So I was in a group with a ranger and that headshot was major dps. Is a ranger better than a zerker for dps??
Thoughts?
Thanks!

my ranger tops mage and necro by a bit if on headshotables. the buffs are nice, and if playing manually so are the crowd control and pulling skills. just rangers like to squish and gate with some of those heafty crits!
More like:It depends, each class excels in certain situations.
Single Target Headshotable mobs : Ranger
Multiple Target AoE: Zerker
Single Target Boss: tie
ive not ever grouped with a good zerker i dont think, and havnt run one myself. ranger burns with headshot in ME, i cant pull the mobs to camp while burning because they die before getting there. tend to save the burn until there are 3-4 mobs up or its a waste of some of it. great fun, one of my fav classes to drive as main toon.More like:
single target, non-burn: Ranger
multi-target AE or when burning : Zerker
Rangers are better ADPS, zerkers are better dps. That being said, zerkers are just bad rogues/monks... so do with that what you will.So I was in a group with a ranger and that headshot was major dps. Is a ranger better than a zerker for dps??

They hit things, and can FD.... thats better than a zerker who can just hit things. Monks also have really good synergy with other melees, they just don't do what they used to.Zerks are bad monks? Huh? Monks are wIzzy level dps. First time Iāve heard monks in a few years brought up as good dps.
Ranger > ZerkerRanger adps is pretty solid and very underrated class. I could probably see the best melee group at the moment having a ranger but no zerker.
This coming from a guy who has always loved his zerker.

Zerkers can decap, but that means basically nothing unless you're endlessly grinding AA or something. If your game goes above the group game at all, rogues are better than zerkers.
Redcenting for the Stephen Amell references. Oliver Jonas Queen would make one hell of an EQ ranger. :P he'd probably top every dps chart forever. Multishot ftwRanger > Zerker
I mean if you want to hit things and fd...make a SK...even my trashbox sk's...who are now getting 1.5 epic(ed) <insert cheer> usually end up in par, usually slightly below dps wise...and most of the time above my zerkers...they can also tank, pull, and have a pet that gigglesThey hit things, and can FD.... thats better than a zerker who can just hit things.

So Ranger then a rog and then a zerker?
this is such a wide and broad question that has a lot of variationAnyone know the parse difference between a zerker and a rogue?
Using KA on headshot trash mob and my ranger is about 1m dps, vs my mage ctwn tank puller 500k, and 300k for my ctwn necro. necro is ftp, other two paid and aug'd.rog > everybody else for now.
It's interesting people are saying rangers are this good DPS unless they are driving directly. I'd love to see a few parses or ballpark burst and avg dps. I hate how far my ber have fallen behind my rogue - but my ranger can't compete with either - not automated.

You'd have to look at missions to get anything that is even remotely relevant. Imo, parses of individual static zone mobs during an extended xp session are next to worthless.all casters take time to spin up burns. Rog/zerker/rng always top first. There isnt a group mob ive found that lives long enough to get a good caster burn.

Just my 2 red cents:
Ive main'ed a ranger since i have started EQ. The class is amazing and ive seen its ups and downs for each new expansion. However, in any group content i have played, ive always had a ranger so i am a little bias.
But more to the point; Some of the good options of having a ranger is a backup tank in group content (papertanks YAY!), headshots, buffs, synergy.
Favorite group so far is SK/SHM/BRD/RNG/BER/ROG. = I have switched out the ROG and BER with a BST and i believe i get more out of the group with the ROG gone instead of BER. But pick your flavor and what you like.
Rangers in all have great utility and can do a lot of things if you drive with them.
killer dps on those burns!So is that consistent 1 million or or on burn? 1 million consistently is betetr than I expected. I'll have to try my ranger out again with it when I have time (running epics on 2 shaman right now for 2 new groups).
My burns can hit over 2-2.5 million and the sustained I beelive is closer to 1.2 million but there are dips down to 700-800k also.
Same boat - on not watching closely.killer dps on those burns!
had some burns going im sure. ive seen it spike for more (not 2m), but 1m happens regularly. im not looking at more specific numbers because ive read that the Advanced DPS can be iffy and ive always burn going when not driving. so not scientific
badass! ive some tuning to do, but not gonna hit that.I normally hit 9m + on a 6 man burn. even mission mobs dont last long enough to get a full value.
