The answer?? an item that summons better arrows consuming regular player made arrows!!..or better yet a bow that blesses your arrows with aditional divine dmg
omg ...but of course thats not gona happen

Im thinking that all auto attack dependant classes need a + Base weapon dmg mod (sorta like what our epic does with distance..that directly modifies the weapon rating) to go along +ca dmg

Im sure with the next expansion we will be seeing some base weapon damage modifiers and maybe even a 5% flurry chance to our ranged auto attacks.

Lol you're sure? On what basis?

History indicates that they will implement new mechanics/bonuses, but many of them will be melee-only, or else the bow or ranger version will be horribly crippled in comparison.

I hope I'm wrong, but you're apparent optimism on the matter is just sickeningly naive.

Your pessimism is sickening, you think the rangers are red headed step childs =/

There is no where to go as a ranger at top end right now unless they either add flurry to our bows or a completely new mechanic for the next expansion, I would assume they would add flurry because thats easier then adding a new mechanic.

It might still be soe we are talking about but still.

Yeah sony is always to consumed with every other class to truly focus on the ranger, most people dont relize that it is in fact one of the most difficult classed to be truly amazing at, especially with all the crappy bows besides the myth its hard to find a truly great one. Hell, my two weapons at level 71 blow my bow out of the water, thats why im currently blademaster specced, i parse higher in straight up melee than range melee, with out any CAs of course.

BTW im looking forward to day 1 of next expansion...wait for a ww to start making lvl 80 arrows and parse better with just that change.....

What kind of retard statement is that? Did you give your post 5 seconds of thought before you made it?

If you're seriously that clueless, the only thing level 80 usable arrows (level 90 rated under the hidden arrow level rating system) will do is allow you to use level 90 bows without having your damage penalized, which it would be if you used the old ferrite arrows with level 90 bows. And if you're talking about the +damage thing on the arrows being higher, that's really quite trivial and is just part of scaling up bow damage appropriately to the new level cap; it's not like it's going to give rangers some new edge over anyone else.

I seriously hope no one is actually holding the retarded belief that higher level arrows inherently increase dps beyond the obvious fact that you need to use arrows rated at least as high level as your bow to not be penalized.
