Is this the cap, or does anyone have higher?

Mind sharing which armor/sigils/accessories etc you have there?

I think I’ve had at least 57% crit chance once. Not sure though.

Berserker set no doubt.

Your crit rate can go higher. But it’d drop your power a little, and your crit damage % a good deal.

Ive got roughly 3480 attack

My Ranger has

59% Crit
99% Critdmg

about 2300 Power

I think u have this Build?

If i am @ home i post a Picture from my Ranger with Stats

That’s the cap my friend, I feel the pain….can’t go higher but you could lose some of your stat’s in exchange for a 48s QZ, that’s my stats but i am not running 30 power/prec took the trait for 20% cd on survival skills and 2 sec QZ on pet swap

The Question is? Max Dmg from

Rapidfire and normal Longbow Shot?

My Personal Rekord is with Rapidfire 16,5k and with a Normal Shot 4.8k

Urs?

the max rapid fire i hit was around 12k, ofc on WvW vs some lvl 12 squishy, the overall damage from 1500 vs a lvl 80 player is 2.4k while rapid fire hitting for 8k…imho pretty kitten low.

Calculating for the cap is easy. Just go all Berserker gear, including jewelry. Pardon me for not having the exact number, but I’m guessing it should be around 3.4k-3.5k attack, 55%+ crit chance, and 100%+ crit damage (I recall seeing a post that 120% crit damage is the imposed cap, though I am not entirely sure.)

Of course, it’s kind of useless to max out on pure damage, because you end up being extremely squishy. Not that helpful to have all that attack power if you’re dead or die easily.

it is not useless to spec glass cannon, well it is right now, for sure since our damage is not that Cannon but we still are made of glass…

But in theory with 1500 range we should be able to stay out of serious trouble if we play smart and with a group of skilled players.

The only thing that u cant ever do is ress a player…ppl wont understand that but being 1500 range from enemy mean being 1499 range from our allies too and if we get closer we die.

we are extremely squishy for sure, but lightning reflex, protect me and the shortbow evade shot saved my cat far more often than 5k extra hp.

the 1500 range is a little overrated. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s very useful, but it’s not as awesome as I thought it was. You can’t stay at max range all the time, because you are also required to rez people, and a lot of boss fights, specifically in CoE (Subject Alpha) and the Golem boss, as well as the first boss of TA and Mesmer boss, you can’t completely avoid everything, and they hit hard (again, Subject Alpha).

Plus, if we’re talking about WvW, our shots can easily be dodged at max range, assuming they know how to dodge well.

Not saying that 20K health is the minimum :P that’s rather silly for a ranger, because they will kitten their damage :P But I guess that’s just me. I don’t like being squishy. I sit at 3350 attack, 92% crit damage, 47% crit chance, and 17k health. That’s with my incomplete CoE set. With my complete TA set, my crit damage is only at 88% iirc, and 47% crit chance, but with 17.6k health. Attack rating is about the same.

>Glass Cannon with 1500 range = I’m not worried about being squishy.

>55% crit chance + 20% fury buff is enough

>Light-Auto longbow around 4.5-5k
>Med-Auto around 4k
>Heavy-around 3k

Barrage does 18k+
