i like the build, sounds good to me, but 2 sup runes is too much hp down the drain

so... is it the case that read the wind and favorable winds double attack rate?

(no wonder i suck at ranger, i apparently have no clue what my skills do)

It does exactly what it says it does, increase the arrows movement speed. It *also* has a cast time, which allows it to be fired independently of your bows normal fire rate. That's why people are saying it doubles attack rate. Interrupts also have cast times, but they freeze you after you use them unlike qs.

To the guy above me, 2 sup runes is just fine for a ranger, there are TONS of ranger builds that require 2 sups, just like virtually all ele builds require 1 sup.

Edited the build to include additional skills that can be used. Grammer corrections too.

Thanks for all the comments guys! It is really helpful to improve upon this build. Fo' sho my nizzles.

It's nice to see my build get some attention.

morganas, dual/quick/savage is just the combo for teams of ranger spikers. used to spike its very good, but quick shot is also used for dps builds like this one. my qs build is similar to his, i pump out dps rivaling that of an axe warrior but with more interupt, range, bit no deep wound =/

anyways using dual/quick/hunter/quick/normal/quick repeat relentlessly the entire match makes for a very high dps character. the dps quick ranger is only not used alot cus he is overshadowed by the spike ranger teams that dominate tombs. 1s KOs are more impressive than a high dps # =/

my improvement suggestions for this qs build are to rop troll, whirling, lightning, and favorable for dual, savage and distracting, plus any other skill you want. also, you dont need 2 sups runes, i use 14 expert 14 marks 7 beast (o wild) and im perfectly fine.

Since that last update, Quickshot was "fixed". Instead of the 1/2 second cast time(Correct me if I'm wrong) it's now 1 second cast time.
Does anyone believe that this will affect the build?

Quickshot just seems too slow now. Savage shot is looking pretty tasty right about now

.

Once again... there is no clear answer to weather read the wind and Favorable winds stack. It will always remain a mystery.

Thank you everyone for your feedback.

Comments and Concerns! Post em here!

Just curious, has anybody thought of using punishing shot instead of QS for a spike team? Sure it uses more energy and takes a lot longer to recharge but the idea of a spike is instant death, isn't it?

It has that irritating delay after its used, you'll be using Dual then Punishing, then nothing. Some teams do use it though.

Enigmatics · Dec 05, 2005, 02:45 AM // 02:45

That, and Punishing Shot=Power Shot+interrupt.

Try mixing Wild. Survival w/ Fire magic. Points distributed to Conjure Flame and Kindle do more damage than points only in Kindle.

And high break points in expertise: Concerning QS, you can have level 13 expertise and still have a 2 cost Quick Shot, but at level 14, your TF will be 1 less energy to use.

4runner · Dec 08, 2005, 12:37 AM // 00:37

It's not a mystery, they don't stack. Anet knows this and supposedly it "will be fixed in a future update."

r a m e n x 1 · Jan 11, 2006, 12:34 AM // 00:34

so is the build updated with all the other ppl's suggestions/corrections?

oops
nvm
didn't read the rest xD
so when are you coming up with another one?

4runner · Jan 11, 2006, 12:38 AM // 00:38

well it depends on when you cast the spells, it actually requires a certain order of cast to get rtw/fw to stack!! Should nt be that hard to figure out!! It has been tested they do stack, just cast in certain order

RTW/fw stack!!

Stacking them once every 60-odd seconds, for a total of 24-odd seconds, excluding having aegis go up right after all that etc, is not very effective
