I dont play *that* much, you dont really need more than 3 hours of good luck and you get 50k RP (yesterday 2 30 min runs and 30k rp) LA isnt a good guild, it's THE best guild ^^

I have allways offered you a 1on1 but you dont play a sniper anymore, but a mage with arrows, and shamefully Mythic did
nerf scout melee

Obviously you arent very familiar with my playstyle, meleeing down 3 tanks at the same time etc ^^

and almost taking me down on Gorre in pure melee *sigh*

Nowadays fighting against an enemy 2 realm ranks up to you is like fighting oranges mobs. Fighting a RR8 is like soloing an Inquisitor

just wait for 1.53 RA changes to pure melee tanks *drools*

And I had a very close fight with Eleasias on Gorre, with Dragonfang as my last style when I backed off - I got lucky is all I can say...

Hehe, ranger selfbuffs do not give those stats

Unbuffed a ranger lose 1on1 against a tank, both with or without ip. The damtable will make the difference, and im sure we can arrange a test against a hybrid specc'ed armsman.

Also shield is bad against dw's. Its the way Mythic designed the game, and then take into account that scouts were made weak
against trust, neutral to slash & resistant to crush makes it
hard for a scout to melee a ranger. Also the fact that rangers
are resistant to slash, which most melee scouts specc's. Well
its nothing new that albs get nerfed. Also alb scout items are
pretty bad compared. In old days you had a close fight, with
scout having the edge, but the ability to purge stuns and
the changes in armortables leaves the scout nerfed against a ranger in 1on1. Scouts slam makes the class pretty good in group melee tho.

Skille that would be a terribel spec imo. For 15-20 more in melee dam you sacrifice your best defense which is stealth.

Btw ranger melee need not be nerfed, im pretty sure its working
as intended, dw > shield, shield > 2h and 2h > dw, but have not heard of any hunters vs rangers in melee. New armor tables are
pretty unbalanced tho, and highly unfair to the scout, since our
least feared enemy is a big 2 handed troll.

I Would do doubleslam and load a critshot+normal on em .

Rangers evade aren't as uber as assasins, so I might actually get in a slam .

 

[belth]

I win more fights against 2-h users than against shield specced tanks for some reason - maybe it's because even tho most styled attacks I make incur a defensive penalty, the random evade factor from evade7+dodger2 gets them. Worst I ever seen sofar is 2 dual wielded swings using Dual Shadows got a "Enemy blocks your attack! Enemy parries your attack!" in a row, which resulted in a nasty block-style Also from my CS-spec days perfing a shield specced tank often resulted in CD (the 6 sec stun style) being parried or blocked...

Took you that long to figure out? ^^ Obviously the pic in my sig atm is buffed to teeth (and most should notice the sarcastic "buffs dont matter, right?") about taking tanks down in puree melee unbuffed? Done that several times on Excal with my old spec and new spec, won a lot of duels (the least expected win was against Sub ) on Gorre etc... BUT IM NO NORMAL RANGER !

 

[sorusi]

Well done elasias prolly the best ranger in the world

So it's ok scouts *had* better melee and better archery but now it's the other way around it's "omg we're so nerfed" :>

 

[sorusi]

Scots should have worse melee since they got longer range and dmg?

seems fair, and albion is suppose to be "teh gimped realm"

 

[Novamir]

COME ON 1.53 !!

A ranger without decent crush resist and purge still looses from scout in melee .and i've never seen any ranger doing more dmg then me.
