A simple question for rangers who actually beta test....

[Morgonn]

<div></div><div></div>I've read through the various threads on the forums, seen tons of numbers and formulae, calculations and sheer guesswork.  I did however, run into one or two coherent statements that actually put out plain bald numbers.  My question is this: Is the 50% reduction in dps (post nerf) accurate? (I'm seeing posts varying 45-70%).  If it is indeed accurate, doesn't this place us in approximately T2 DPS?  (Not looking for flames, troll, etc...just some information to work with.)  Thanks in advance.Edited: still learning to spell <span>:smileytongue:</span><div></div><p><span class="time_text"></span></p><p>Message Edited by Morgonn on <span class="date_text">02-20-2006</span><span class="time_text">09:54 AM</span></p>

It's more than accurate, i'd guess it's actually worse.

<div></div><p>Some Data, I don't have access to my Charts since I'm at work but here is how it looks on Beta.</p><p>I parsed 500, Level 61 Green Heroic ^^^ Bixies, on Bixie Island in TT.</p><p>Ranger was Level 70 with t6 Raid Gear (Round Shield of Striking, etc), T7 Legendary Bow (Grizzlefazles, 89DR, 20str, 5% proc for 400 Heat Damage), ALL tier 6 and 7 Master 1 Spells. 50 AA's devoted into maximizing DPS (+str, - Reuse Casting, + Crits, etc), Using Adeste's Distruption.</p><p>Don't Forget I get Critical hits also, and had Maxed my +crit AA</p><p>On Average with Max Burn of all Ranged I was avergeing 550-650 DPS, with Spikes as High as 700.

<div>here is a small sampling from a post I made last night...it's about halfway down the page.  A character copy from Live to beta, so everything is as 'the same' as I can make it.</div><div> </div><div><a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=39&message.id=22384">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=39&message.id=22384</a></div><div> </div>
