    Frostwrath, Blade of Command

    Ranger aggro Any Ranger worth his salt can hold aggro even when in /s 4. Heck, I've even held aggro on raid named while BOWING from near point-blank range. I made Deyranni (may have misspelled that) my red-headed stepchild so often that it kinda became expected that I'd tank her after Sald...

    Treasure Map Itemization

    As for the 2handers, I would like to point out that the big thing about Rage is the 30% worn haste. Since most of the people actually doing M tmaps for drops will have the Ciadrian Crystal (also 30% but no stats) or less, Rage gives them a decent weapon AND lets them replace the Crystal with...

    Ranger Auto Fire

    Actually, a 2nd warrior /shielding the MT and aux tanking is not horrible. Especially on mobs that have the ability to almost one round the MT.

    Ranger Auto Fire

    Speaking as a long time ranger, I want to restate that I am NOT in favor of autofire. From a game balance perspective, the ONLY way to justify giving autofire to rangers is to also nerf archery dps. If your character can be played at close to maximum performance with almost zero input after...

    rogues, my 2cp

    I really doubt that paladins can even get close to beastlords on undead. I'm parsing high-end bsts at right around 300 dps (pet included) on Upper Thaz trash. The pallys are probably in the 170-200 range. Brimz could probably give you the exact numbers, assuming he could find a fight where...

    rogues, my 2cp

    ROFL. My first char was Garluk (65 mage, 260ish AA and at one time was within 20 mana of tops on the server). I foresaw that mages were a "dead-end" class in the AA dept (useful AAs cap really really early) and it really pissed me off that I needed Dmg Inc 7 and an Archaic in order to land a...

    Bad Bidding

    Allielyn = the cure for low auction prices. If she sees mid to upper tier stuff selling for well below fair market value you better BELIEVE she will swoop in and scoop it up.

    <3 ya, hon. Still do. But I think you see my point.

    Ranger Auto Fire

    I am not in favor of /autofire. It trivializes the class and promotes the use of DPS-bots.

    Whoa whoa whoa! I found this little gem in the shaman healing thread: Allie, you know I luv ya hon, but parsing the ranger WITH CotP and parsing the other classes w/o it and then balancing based on this is a serious faux pas. With duration inc and AAs I can get CotP's duration well over the...

    Thaz ring clickies

    When I saw the spell file update today I got excited. Alas, it was to no avail :( Any word on when this will be addressed?

    Ranger Thaz legs clicky

    Any hope of this getting fixed?

    Here we go again, SSS and SV

    Yes, that is how we do it. However, if the healers are napping and the tank dies, one of the wizards (or most likely Aisling) pulls aggro, or Draxx forgets to FD (turning the mob during enrage) and we have to rebuff then it's cast SSS again overwriting SV. Having to do this multiple times a...

    Mob magic resist rate ridiculous 1-30.

    The problem with low level parsing is that you level rather quickly. As your level vs the mob changes, the resist rates change. It's hard to gather a significant amount of accurate data without using explock. That would be asking a LOT from a low level player that would see little or no benefit...

    About the war and faction

    Or, you can just wait until the city has fallen and retake it. Then you won't have to worry about harming the locals.

    Non-Working AA's.

    Foresight has been working for a long time. I've parsed it at somewhere around a 5% reduction in the mobs melee accuracy against the ranger, IIRC. I don't remember if it was an absolute 5% or a relative 5%. Absolute would be dropping mob accuracy from say 50% to 45%, relative would be dropping...

    Paladins and one-handed vs. two-handed

    Paladins are certainly masters of AE aggro. The monk brings 4, cast AE blind, mez at your leisure. It's all good, dawg.

    rogues, my 2cp

    LOL. With the possible exception of Geadenea, noone in the history of SoD has fired more arrows than I have so I don't think your "lazy" comment applies. My point was that I don't think 40 DPS is enough to justify the cost of using archery full-time, thus my request for a return of Endless...

    rogues, my 2cp

    Thanks, Allielyn, for the effort put into the parsing. I've done a lot of parsing/testing myself and know how time consuming and tedious it can be. I do have one question about the results, though. What was the level of the test mob? The reason I ask is because if the mob is low enough (under...

    rogues, my 2cp

    Riposte? Why would I be attacking from the front except for a very limited number of encounters? AoEs? The ONLY AoEs that I routinely outrange are Farg (which we never do anymore), Thaz lower fire mini and maybe a couple in CoD (again, that we never do). Rampage? Ok, I'll give you that one...
