<DIV>Well at end i managed to change my main and now we can say im a full ranger <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </DIV> <DIV>( quited my guardian after a break of EQ and came back as ranger )</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now im starting to raid and considering that everything else doesnt matter as much as it did while i was lvling // questing so im considering the best options for loot.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The problem is that with my guild system of loot i cant give trys to diferent setups bcse the gear is the same price for the first who loots to the last who does ( what i think is a fair system), So looking for some advice before i focus on a line.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well here comes my question :</DIV> <DIV>- Is a good alternative to go for 1h and shield? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My point will prolly be on Qeynos 1h and not sure of what shield prolly Zalak one ? or some other with a procc ( shields procc from bows?? ) should be this way ?? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In my game style, i dont melee at all, im still need a bunch of AA's but going for AGI/INT and im happy enough, since with Grizz and adam arrows without poison Critical AA's im parsing 1k-1,3k dps so it can be nice enough once i get a decent bow, t8 ammo and the 15 AA i need.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just go to the "sweet spot" few times in a fight to get on sneak, ranger blade or something like that, always keeping the autoatk on my bow.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Will i regret if i try to go 1h? is better dual wield? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thx for your points of view <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Masu.</DIV>

I play on a PvP server, and I carry both around.  I dual wield if I'm in a group, especially if it's group PvE.  If I'm solo PvP, I know I'm going to be getting attacked, so I go with a 1h and a shield.  The added protection is nice and I'm mostly going to be trying to kite my target.  If they get up close, I'm only going to use a couple of melee CA's before I hit a snare and get some distance, so I don't really need to worry about doing high damage with auto-attack.  But that's just PvP.

i heart 1h and shield.  avoidance is lovely in pvp.  but come this next patch and seeing how it goes i may opt to returning to DW for stats because its been getting really hard for me to get my hands on a good roundshield, but goodluck to you in getting geared out!<div></div>
