DPS14 and DPS15 Volatile arrow and Glacial arrow no longer exist in the game. This is from the November patch notes "Ranger - Consolidated Glacial Arrow and Volatile Arrow to be ranks of Elemental Arrow. The combined ability line will now increase incoming cold/fire spell and ability damage on your target for 1 minute with a 1 minute reuse time."
 
thank you @Happyfeet76 good call , gotta correct that. it is the same for outrider's attack its been merged with Outrider''s accuracy.
gonna update this evening the ini.

Why is it I'm always fighting for MANA? and my Flaming Arrows now firing off
 
Ranger's are the most unbalanced class when it comes to mana usage.

There are a lot of abilities in this ini that are wasteful. Heartsunder works on beasts and humanoids, if you are using this in ToV it obviously doesn't do anything. Two dots are unnecessary. Ice Burrower Swarm should be your dot. Dump Swarm of Hyperboreads and Pyroclastic Ash also, IMO. You want to sustain good dps and not have to med every 10 seconds? Marked shots, Focused Blizzard of Arrows, Dicho and Summer's Sleet should be your spell spam casts. Jolting kicks and Focused gale should also be spammed.
 
I've mained a ranger forever, and for the life of me I dont know why anyone uses jolting kicks. If your sk or warrior cant hold aggro over you then they need fired! Also, you want to be next on the aggro list as a ranger, because if you tank goes down you dont want the cleric having to tank it as they need to rez and get the real tank up and running. You have lots of defensive stuff if you have to tank for a minute or so. Jolting kicks...pffft....I will post my 115 ranger ini once I finish up both...ie I have a melee one for crawling tunnels / close quarters and one for just using the bow. I think you will be stunned at the amount of dps both produce.

And what Malike said about Heartsunder is correct! It's kind of a dumb spell as it will usually get you summoned lol!

I assume you are suggesting using Enraging Axe Kicks? I don't need the Ranger 2nd on the aggro list. Monk is much better suited to pick up the mob if the Tank should die. Obviously, you need to use one or the other to proc our synergy, etc.

I meant no offense in any way. We all play the way we play individually. Whats comfortable. My ranger is 5th server wide which makes a big difference in the second up as tank when shit hits the fan. Also in group situations not raid. I would love to have a monk that could have the ac and hps my ranger has but its not possible unless you are Qulas or? I dont care for either of the kicks tbh..kicks should be like ripostes to be honest. One day they will. There is no reason to have aggro and non aggro kicks from a ranger at this moment in my opinion.

Not wanting to derail the original post.

Ranger spells need to be looked at and mana cost adjusted because the only way we can stay in the parse is by mashing our spells...which is why we are always out of mana.....no other class has to do that. Especially melee / hybrid combos....oh wait...

Twitch please....(remember that from the necro days hehe)
 
My Ranger is in a top raiding guild and my Monk still tanks better. Earthforce > AC. It doesn't hurt that he's in raid gear as well, though. My tank is raid geared also and rarely ever dies so I guess I'm spoiled lol. I used to have real mana issues but now with 270k mana or so, I rarely have issues. I basically spam my 3 arrows and summers sleet and I only dot named in my group box. Cheetah really destroys mana, though. :)

Disciplines are great! They last for a minute or so...how do you have 270k mana when the highest ranger server wide is clocked at 255k mana?
 
Dunno, I currently have 353k HP and 274613 mana. 15k from shaman aura so I guess I sit at 259k self buffed no chanter etc. I always have a shaman in raid and in my box group though.

Just a head's up.
 
Hi everyone, I'm new to MQ2 and ini's etc. Do I need to manually load the spell gems to match what's in the ini? I can't seem to get my toons to auto buff,

nope, they auto load the buffs...if u post your .ini's we can check whats wrong
 
Instead of pulling with Melee, what would the setting be to have the Ranger pull with Harmonious Arrow?
Instead of strictly meleeing a mob, how would I change the setting so it uses the bow at an appropriate distance?

Thanks!
