so imo, Exp Dex doesnt really do much for a line that was never build for damage to begin with... especially seeing as the current Rspike builds are way better..

SO.. im using ED to hit a breakpoint of 9 Marks for the damage and skill bonus, and splitting my attribs so i can pack other nastys.. liiiike...

11+1+1 exp
9+1 wsurvival
6+1 marks
9 scythe mastery

Experts Dex
Apply Poison
Dshot
Nat Stride
Troll
Pious Assault
Pin Down
Res

OR, same build with hammer master AND

hammer bash for pin down, and bulls strike for pious.

if you can weapon swap effectively, and aren't afraid to be brave.. this build has been raping in RA and AB for me lol... its like sway.. if sway had dshot and the ability to still play ranged.

try it out

wouldn't conditions/hexes get in the way though? I mean degens can kill this build fast and there isnt any blind removal either.

lol.. isnt that the counter to all physicals? not every ranger build in history has mending touch and purge sig lol..

I'm not going to share my whole build... but let me just say that it now contains Expert's Dexterity, and the Master of Damage dies in 2 seconds. That's right... 2 seconds.

Highest damage in a single second was 425.

Before you ask... yes the build contains one or more PvE-only skills.

Yes and after those 2 seconds, how long do you need to wait for your energy to recharge?

Expert's Dexterity disallows elite e-management, which means no spamming of Sundering & Penetrating Attack & the new Asuran Scan. Which = bad damage.

[Read the Wind][Asuran Scan][Penetrating Attack][Sundering Attack][Sloth Hunter's Shot][Prepared Shot][Ebon Battle Standard of Honor]["I Am The Strongest!"]
This build does ~500-600 damage in 3 seconds and can keep it up constantly, pausing only to recast buffs.

Expert's Dexterity sucks worse than it did before; at least it it was viable in some gimmicks that worked decently.

So you're declining to be informative about building a bar, and actually only post to show of how much damage you did and keep that to yourself to make sure you are the only one being that ubahleet?

[expert focus] > [read the wind], I'd replace slot hunter with another 1s bow attack and use hornbow (firing rate is irrelevant). But alternating SHS and PS is nice too, and asuran scan is insane with almost anything.

Marverick · Aug 09, 2008, 05:32 AM // 05:32

Meh I used RtW so I could use a Flatbow. But yea, firing rate isn't that relevant *runs off to go get a mursaat hornbow*

I dunno, I was thinking something like this:

[skill]Conjure Lightning[/skill]or whatever conjure you prefer[skill]Read The Wind[/skill][skill]Experts Dexterity[/skill][skill]Point Blank Shot[/skill][skill]Zojun's Shot[/skill][skill]Distracting Shot[/skill][skill]Favorable Winds[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Exp, 12 + 1 + 2

Marks 8 + 1 (+2 more from ED)

Element of Choice 10

Should produce a fair amount of damge at a rapid pace. +15 from Conjure, + 8 from RtW, +6 from FW, The Twin attacks are at +40 ea

Obviously I'm thinking team build here becuase there is no self heal.

In PvE land FW can be dropped for [skill]I Am The Strongest[/skill] and I suppose you could drop DShot for something else that Does more Damage, but hey, it's DShot.

Brutal Weapon was a thought, or another Weapon spell.

I dunno, was just thinking while here at work, I used to Use Glass Arrows in this build and always felt it lacked an IAS, maybe I'll try it later.
