I did some testing. killed about 5 Risen giants in full exo zerk set on my ranger, and about same on my warrior (hes my main)

I ran 30 30 10 0 0 on my ranger using full exo zerk gear, ruby orbs and force sigil.
Procedure: stack vulnerability with axe 5, switch to GS, get moa fury, get cats might, quickening zephyr while continuesly spamming GS 1 2 3, tried not to dodge, tried to flank and the best time I got was 48 seconds

on my war I run 20 25 0 10 15 and I had the same gear, I just did signet of rage, FGJ, disc banner and GS away using 1 2 3 also, the best I got was 32 sec

That’s 33% less DPS on ranger… Do you think that’s fair? I personally think it’s not fair and rangers should do comparable melee DPS to warriors if not more, considering they’re squishier and have less group utility.

well for starters, we have a pet, and secondly you’re missing the rangers 5% more damage while using the GS trait, and the 20% CD reduction trait, so i really have to question why you specced as you did…

Try it again without hitting 3. Swoop actually drops your dps if you are already in melee range.

You’ll probably find warrior greatsword still does more dmg but the gap might be a little closer.

Also take a look through the forum there have been a couple threads where folks actually tested the dmg coefficients for each greatsword skill on both warrior and ranger. Pretty interesting read.

Wow that thread is awesome! thanks a lot, that’s exactly what I was looking for, really hoping that the buffs will keep on coming, cause the gap between the 2 professions is still pretty wide.
