I'm 44 now still having fun :-)
Since I will never get my hands on epics, and I already got the woodsman staff it seems I already got the best ranger weapon I can get. But sometimes I just like the look of two swords, so I was wondering - what do you think is the best dps 1h weapons I can get apart from epics? Lammies seemed to be the old time favorite? How about two Wurmslayers? They also add 10 AC and 10 STR - while being giant - I suppose they look big in hands? Also, for solo tank and spank - is it worth using a swarmcaller and hope for an early slow before switching back to the staff? | ||

I've been soloing a TON on my ranger.....
1-25 - Bows!!! So strong being able to kite anything around. It might take a little longer to kill, but there is no downtime. 25-35 - More bows!!! Yea, running around shootin stuff is pretty powerful if you try and get a bow of the huntsman at about level 30-35..... duoing is pretty easy being able to hate-kite stuff with a partner (though I still soloed a lot). 35-44 - This got a little harder....bows were good, but I also found myself fear kiting a bit (not because my bow + spells were that much worse, just I was far away from arrow merchants). Then I got my skydarkener at 45 or 46....and....I became so strong!!! 46-51 - AE kiting in dreadlands with my bow :3 Having a bow that procs a 184 AE with high dexterity is kinda crazy.... 51-52 - I've been soloing ice giants a lot....I can hold the 2 spawn pretty easily outside of permafrost. I never get hit....I don't think I've really been hit too much my entire ranger career...... people say we are squishy or something? I dunno, I guess things need to be able to catch me to find that out. Bows are really strong!!! Sure the raw DPS alone (ignoring spells) isn't as high as meleeing (at least not unless you have a dragon bow). But it makes up for it in being able to use your spells and meditate while fighting (kind of like shaman canni dance). Dots + nukes + bow shots plenty makes up for anything lost in melee.....and there is no needing to heal yourself up after, and if you need more mana you can just go more bow and pull back the magic.....or, if you need dps, go full magic and nuke between every 2 shots. And now that I've gotten the double damage in group situations....my shots easily hit for 100-150 a shot when someone is distracting it. Combined with call of flame (204 damage) and careless lightning (99 damage) with immolate (24 damage dot)...and the random 184 damage proc (the best string I've had is 6 shots with 6 procs.....hue hue hue)..... yea, it isn't so bad at all [You must be logged in to view images.

Basically...what I'm getting at is..... use bows, bows are awesome [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||
