<div>Greetings all,</div><div> </div><div>My main is/was a Ranger, but I haven't played since the recent LU that I heard nerfed us to oblivion.  So I was wondering if anyone could tell me whats wrong with us now, including the proc changes and poisons?  Are we still effective in solo/group settings?  Thanks,</div><div> </div><div>-Con</div>

Our poisons/procs don't go off as much as they did, so we weren't REALLY nerfed. The problem was we were broken to begin with and they are trying to fix that. We are still very effevtive in groups. Soloing is still very possible as long as you weren't in the habit of killing ^^^ Mobs... or ^^, and maybe even just ^, LOL. If you hunt 'solo' mobs (ie: even con, yellow V con etc) you will have no problems</span><div></div>

If you were using a high DD low DoT poison I would suggesting switching to a medium DD and medium DoT poison to compensate for it going off less.<div></div>

Ok, poisons still go off with a lot of frequency.  The problem with it is, that you can't just spam ca's now to get a massive amount of procs racked up.  The majority of your poison procs will come from your auto-bow damage.  If used properly, you can still get about 2/3's the amount of procs you had before, or more.  Rely on your CA's for just damage and debuff, rely on your auto-bow for the procs.  Heres a tip, because I know alot of you say, "Well I melee when my CA's are down."  When you're about to step back from the mob to fire off some more CA's, turn your auto-bow on, when you get in range touse it, it will auto-fire because the delay from dual weild has already recycled waiting for the next action.  Our damage hasn't been nerfed that bad, you just have to rely on auto-bow more for alot more of the damage.  And getting a bow like the Grizz makes it ALLLLLLLLL worthwhile.<div></div>
