I have capped resists, and here is an example of a 5 arrow volley doing nearly 1700 dmg against mid studded. Oddly enough the last arrow shows dmg after I die, but it was the one that killed me. Some kind of bug im guessing lag played a part. With a 6 arrow volley I guess you could break 2K. I was estimating based on 45 bow.

You may notice 4 arrows land before I start sprinting...wish I had frapse running cause the moment I started taking dmg, the first thing I did was sprint.

the displayed damage doesnt scare me much..

even my highlander scout (30 dex lesser than a luri) is doing the same when i use D/Q charge and dex-pot and a bow that is 5.5 speed (tzaaaa used a 5.7 bow in the picture).

volley are normal shots with reduced delay but full damage..thats why it is that strong ATM.

Just shows how effective bow can be in the current setting.

ya recieving all the extra dmg of a slower bow whilst recieving none of the negatives due to 1sec delay (if that) on bugged volley

I would suggest the original poster ignores anything Force says as he obviously knows nothing about the class and is just enjoying another opportunity to bash and try to garner support for something he doesnt understand. All one needs to do is observe what all these LWRP rangers do and the mystery will be solved.

This is for Force: Adapt or DIE.

Anyone else ever notice when someone produces a screenshot of getting killed by volley it always shows they they stop, target the person who volley and just stand there and die lol. Pretty funny since i dont know anyone who doesnt have an "Agenda" who has the chance to target the person who volley them - Before the Volley. To do so means you stopped, looked, waited, ... and set yourself up to be a victim.

Enough with the bogus screenies, you make yourself look a fool.

I like how he targeted tzaaaaa, before getting hit, which means he had time to intrupt him, but yet waited on sprinting. Not even an attempt to use a charge dd to intrupt. But you did have the chat log running right, or still basing it off of a chat window, which doesnt reflect time, only getting hit.

Its not hard to run with logging enabled. Doesnt require alot of space, and doesnt effect your computer proformance. So if you want to prove your point, LOGGGG. Otherwise i cant consider your screenshots as anything but getting attacked.

love how 2 lowbie rangers can't do anything but bash people who say something is bugged with their class, when even a GM has said that the ability is bugged

rvr more guys and maybe you won't need to QQ so much on the forums

You got me... Im just a lowbie Ranger, thats all. By the way its you and those like you that are QQ about volley not us.... Hell you should count your blessings those shots are not hitting you for around 400+ cause thats what you would have got on live. Nerf volley to oblivion right now and give me my correct bow damage and then the forums can see you come cry about that too.

im all for giving you the correct bow dmg - couldn't care less

but volley is bugged/wrongly implemented and so should be changed.

lol, you say that now, but then they will cry about critshot actualy doing some real decent damage. And none of us is saying volley is exactly live like, we dont have enough proof to prove how it should be and how it should be effective. But we are saying is most crys about current volley is because of lack of understanding of it and amature reaction to there encounter. Yes the first time you get hit by it, it will be devistating, but if you come back and make the same mistake as before, then you deserve to die again. There is many ways around volley, espicaly if you know the most likely spot to repare yourself for it, like at the gates. If you get killed away from gates in a suprise attack, then that is exactly what that is , an suprise attack. Just think of any class getting the jump on you. Volley is strong on uthgard, but only in perfect situations that are setup as traps. Many factors can change the outcome, but yet those are ignored and only the times it perfectly works out, is it screenshoted and cryed about.

And please go back to your volley cry thread under support. Home sweet home.

So much for not going on another defensive rant.


Anyway, arguing with people who don't understand basic game mechanics is not worth my time.


Here's a hint, I didn't actually target tzaaa on my own, and hit sprint the moment I took dmg.


Maybe now you can figure out what's wrong with your statement, and how my screenshot demonstrates this in what it /doesn't/ say right after it says 'you target tzaa'


If you are going to jump to such erroneous conclusions based on assumptions un supported by the facts (what the SS actually shows) then we are at an impass.


Anyway, this thread is NOT about volley needing adjustment, its about the effectiveness of bow spec. Stop being so damn defensive. Apparently you can not use volley to generate 400K a week in RPS. Well that's too bad for you, but other rangers are doing this. That's a fact, the SS I posted helps to demonstrate to the OP how they are able to do this. Stop crying about it already. Your rants are getting ridiculous.



@silverleaf; LOL is all I can say. Learn to understand how to actually interpret a screen shot please, you and eclipsed are making fools of yourself. Btw, if my advice is so bad, how come you add/zerg and still have less rps on your toon than the top bow spec ranger made last /week/?


PS. DD range is not > 1500 units

Ive alrdy given my input to the poster, and this thread really has nothing to do with volley, making your statement with a volley screenshot, not valid, to say archery is all that great without volley. Someone can spec high for volley right now, but will need a diff strat to fight without it, even at high bow spec. Kiting mostly, and knowing your enemys and what to expect. But the poster sounded like going melee or hybrid, so full spec isnt really needed to be discussed. If people want to talk volley, there is a thread about it alrdy.

Ill leave you with last word, since im done with this repeat feast.

PS.. Yes it is. , look it up

I'll help you through this one elicpsed;

Baneras wrote:I heard recently that a Ranger's Bow damage is the same at 14 spec as it is at 50 spec.

This would make having a Sniper specced Ranger basically useless.

I just want to confirm this info, and if it is true - what would be a good melee ranger spec and maybe some tips to playing it?

Luri for race.


Thanks!

The OPs original question is about the dmg of bow and if "sniper specced rangers" are useless because their dmg doesn't scale with spec. Which is the topic I've been staying on, regardless of your rants about all the things you rant about.

I only posted a screenshot when I saw;

CalvoHP wrote:my ranger was prolly the first bow specced in the server, spec was :

50 +cap bow
48 pathf
composite stealth
like 4 piercing and 12 cd
5,7 speed bow

was very good dmg but never reached 1600+ dmg against templeted chars, i do remember hitting a merc with 0% slash for 1300 crit in agra times.

Because I wanted to demonstrate that in fact volley can do the damage (in 5 arrows none the less) I had previously stated it can.


No where am I crying for volley nerfs, I'm just giving the OP information he can use to make an informed decision.


Stop being so freaking defensive already.



EDIT: silverleaf; this is getting rather off topic so I will leave it at this; I called you an adder/zerger as the only times I've seen your spam was when it was a part of a zerg our 8 man was fighting.

the information I provided to the OP is based on fact, and substantiated in part by the LWRPS bow specced rangers are obtaining. For you to say, as a ranger, that this information should be ignored would beg the question of how successful in RVR you've been with your spec. that's the connection.

Congratulations for the most idiotic question of the week which makes no damn sense at all. What does your "advice" have to do with my playstyle? I dont usually add and to call me a zerger is a real laugh. I've been solo pretty much all week except once for about 30 minutes. If a huge battle breaks out then hell yes im going to join in, thats what this game is about fool. Now i have gotten mowed down by a full group of 8 a few times, but hey... thats not adding or anything is it? Besides, i do what i want when i want and i dont care for your blessings or admiration.
