Ranger ToV Options
Currently have these:
Tolan's Longsword Baton of Flame Claw of Lightning Earthcaller/Swiftwind I think my real options are between Baton/Tolan's, Tolan's/Claw, and Tolan's/Swiftwind, other than the situational combos. Has anyone run the numbers on these? I vaguely remember there being a post on a similar topic with an equation that will do the crunching but I can't find it. | ||

This thread begins the discussion but doesnt describe how ToV weapons stack up against each other DPS wise and added bonus wise. Mainhand: Baton of Flame: amazing dps (2.15) great for setting up speedbump Tolan's Longsword: good dps (1.95) no proc, AC buff for speedbump, great extra stats Offhand: Claw of Lightning (1.55) amazing ratio, good stats Swiftwind (1.23) good ratio, good stats, great atk buff | ||

Pretty sure Baton/Claw are BiS in terms of raw damage assuming you're capping out on offensive stats and haste regardless. The others would only come into play if you cared specifically about their stats, such as resists or tanking durability, for a particular fight.

Tolan's is good for mainhand if you don't have a Kflame or Baton. I don't like it in offhand unless you're tanking for the AC effect. Swiftwind, Claw, or even Kflame, for proc pew pew pew, are the only offhands I'd consider on my ranger.
The calc for offhand ratio is simply damage / del. Higher number wins and is a better offhand, but need to consider Swiftwind's effect which really ruins this discussion imo till someone severely maths a +3% dps benefit vs higher ratio. | ||

I think baton + kreiz would be fun. It has the potential to out dps anything, but isn't the ideal setup and probably won't. Exactly how I'd gear my ranger tho. I made Zalea after Xanthias showed me his TWO 600+ DD proccers. That was enough for me to make a ranger and that setup kinda echos that idea but with nicer ratios instead of dirt ones.

Mistle did a big parse on another server using ranger ToV setups.

They're mostly all good setups and similar damage. Tolan's is a bad main hand... and probably a better offhand than I thought. Going from that parse, anything with a ratio equal to or greater than Tolan's (.714) should offset ATK loss from epic with Baton main. | |||

BoF + Kriezenn's with all resists would be -9600 damage so:
146790 damage @ 69.9 dps over 35 mins. Wouldn't suggest that combo on fire dargons. At 69.9 to 74.5 dps, it's one of the worst and best combos. Still that's pretty good DPS assuming NO procs. Let's say you proc 3x in a minute. 300 damage / 60 = +5 dps. Bumps it over anything on the list. Mistle had a 2.74 PPM on that parse so I'd say that's a realistic expectation at max dex. Looking better and better the more I think about it. | ||
