Rng's post patch

[ForteTeppo]

Now the patch is done, did any improvment come to rng? or is it still the same as before?

 

[Synical]

tested it last night. the "fix" was more or less what i was expecting.

in mobs face: sharpshot+barrage = full 7 hits with damage reduction applied.
from "damage" range: sharpshot+barrage = full 7 hits!!(<-rare these days) for max damage.

max being the difference of an additional 570+/- damage btw on the mob i tested on.

all in all, this means that mayhap barrage will be more reliable than it has been since the nerf.

i saw some rngs talking about how "awsome" this would be if you max merited the timer (lol). but thats a load of crap imho.

if this does (only tested it once each time) make barrage useful again, youd be nuts to link sharp to anything other than barrage.
and since rng cant merit barrage timer lower to match a merited shaprshot recast, theres not much point in meriting it.

all in all, its certianly useful. but hardly awe inspiring.
the ammo quivers were a bigger boon to us than this is.

They aren't implimenting all the job patches at once. I suspect they haven't done all their changes to rng yet.

While using Barrage in Dynamis as a RNG69 I noticed that barrage was a lot more effective. I had no complete misses and only about 1-2 1 hit barrages. Most of my barrages landed almost perfectly with only missing maybe 1-2 arrows some of the time.

it was in the last update news. the RNG one was done.

sharp and barrage can't be meritted together? the timers are both the same aren't they?

can't go 5/5 like agg/zerk?

Barrage can't be merited

Missed that one I guess.

Ranged accuracy will no longer be determined by the distance from the target when using the ranger ability“Sharpshot.”

Link doesn't work, but I did read about that ability before. I figured they would be doing more than just that. They made a small change to whm 2hour, but I'm expecting more changes for better or worse than just that.
