Aye the effects of the change will be situational... Alot of rangers do not know how to maximise damage potential by using the game mechanics to thier favor. I.E. Long delay bow... which poisons to use... Which poisons stack.. etc. I see level 50 rangers today on live that use short bows... Some give a long pause after I mention we can use poisons, like they never heard of it.
For the above types of people they may only see a 20 percent loss. For the folks that know the game mechanics this will greatly effect damage potential. Dare I say Drasticly alter everything about the ranger class.
I find that a little off beat considering every other ranger I have grouped with I have at the very least been on par with them or better so to say that the above reason is why I only see a small decrease is, quite frankly, insulting.On the other hand, that exploitation(mind you I use the word in a non derrogatory sense) of the system should not yield drastically different results in how someone's DPS comes out. When I mean drastically I mean 30 - 40% difference.That is to say that at x level one ranger gets 1000 dps while another ranger of the same level gets 1400 - 2000 dps?
