The best IAS for a Ranger with little investment in tactics is flail. It has no energy cost and since you have no aderaline skills you can keep spamming it and you simply take dodge or stormchaser to cancel it and keep on moving.

Skills:
1. Distracting Shot
2. Savage Shot
3. Punishing Shot (Elite)
4. Read The Wind
5. Favorable Winds
6. Dual Shot
7. Troll Unguent
8. Mending

Weapons:
Vampiric Bow (Not compulsary)

Skill 4,5 and 6 are used as the calculated hit would be high. Look:
24 (average hit) x 1.5 (Dual Shot) + 10 + 10 (Read The Wind) + 6 + 6 (Favorable Winds) + 5 + 5 (Vampiric) = 78!

Marksmanship: 11
Wilderness Survival: 14
Expertise:9
Healing Prayers: As high as you can get.

Skills:
1. Distracting Shot
2. Savage Shot
3. Incendiary Arrows (Elite)
4. Read The Wind
5. Favorable Winds
6. Dual Shot
7. Troll Unguent
8. Mending

Skill 4,5 and 6 are used as the calculated hit would be high. Look:

24 (average hit) x 1.5 (Dual Shot) + 10 + 10 (Read The Wind) + 6 + 6 (Favorable Winds) + 5 + 5 (Vampiric) = 78!
Weapons:
Vampiric Bow (Not compulsary)

Build No. 3

Atts are:

Yea...if you don't like his build, then more power to you, but it really speaks volumes about you if you come and post with nothing but an empty degrading statement.

Flail is actually a Strength attribute skill, so no investment is possible to a warrior secondary, but it still works well with Barrage since adrenaline can be gained quickly.

Sure does. You know just aswell as I do that having Mending in every bar is a joke, or just somethings seriously wrong. Basically, No comment.

Then why bother making a post if you have nothing useful to say? All it does is make you look like a jerk.

Flail actually doesn't work out too bad in any build with a few 1/2 sec shots. Not as good as frenzy, but certainly with less of a danger.

Sir Mad · Dec 29, 2006, 03:13 PM // 15:13

Actually the main problem I see with Frenzy now is the energy cost, since expertise no longer works with non-ranger stances. So yeah, Flail is not that bad, even without Barrage/Quickshot/Needling Shot.

By the way, Flury does increase your DPS despite the damage reduction, so it doesn't only help spam the additional damage from your preps/enchants/whatever) - it's something like 110% your normal DPS (maybe a bit more - I'm not quite sure).
