Default Ranger Weaponry

Is Woodsman's Staff still the best thing you can get pre-epic in the 50s?

If not, I'm looking for replacement weapons. I've got about 25k to spend.

Or should I just save up for RBB until I get epic?

Exquisite Velium Battle Axe and the Claidhmore have basically the same ratio as the woodsman if you don't mind spending a bunch extra for them or if not using retarded 2hb animation is important to you.

Otherwise, probably better just saving for the RBB and using Woodsman.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

I don't mind the animation, I'm always in Wolf Form outdoors anyways.

Wurmslayer + Green Jade Axe wouldn't outperform Woodsman's Staff?

In pure min/max, you will not outperform woodsman's staff with Kunark gear, unless you get swiftwind.
That being said, wurmslayer + green jade axe is good enough.
You could also swap wurmslayer with lupine dagger pre-56 for the atk buff of greater wolf form.
It also depends what you fight. The very high ac mobs in Velious make fast dual wield weapons better. Wurmslayer and woodsman's staff would be terrible on Kael raid mobs for instance.

On a totally subjective note, I loved my wurmslayer while leveling up.

Lupine Dagger is redundant once you get Wolf Form at 49. According to the wiki, the only bonus you get in Greater Wolf Form is an extra 5% movement speed.

If you're a non-epic ranger who is considering finishing your epic soon, I would encourage you to wait a few weeks/month for the VSR/Planes patch. Availability will go way up then. Spend your money elsewhere.
