Did the Wayback Machine/Web Archive get any dumps of Sunmoon's original Ranger's Glade site where we posted all the archery parsing results from this era back in the day?

Big crits dont mean big dps.
The best bow in the game burning good arrows is the Dagarn with a 2h. Problem is it burns arrows quicker than most fights last. Even an exquisite though is better than AoW bow. With solid arrows and a 2h that 32/36 scales better. That setup on disc is far better than most decent melee weapon setups and you can dodge some nasty aoe's like Zlexak. Archery dps isnt great, but its situationally handy. Rangers before AA's weren't snipe gods. Sorry I remember smoking them with my rogue a lot. I'd love to see you find a way to bump up bow dps...sure, why not!? I just dont think it's a bug, or broken, or pointless. | ||

The devs dont like zone line pull metas so they perma rooted many major encounters. I have no problem with this but it does result in a major nerf to ranger performance. | |||

On short fights on p99 with the BFG it keeps up with nearly BiS monk and rogue weapons. BoW dps is really good too. As mentioned, great if you can get this thing changed. I dont think it's broken. BOW dps was crap during velious. If it was even a bit better (off disc) than melee we would have seen more people plunking. I wish I could go back in time and confirm my recollections. Plus tell my former self all sorts of stuff to gamble on to completely change the future. | ||||

It's entirely possible the rooted dynamic didnt play on live like it did here. I'm definitely not against a bit more research. I'm not a ranger hater, I have one with all the toys. I dont remember many rangers on live raiding during this era and the one that did were meleeing. It's also possible they just were dumb but usually people figure this stuff out if there is a clear imbalance. Not just one person. | |||
