I think this style fits me well as well as the raid force. I can take a punch or too trying to defend those that are supporting the tanks. I grab aggro off the clerics and casters when something goes after them. I compliment the Chanters by preslowing and or kiting adds till they are locked down. As a ranged melee I can stand in the back doing decent DPS and watch the action much better then standing toe-to-toe with mobs. Most people never say why they do what they do.but here is my reason: Backup support. Even at the reduction of DPS that SoE gave us. No matter what style you play your character, you do it in symphony with the other players you raid with. The main thing each of these people has is cooperation. Granted I am not from what you would call a traditional 'high end' guild, I do come from a guild of tremendously talented players. Epic 1.0a sword, Epic 1.0b sword, Epic 1.5 Bow. Personally as a 72 Ranger (at the time of this post) I still would like to have a Bow Epic. Wow.finally got done reading all the chatter about the Bow vs. That was alot of rambling, its 330am here o.0 but that is my input on this weapon(the best wep you can get unless ur raiding TSS) Then the clicky is even better: i use it if i think about it and when i do its basically 90%hits, missing only every few, im guessing it could double my DPS when used.

Now if i had crit aa's then thats even more, but really the effect is a great effect for anything. Really there shouldnt be any complaining about this.Īnd then the effects: The DD increaser i have been waiting for, i had a lvl 70 one, but when you get Summers dew, icefall, ash, etc, u can get 1.6k normal hits with ice, 1.5k with ash, and like 1.8k combined with summers dew.

Really when you are criting for 2/3-1/2 of what u max crit on bow, but hit 4-6x faster, what is th point in even using the bow unless ur in a raid with aoe's being slack, whatev lol. The sword is by far the best 1hs u can get until ur guild raids TSS, and increases ur dps by alot. If you can get this, that means guild is in CoA(or got help) and can get Plaugebreeze, which is iirc 2nd best bow pre-TSS(2nd to DPoB Sisters Bow). My opinion on bow vrs sword debate: Sword, 100% sword. I have max crit aa's and crit for max ~800, usually hitting 400's(with Harrier Mace from CoA as secondary) Ive had this for a very long time and i LOVE it.
