[Sydares]

No idea, but ditch Agility. It's doing nothing for you - contrary to common misconception, it does not add to our ranged damage. Strength does that, as it boosts all Combat Arts.STR/INT is the way to go.

+ Spell damage no longer affects poisons.. I think it was GU 36...

<p>LOL, AGI is not good for Ranger? So.. you want melee crit instead of ranged crit? and no faster cast?</p><p>Guess you wanted to go to Assassin thread, because STR/INT is the line for Assassin... <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p>

[TemerNeziel]

When he said current spec I think he was referring to AA, and so AGI/Int if the 'correct spec'.

Ditch the AGI line?! that is the most important line to Rangers <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Cael]

I dont think he meant ditch the line, just to not worry about the stat Agi. No need in getting +agi gear as the OP is specced full int full agiAs to the OP, I'd get the second to last one, the +sta +int +spell damage

<p>R U guys kidding me?!  Apparently some of you have not gone down the intelligence line irl.  He obviously meant increase your attribute STR not your AA str.  No Ranger that is half way intelligent would ever say go down your STR AA line.  Man rangers have seriously gone downhill.  We're biting each others heads off cause we're getting a severe beating with a nerf bat.  The problem is (and I'm guilty of it too) is that we are at each others throats more than we are at the entity that is screwing us.  SOE.  Post in threads that tell sony that we got a leg torn off.  Be supportive of each other.  Or just keep screwing us by telling everyone that, "I don't see what the problem is.  I'm still putting out the same amount of mediocre DPS that I'm used to."</p><p>It's rangers like you that are keeping us from our full potential.  Making it harder for those of us who know how to use our toons to have to keep changing our tactics when it comes to soloing, raiding (HA!), and grping (if were lucky).  I mean other than dps and a OOC speed buff, what do we have to offer to the game that another class can't already do and has more benefits that go with it?</p>

Kind of a tangential rant you went on there Azreal.

Not an all-out offensive campaign against all rangers everywhere.

Uh, ha. Yeah. I definitely didn't mean to ditch the Agility AA line. I thought you meant you were gearing your items into the Agility stat. My bad, I'd just come off some idiotic general chat about how a Ranger's primary stats were Agi/Str in that order and that Int was useless. Rangers these days.
