STR, but have INT on my AA mirror.

Thoughts?

speedycerv · 01-28-2009, 06:53 PM

Int endline ususally is the way to go. Perfectionist effects sniper and shower of arrows, that's it. So it's really only useful in the slightest if you have multi- mob encounter, and shower of arrows is doing a huge amount of your dps, and over a long period of time so the recast for it actually matters if it's reduced.

To answer Heather, you work in rear shot during FA if u can, and comb strike after ranged cas are used and arrow tear was used (assuming u have 5 points in it for shadow aas)
