Rolled a melee ranger the last day for a bit of a change and I cant help but notice ..its damage is shit! :p

I was expecting this but it might be my spec ..

using

18dual wield
19stealth
9pathfinding
and rest in slash

Its a celt ..maybe I would be better rerolling luri and speccing pierce ?

Its really good to play and the side stun style is very nice..can take down buffed tanks but would involve mucho strafing :( Anyway.just incase anyone has played a thid one before or fought against one or two that did some real decent dmg u might comment on it .

my one is called 'marysboyfriend' just incase u fought against him in the last 2 days ..just deciding wether to reroll the race or just go a dual wield specced nightshade..;)

Always found these guys some of the hardest to kill. They can dish out monster damage and have very high slash resist. Specced right and in good gear/buffed are real tough ombres.

well no.1 rangers are very though to take down once played right, only hibs that stick out in my memory as nice ones to avoid if poss were, maylah and
skrapz both well played rangers, malyah is a shar hits hard but takes alot of damage, good against high envanom spec assasins, skrapz is a luri and hits even harder and also alot quicker, hits me 2-3 times before i get a hit in, makin it the perf strafer, stop hit 100-150 damage, strafe same again etc etc,

also if luri go pierce, if shar go blades, bring ur stealth down to 18+5 and get Mastery of stealth 2, unlike assasins, we MoS (imo) aint worth the steam of my piss, with an archer it allows u to see assasins from a further distance, and cause aslong as an assasin dosnt get the crit strike of u are home nd free imo,

i have just rolled a NS for thid so wen i get my SC etc done, duo inc, till then mate GL

I thought that the effects of MoS didn't work on assasins because they have detect hidden? I would've bought it instead of MoP2 if I'd known it worked. :( I thought it only enabled you to see stealth classes without Detect Hidden (Mincers, Archers)

The herald on mastery of stealth:
Modifies stealth detection and stealth movement. Camouflage counters the Mastery of Stealth bonus, allowing an archer to only be seen at the normal range. ]Doesn't affect detect hidden classes when they are detecting other detect hidden classes. (Meaning it has no affect on assassins detecting assassins.)
So it does effect detect hidden classes as long as you're not one yourself :).
PD 2 might be worth considering as well though 4.35% extra resists means an increase of about 33%.

too be Honest, why not roll a CD Nightshade, if you at least have 17 env (so 22 total) the str/con debuff will win most of your battles.

Not if you met my sb cos he would use it back on you :) . And with your low hits you would be in a real bad way.

Luris - mega damage dealers and deadly but only got about 3 hit points - thank god.
