Ranger High DPS Test
Hmmh, I’m not sure.
Well, the video describes the potential very nice. But it shows how you re-equip different weapons, how you retrait post-buffs…
Practically said, it describes neither “raw” unbuffed version of your Burst, it doesn’t show out full potential with full buffs.
It’s a mashup of the highest burst you could show in a video, but then again, you didn’t even flank the NPC – where 10% got lost.
Retraiting and requiping are SOP for dungeon running.
But anywho, the damage is why that’s already the PvE meta.
Ya I retrait and switch weapons all the time in dungeon. If you are quick enough, in a speed run an elementalist with go through other weapons to stack more might.
How much of that you are willing to do in a dungeon depend on a lot of factor.
Well, I actually tried to do it a few times, usually ending up mid fight where my teammates already begun. Leaving me in a position with the “buffing” traits loosing the whole point of the boost at all.
I found out that keeping my Drake and Warhorn options up my sleeve was perfectly enough. You usually have an Ele for fire fields in your zerk group anyways.
But yep, that’s how Rangers are currently doing. Fitting the meta after all those years.
