Ok ...basically the Shock sniper and Quickshot spiker...both focus on single target damge with high dps...which is spiking...both deal loads of damge by the speed of their attacks..so i was wondering...Do rangers only have spike builds as damage dealer...ive yet to see a ranger "nuking" build if thats what u call a ranger that deals 1 heck of a damage each shot...so anybody knows...?

Edit:Barrage bots also rely on fast attack speed

There is a lot of information here on high dps and how to get it.

I suggest using the conjure flame-Kindle arrows method. Mix it up with TF and your good to go. I think

Great to see you here chris..
ermm..actually i wasnt lookin for dps builds... .i was wonderin if there were any ranger builds that can dish out 1 heck of a damge in a single shot...like an ele's nuking build..if you know what i mean

chris_nin00 · Dec 04, 2005, 03:35 PM // 15:35

I know what you are talking about.

Here's my favorite build...

Dualshot
Kindle Arrows
Conjure Flame

Here's a fragility build... very interesting to play.

Incendiary arrows
Fragility

All the other moves are actually up to you

.

I would suggest
-favorable winds so your arrows strike for +6 more damage.
-res sig

hmmm.. writer's block..

No, rangers are not elementalists. Rangers are consistent in damage, instead of dealing one giant load of damage at one time.

chris_nin00 · Dec 04, 2005, 03:44 PM // 15:44

My conjure flame-Kindle arrows ranger can do about >100 damage with dual shot.

FeuerFrei · Dec 04, 2005, 03:50 PM // 15:50

Hmmm...i see your point chris...man...if only preps could stack.....i really love RTW...hahaz...hmm..actually..this leaves no other choice for an elite...so the build that u suggested would most probably be using Quickshot right?

chris_nin00 · Dec 04, 2005, 03:53 PM // 15:53

Quickshot is nice...

It has read the wind packed in the attack without the addition to damage

Yes, quickshot is feasible.

FeuerFrei · Dec 04, 2005, 04:01 PM // 16:01

Reminds me of the flame slinger build.....yea..read some where that it does wonders in PvP...

so its,

qs
kindle
conjure fire
fav. winds
tf
dual

how bout addin in pen. or hunters...?...im sure it would deal quite alot of damge...am i not wrong?

tuperwho · Dec 04, 2005, 04:02 PM // 16:02

I've been playing around with different elites, and actually like Punishing shot more than quick shot. I use it in the same way.... with FW and kindle on, and immediately after dual or hunters, etc. It's not quite as spammable (8 second recharge), but it fires faster (the .5 second difference seems actually like much more). Also, punishing adds more damage to the attack (19 I think), and it interrupts. To me, these things are worth only being able to use it about 1 time for every 3 quick shots.

I would put in hunter's shot in there. Alternate hunter's shot and dual shot, with quickshot's in between them.

Punishing shot works too. But whenever I work with it, it kills my energy.
I guess it's personal preference.

tuperwho · Dec 04, 2005, 04:22 PM // 16:22

if only you could run multiple elites (I know... balance... don't flame). When I capped quick shot, and already had punishing on.... man was that fun:

put down fav. winds
conjure flame
kindle arrows
dual shot -> quick shot->punishing shot -> quick shot

Shooting 3 bursts shots in a row will not have desirable effects.
It should be,
Dual shot -> Punishing shot or quickshot -> Normal attack or normal bow skill -> Dual Shot if recharged-> then repeat...

I know the pattern, and that's what I was using as I searched for Maxine Coldstone. Then, after I had QS and PS, I still ran the same thing, just inserted an extra step of PS and QS following dual and QS every 8 seconds..... and it definitely worked as well as I could have hoped.

FeuerFrei · Dec 04, 2005, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Actually...i find this similar to a spiking build but i dont know why...lol...will try it out after i complete PvE...hopefully it will be the answer to all my doubts

Note: If uve seen my post in the QnA section..ull know that im havin one friggin hellish time finding Maxine(Quickshot)

tuperwho · Dec 04, 2005, 05:13 PM // 17:13

I was having that problem too.... there are 2 Coldstone bosses, but only 1 spawns at any given instancing. Use the map on this site to find the patrol route, go in the opposite direction they go, and hope you're lucky and it's the right boss..... if you want some help, I can join you today/tonight and help you out.
