Just had a bug where I didn't go out of combat after killing. Nagafen's Lair on hell, after killing Warlord Skarlon. Also couldn't open the travel window to try and reload to fix it, had to reload the page and lose my progress.

There should be a way to see combat abilities when out of combat BTW. And if they updated with talents

What talents do you have? Not sure what happened tbh.

Not sure, I've changed them about a dozen times in an hour. Think it was the whole right column maxed and a point or two in to everything else.

So Harm Touch got another secret buff? Seems to be hitting for almost double. 4-6k instead of the sadass 2.5-3.5k before.

Still weak as a sickly kitten. Take it back to the 5 minute cooldown and make it hit for like 15-20k. Supposed to be a big OH SHIT 1 time attack.

This makes me wonder how OP rangers are. Now that I am geared and level 97, I sit around 9000-12000 dps. 7500 dps just using my main attack. This means my regular main attacks (not auto attacks, but just the base attack) hit for upwards of 7k on soft targets (three shots for 21k if they all crit at 60% crit chance) and is spammable with 60% haste. Is parity meant to exist? It doesn't particularly matter since there is no PVP, but it makes leveling an alt hard because of the precedent set by the main.

This is regular and this SS was taken before I had maxed haste and rose crit. The mobs were all lvl 95+.

My level mid-50s ranger (edit: Just tested, he easily beats the SK by 200ish DPS+)my level 95ish SK in single-target damage. With talents I can do 700-800ish DPS with the SK fairly reliably. That's with +45% damage worth of debuff stuff on the target.

It's not a super fair comparison because the SK just can't handle groups like a Ranger can, but the damage in general is pretty sad. Wouldn't be so bad except the survivability isn't anything special. Have 2 long cooldown lifetap type abilities, if both hit big it's awesome but all too often I'll Death Strike for 400 damage and that's hardly even worth the global cooldown it uses.

Part of it is gear I guess. Wearing a few pieces of chain just because I haven't found any plate in those slots that compares. I could pick up like 10-20 armor in those slots but would give up every stat. Just haven't gotten lucky.

Best ability by far is Gasping Frenzy, except for it to really shine I need to be nearly dead. Fun to play with on easy trash stuff(as long as there's only 1), but it's not something I can even vaguely maximize on any fight that matters. As cool as it is to see my 45/45 weapon(elite blue random vendor) fire out 18 hits in a second or two I have to be sub-20% life for it to happen.

Haven't tried Hell Nagafen since talents went in. Before that he just shove my shit in. I'd need a couple hundred fire resist to make it worth wearing, and I don't even think I've seen armor with enough to get there much less get there and still have enough stats to actually kill him.

The main thing I still play him for is in vain hopes of some random elite uniques, mostly to twink the Ranger=P There's no reason every class has to be equal, but maybe some indicator before you pick a class which ones are easier or harder would be nice. Ranger easy mode, SK Medium difficulty, Cleric go F yourself.

I have a bard, monk, warrior and necro on the go right now, but my patience is pretty thin for most of them. I actually really like easy mode ranger because it is kind of meditative to play a browser based game like this after spending all day with the family or running a business. Farming Elites is fun stuff, finding room for them is not so easy. But it is nice just blazing through all the bosses, resetting and doing it again a few times an hour.

What I can't figure out is life leech on my alts. I have 35 life leech on my ranger and unless I get feared, I cannot die (I get feared a lot). I have 25 life leech from elite rares on my level 10 monk, and it heals for 1 HP a hit.

Something is all wanged up. SK wasn't attacking no matter what attacks. Figured it was some talent so went and reset them. Attacking fine with no talents. With 20 in Gasping Frenzy, 20 more in Summon dead NP. Bug came back when I maxed out Fear talent.

Sooo, yeah. Hope that helps you unwang my SK=P

Ummm... not seeing it here. Chrome?

Ok, maybe it's the heat blood talent? I did find a problem there. In fact, I went ahead and uploaded now to help you out.

Firefox.

Actually it wasn't Fear, it was Heat Blood. Just logged back in and everything seemed normal. No ides what it was. Tried a couple zones before and it was everywhere. Pet damage was working though.


edit: Yeah, that's what I call service=)

edit2: Spoke too soon. Re-wanged on next pull. As soon as Heat Blood ticks once all my attacks except Riposte stop doing anything. Cooldown triggers etc, no attack.

Refresh again!

Seems all good now. And for the record I did refresh before the last post a couple times=P

Ya. I fucked up.

Screwing around with some talents.

Death Strike's 20 point is cool and has potential, but it needs some work. It adds a bleed effect. 6 ticks for a set %(1?) of the enemy's current HP.

It should maybe display the damage in a different color than white just to make it stick out.

The bleed should definitely heal you for some amount. 40-50% of what it ticks for if it stays in it's current form would be good. If the class is going to stay low DPS it needs a serious upgrade to survivability. And with Life Tap hitting for 400some damage way too often on such a long cooldown it's just not going to cover it.

Most importantly, it needs to do more damage. Period. It's decent at the start, but as they get lower the bleed gets weaker way too fast. Either needs to keep working off their MAX hp, or needs to not stay in lockstep with their current HP somehow. So that the later applications aren't so weak.

Hammer of the Dragonborn proc gives a syntax error about unrecognized dragon breath icon __ .

I was going to mention that this might not be the right thread for that, and then I just got a sweet Hammer of the Dragonborn and it's broken proc thing so now it applies. =D


BTW hammer more than doubled my DPS. Shit is silly, but it was soooo necessary.

Can you link a pic of the hammer?

It's totally changed the game from the random generic 45/45 hammer I had. Went from slow killing 1 thing at a time to pulling 5 at a time in Hate. Without changing anything else.

In a bajillion clears of all the bosses, I have never once seen that. It is sick and my monk is gonna want that lol. Also what does the proc do?

edit: also at level 9, my monk had an elite 43/45. It is scary to think that will be my weapon until the 90s...

Lord Nagafen is engulfed in Dragon's Breath.

No idea what it does, supposed to be a dot or something I guess since the error is about the icon not being found.

Got some random ass 53/46 or some such hammer off a vendor right after I got this one=P Some twink or other will be dropping bombs.

That weapon is insane. Would very much like 2 of them please.

Got this bow a little bit later. Had to go and check what Goats was using in his hell farm video to see if the ratio was as ridiculous as it looked.



Spam AE farming stuff 5+ levels above your Ranger is silly.

Req level 68 is typically the highest tier item you can find. Congrats on the finds, guys! Also, fixing the stupid proc now. Will be working tonight.

I use a 50/39, nice find!
