An easy way (I think) rangers could be fixed.

<div> </div><div>Focus fire line should be a concentration buff that has unlimited duration.   Lower the amount of haste and DPS on it and the amount of ranged it increases but make it a buff we can toggle on and leave on.  This skill is great for increasing bow damage from autoattack and we are getting the procs there that we aren't getting on our CA's.  INCREASE our CA damage on most of our CA's.  Since we are often spamming CA's to get the higher numbers, this would generate a little more DPS. </div><div> </div><div>I find this would be an outstanding way to increase our DPS without having to change procs back or whatnot.  Also, Dev's if you are reading this.  Tweaking the Focus Fire line ie playing with the DPS numbers haste numbers etc would be an easier way than completely revamping a lot of things.  I find that when focus fire is up I can get about 150-250 DPS alone on the autoattacks.  Since rangers primarily are using the bow CA's..and melee proccing the poisons more often than a bow fire will, this is a slight way around the nerfage.  For soloability, increase our snare time a little longer.  We can semi-kite around with this and using the bow.  I would be happy with KoS and I feel a lot of rangers would welcome this. </div><div> </div><div> </div><p>Message Edited by Draughith on <span class="date_text">02-25-2006</span><span class="time_text">09:15 PM</span></p>

<div></div>Personally, i was really big on the procs over the higher melee hits... However, anything that soe will do to give a bit of dps back ill take!!! Sounds like a solid plan to me... funny that we all have such better ideas than sony eh? Maybe they should play their own game instead of making people pay to test it!

<div>Has any ranger used the focus fire line?  I 've found that it does wonders now..granted the 10 second time on it really is uncool.</div><div> </div>

<div>Focus fire is a money spell that i never seem to use at times it should be... like a presnipe... the decrease to slash and pierce scares me too much! i used to use it along with the other short buffs when i would stream... but since that spell is obsolete for me now, focus fire almost is too <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

imo easiet way to fix rangers is actually have something that has a 25% chance to proc go off 1/4 of the hits you strike not using this completly bogus bs formula, and if they don't change it, i want to see whatever the hell their forumla is on my poison instead of 25%<div></div>
