Solo Rangers - Do you wear a 2nd worn haste with SW?
Particularly for soloing with Swarmcaller/Runed Blade, where you'd need to take out your Swiftwind.
For the sake of discussion, let's say I was deciding between two closely costed items: Lodi Shield or a Sibilisian Berserker Cloak. Curious what the norm is for those who don't have the luxury of having an Earthcaller. PS - just lacking a 55+ tanky class for Jaeil (plus my static group), and the PoSky piece! Would appreciate any help I can get [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

I use a RBB for my backup item haste, and I wear the DCotS for my spell haste.

Not what you wanted to hear but that 20k or w/e would be much better going in the bank to buy seoc. If you just really want a cloak then I'd go with the Lodi shield bc you don't need haste to proc slow. I guess if you're very weak then the 9sta and 50hp on sib could be nice but meh.

I went with the 41% VP boots for weapon swaps. Think I used RBB before that.

I would say if you're mainly swapping to the Swarmcaller/Runed blade to proc, then back to whatever/Swiftwind (you have SW right?) to dps, not to worry about a backup haste item. From what I understand you would have a better chance at procing those weapons minus the haste. Hiero cloak or Lodi shield may be better options for your back slot. For the price, the RBG is a great item to wear regardless if you're using the haste or not.

Thanks for the feedback!

Seems like the jury is split.. belts are hard to come by (not a raider), so I'm thinking I'll take the stats and haste of an RBG and pair it with a heiro/lodi for now, with sky cloak -> SEoC as future goals.

If you need a tank for the hole part I can do it on my pally. I used a cloak of flames for a long time till I got my swiftwind. It's got good stats and can be used on an alt once you get your SW. I liked rocking cat fur girdle or tbb for my waist slot. CoF is a bit more money but can always flip it.

Maybe not understanding the question but for solo/melee fighting with my ranger I root/snare and joust with the Swarmcaller until it procs. If it doesn't I'm still on average doing more damage per round than with the DW combo.
For a tanky combo or for mobs with damage shields maybe pack a Wurmslayer? It's a DPS drop compared to Exquisite/Crafted/Guard Capt Mallet/SoZ, etc but you will definitely eat less ripostes. That or just get some budget haste like a SCHW and use a 2h of your choice (never thought about a Runed Blade); would be an interesting parse but I expect the 20-30% dps loss for the tank isn't as important as increasing survivability. | ||

I have the same setup and use belt of the pine when I use swarmcaller. Usually they rot in sky so it might be pretty easy to pick one up.
