Thanks,
Pr0gram~ If you use it strictly by itself the dps isn't great, but when used with a good damage buff (prep, weapon spell, or enchant), the DPS is amazing, especially since the last buff it recieved. The true strength of this skill is that it can let you pump out arrows at an incredibly fast refire rate.

i think with glass arrows, conjure whatever/vamp u can get pretty nasty dps with needling shot.
i used conflagoration and a vamp bow, and i think u can hit 60dps~ with needling.
30+5+19+15 or something like that
duelshot and maurders can hit for over 100 that buffed up.
brutal weapon and forked arrow would be pretty painful too.
screaming shot might be worthwhile too, depends how many slots u got and average time to death
/a for augry of death, if u must have a deep wound

/a for augry of death, if u must have a deep wound Or... you know.... you could NOT gimp your entire skillbar by making it revolve around Conjures.
Needling Shot + Glass Arrows is fairly decent DPS, works nicely against dazed targets too. Speaking from a strictly PvE standing point obviously... Was proving its worth yesterday in GoP, Needling Shot hitting for 71 + 5 vampiric damage each arrow.

how did u buff your needling shot damage upto 71?
the bigger issue with my build is the reliance on buffs for damage, prebattle casts are annoyingly long. its what i really disliked about the dervish too..

its fun. Used to run it a lot in ab and with one dual shot you'll be doing about 100+ dmg on a 60 al casterA
Rangers don't have very good upfront DPS. If you want that, make a warrior, or a dervish, or an assassin, or a dervish. Where the ranger shines is it's ability to strike from a range, spread conditions (Poison, bleeding, burning, daze, crippled, blind) that are easily to apply and aren't too situational, having the best interupts in the game, and having the best stances (Whirling defence and Natural stride beat the pants off anything else) for surviving. Also throw in a decent self heal in troll unguent, useful spirits, and traps.

I'm going to refute what people have been saying about bow dps. Lets keep in mind that dps means *everything* that causes health loss over time. With that in mind, lets take burning arrow as an example...
Assuming a ranger has at least 14 points in marksmanship (a reasonable assumption), burning arrows deals 5 seconds of burning. Thats 14 damage per second for 5 seconds(70 damage in all). Since burning arrows has a five second recharge time, a ranger can almost constantly keep an enemy on fire. Thats pretty good considering we just ignored the added damage from burning arrows, preparations, and any shots the ranger may have fired within the 5 second period.
I call that pretty good dps
