Rangers, how much fun is bow kiting?

[dartaniun]

The ranged dmg doesn't need to be fixed (although even with skill maxxed you still miss too often, maybe that could be looked at) ranged dmg has never been the primary choice of dps for rangers. Outside of using TS disc it's always been situational because getting in there and meleeing will always be more dps. Even after archery mastery AA came out which bumped up the dmg on ranged shots, it was still behind melee dmg when the weapons were on equal tiers. Even if you were using high end velious melee weapons and an elemental bow from PoP the melee would still be more dmg
