the launcher currently doesn't ever have anything to "watch" in the plugin section.

mq2ranger is in "pre-release" so as mentioned in the vid and the FAQ, it is included with RG's VV for a short time to "try before you buy"
 
Hi Sic and CWTN,

requesting highly that the both of you look into nadoswap for MQ2Ranger. seeing that if not in RANGED mode the ranger would go onot melee mode at which case you would want duel weild on the ranger and as previous stated on an earelier post if on RANGED mode you want that ranger to be equipping its best 2 hander.

Tested:tested this scenerio numerous times and the ranger does what it needs to do but when in melee mode i found a loss ofdps.


just a request.

Thank you

I heard you the other 2 times.

Appreciate it.
 
put the ranger to chase 70 ranged on and you will use archery

and dont forget to up camp radius to 100 80 chase is best so far

move back would help in some of the tight areas but if in close quarters just manually move it sic does the rest

Sic does the rest? You mean the plugin? I think Sic would let me know if he was traveling the county to go play other peoples rangers.

I am not 100% convinced on this.

Group game I have seen my RNG own with his 2H weapon vs duel wield. Now if you are trying to make the argument of more procs, yes because you have 2 different procs not counting augs and such.

If you have some parses to compare, ill run some test this weekend and we can compare. But for now, my ranger has been 2H weapon year round since COV
 
I'm liking this a lot!
Only thing I have noticed so far is that my ranger doesn't taunt in tank or puller tank mode. He is assigned tank and ma roles.

I can confirm this.

Also casts this in tank mode too.123tank.PNG

Dont think we need this if we are trying to tank and save people with our paperness lol

Turn taunt on with the "/rng gate" command.

Thanks again for putting out a quality product. Looking forward to it.

That ranja skill is more commonly called "gate" round here

Man, beat me to the joke. I need to swipe faster on my phone :xd:

Q: I want to tank, why not do more tank stuffzx?
A: We may add more tanking stuff later, but that definitely won't be the focus or the goal

Did see that, just confirming is all.


Just wanted to add to what ive found for tanking also:

Capture11.PNG
Uses this instead of enraging disc line.

Capturemelee.PNG
Uses Pureshot disc instead of Dusk-line (Melee)

I know MQ2Ranger is new and all hehe, i am just putting it threw its paces lol
 
Ah I see. I was just going off the graphic in the cwtn guide and assumed using taunt in tank mode was universal across the plugins if available.

yep eventually.

but if you skipped the FAQ, you should just really please not :(

That is in there for a reason and on purpose.

I'll have some of that stuff added over the next few days - but again, definitely not the focus or the goal
 
@r0rb @Grpsmashin

Yes ill send you what i have found
 
lul trust circle - i genuinely had no clue that rangers had a taunt button =p monks kinda got scammed on that (i do know, obv, that rangers are semi-half warriors, but didn't know about the taunt)
 
"full time used toilet paper salesman" needs to make the hall of fame for best line ever. I am still laughing my ass...thank you Sic!
 
ChatWithThisName updated MQ2Ranger with a new update entry:

10/28/2023d

- added Taunt usage during tanking
-- for shame.
- Added Weapon Shield (but no usage, yet)
- Added Enraging Kicks
-- used during Tanking instead of Jolting Kicks
- Will no longer use Silent Strikes during tanking burns
- no longer put chameleon's gift on the MA
-- will now put it upon ourselves unless we're the MA
- Removed blank entries from ST Shield line (resulting in a "report to cwtn")

Read the rest of this update entry...

Thank you
I would setup your bandos and manually switch. There are too many variables such as if the situation is better for dual wield or using a 2h weapon for melee (example bard in group or not). Some folks use a different two hander for melee damage (with direct damage proc augs), separate from their bow 2 hander (with sympathetic procs/augs). There really shouldn't be alot of back and forth flipping between range and melee if it is for group content, that would just depend on your camp situation, and you can use the settings as they are for what is best for that camp.

If you're doing endgame content you should be bowing 98% of the time, and if your camp has the room just have ranged on, and the stickhow drop down to select the one with 35 move back. If you just want to melee in tight corners, turn off ranged, and select a different stickhow. If you need help with this, I can be more specific on how to set them up with options.

For raiding you should manually swap (bandos and your stickhow etc.) based on situations as appropriate to navigate raid mechanics. You can even setup hotkeys to swap it from your driver toon.

i think you are getting me wrong. when your doing in ranged miodes with 50hdex versus 2 hander that gives u 150 go think. i have posted pix earlier if u didnt care to look

Hdex is a mute point if you have it over 2600 in heros....

I also saw what you were saying and said picture. I will still rock the 2H weapon over duel-wield because of DMG. I also believe you were stating that using 2H give you better stats.

If your stats arent maxed yet then parse it out. Only trying to be helpful here
 
So, ill kick myself if i dont ask...

How well does the plugin handle Ranger Gate? :p as we all know, its an integral part of the class!
