Was originally gonna post this in the Vang skill/gear thread, but it's a derailment of the OP, so I'm making a new post for it.
And I', certain there will be flamage at some point, so it goes here instead of general population.
Am I going to be considered a gimp because I will most likley never have the above items?
Out of the list above, the only +1's I am gonna consider are the War Boots and the Dusk Trousers (NQ consideration). And *maybe* the Amemit +1.
I consider most of those things listed gaudy rich-man's gear that aren't necessary. Nice, granted, but not feasable for me. But if not having them means either of the following, I will cease wasting my money on Ranger right now (and probably quit the game because no other job appeals to me enough to start from scratch):
Miss a slug shot/sidewinder.
Miss more than 2-3 ranged attacks per battle.
From my party Friday night (which was excellent, thank you guys), I missed 1 slug shot at greater than 150%TP (223TP with food on, I still don't really understand how/why it missed other than random fluke) and was averaging 1-2 missed ranged attacks per battle, often times not missing any.
I considered that acceptable, which is to say, better or equal to any Ranger I've ever partied with.
So, again, at end game, am I not going to be able to perform at my desired skillset without all those items?
Also, just a simple question here becuase I don't know, are there really situations at end game where the Longbow (E.Bow) is demanded over Crossbow or Gun? If so, how/why?
And I might as well ask this too, when are the Strider Boots necessary for pulls outside of skink-family mobs?
