Spell Damage as a Ranger

Mingler · 05-21-2009, 06:51 AM

I"m trying to differentiate between the dps output of these two pieces.

Ravanger's Voidlink Spaulders
42str....20sta....15agi
3DA.....3RDA....30CA damage
Increase base CA damage by 8%

Soul Lancer's Spaulder's
42str.....25sta......15wis
+5dps...45CA and Spell damage
Increase base CA and Spell damage by 8%

I don't have the Ravanger's Spaulders so I can't compare myself.

I"m curently wearing the Soul Lancer's because added spell damage for (magic,divine etc...)procs and poisons. Correct choice?

Seems to be working for me. Added with the bloodthirsty choker I"m parsing 8.5k zone wide in SoH but I wonder how much the spell damage acually increases my dps. Anyone have any equations on this?
I"m leaving the 3set bonus proc out of the equation.

From the new Producer's Letter it seems like spell mod's of any kind will no longer matter to us from game update 52 and onwards.

We'll find out soon.

Predators will see a change to Toxic Expertise, The spell will now improve the base damage of poisons. We're also making adjustments to the Death Mark and Inspired Daring spell lines so that they trigger melee attacks instead of spell based attacks. This is to refocus the combat art back to improved poison damage, rather than the spell crit damage it has been doing.

from the producer.

Drop all your spell crit because it aint gonna matter anymore. I am also thinking the toxic expertise line will be changed to poison crit or poison base damage increaser now as well.

Right now: Soul lancers

In June: Ravagers

You dont have the ravagers so spend the time and get the shards for ravagers by the time the GU hits, then switch.
