I see that the DPS8 has no percentage, this might cause the issue.

By the way, your burn section is not correct: you activate both Bow and Melee disc.

For max effect on Melee, you should have:
Auspice
Guardian of the forest
Pack hunt
Bosquestalker's Discipline
Imbued Ferocity
Scout's Mastery of the elements
Outrider's accuracy
Empowered Blades


These do stack and will maximise your burn

Thanks,

Any thoughts on the mac not starting with DPSOn=1 being on? It will run with DPSOn=0

It mentions something to do with line 4917

 

[ninalia]

ChaseAssist=0 try ChaseAssist=1

 

[reghar]

Try this one:

I changed a few things on your .INI for a ranger lvl 100 taking into account:

- Rangers have higher DPS in melee (unless you are playing with headshottable mobs) so Autofire=0
- It's better to use Devastating Impact usually, Deafening Weapons Rk. II is to be used when the ranger is tanking
- I added Buffs16=Ro's Burning Cloak Rk. II & Buffs17=Arbor Veil Rk. II; especially interesting when you tank but doesn't hurt to have it all the time
- DPS wise it's better to use exclusively Summer's Gale Rk. II
- I moved Jolting Kick to the Aggro section

- Ferocious Kick & Focused Stormblades are better to be defined in the MQ2melee: make sure that servername_charactername.ini file has a [MQ2Melee] section (type /melee save) and that

ferociouskick=1
stormblades=1

Let us know how it works

 

[FVDruid99]

It casts a few buffs, then when it gets to clicking items as buffs it crashes

Any thoughts?

 

[calaxa]

Covered several times before but one of your items is not a clicky:

Buff8=Harmonic Hive Choker

Focus effect, not a clicky....you're crashing on that

 

[FVDruid99]

Nice, Thanks!

Now I just need to tweak the DPS, I'm a bit low. In my case the ranger tanks

Any other thoughts as to tweaks?

 

[calaxa]

Suggest you look at my 105 ranger (compiled ini list) for dps/holies.....can have the ranger throw out discs for named/adds etc. You are raid geared so tanking should be a lot easier than it is for me

 

[reghar]

I would recommand to check & focus on the DPS AA - they can make a huge difference.

Close Combat Mastery
Scout's Mastery of Piercing/Slashing/Blunt
Veteran Wrath
Empowered Blades

are all a good start

 

[FVDruid99]

All AA is max already @ 100 - Will be at 105 with max again soon

Having a raid ranger myself I would recommend using MQ2Melee to manage your spells and abilities over Kiss. That will let you throw in some extra logic for each ability.. for example:

You don't want to run Empowering Blades and your Melee disc at the same time--sure they stack, but there's next to no benefit.
You don't want to click Imbue Ferocity UNLESS Scouts Master of Fire/Ice/Elements are all up because the gain derived from that ability is doubled from those abilities.
If you use your Melee disc you want to switch to faster weapons--why? Because it adds raw damage onto your attacks. This means switching to an expansion old 1hp with 18-19 delay will out DPS your new 1hs with 22-24 delay.

Using some well made Holyshits you can also flag yourself for "if" you get agro. If I'm on a raid I always have one running that says If I get summoned by a raid target and I'm on HOTT drop my current disc and pop a WS. Sure it's not perfect, but it works most of the time. As for pure DPSing you'll really want your DPS priority to be:

Called Shots Line
Focused Arrows Line
Either Jolting Kicks or Focused Blades Disc
Ferocious Kick
Summers Gale Line

I have a hotkey setup for raids that is simply each of these on their own line in that order and I button mash it. Here's a parse for my last Dead Hills group (letting MQ2Melee cast my spells for me). We finished the mission in under 9 minutes.

Anyone have suggestions on weapon setup for solo melee dps -- cotf raid is fine

1h? 2h?

2h will always be less DPS for rangers. 1hp is the best of you're actively cycling your abilities and spells. 1hs/1hb with the new AAs *may* be better if you're not actively cycling abilities. There are two piercers from CoTF that you can get from raids pretty easy. One is off Bixie 1, the other is off Dead Hills 1.
