Oh...makes sense then. Thanks!

Another question:

Snapshot body, I see people using Sylvan Caban +2, however isn't Furia/Ebur Jerkin a better option? I do not see their Snapshot+ values listed however I would think they beat out most bodies purely by having some snapshot, no?

Part of the "Enhances 'Velocity Shot' Effect" of Sylvan Caban +2 is a decrease in aiming delay.

Enhances Velocity Shot reduces delay by 10% (+5 Snapshot)

Quetzalcoatl.Javarr said: »

From what I can tell on the Sylvan Caban +2, the main drawing points I've seen are the +20 RACC (+29 if you calculate it's +AGI and +9 RATK from +STR), and not to mention the -9 Enmity all warped up into one sweet little package. Not sure if any of the Delve augment body's would match the RACC, but pretty sure none of them could match the -enmity. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on either of these, just my opinion.

On the Snapshot side of the question, has there been a cap found for it? I know if functions like Haste for RA, so does it follow the same rules, such as capping @ 25% or does it go beyond that?

Addendum: To answer the core question: Perhaps in instance of a Rapid Shot proc? (Wrote all that out and totally forgot the core of the question... Tired and forums do not blend well. ^.^;; )

Currently, Sylvan Caban +2 is only for preshot because it's the best Snapshot piece in that slot because of the Velocity Shot enhancement. Best body for ending shots in is Kyujutsugi and if you can't get that then Orion Jerkin +1 is pretty much the same thing with 1 more attack and accuracy but no Store TP. Some people might be playing around with the Rapid Shot and Double Shot damage +7 on Arcadian Jerkin +1 but I'm sticking with the others for now.

There is no known cap on Snapshot/Rapid Shot.

It increases the ratio of returned bullets. The maximum amount of bullets recoverable seems to be (n-1) (so if you shoot one bullet then scavenge it should never return any).

http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Scavenge

So with full merits, assumed base, and Orion Socks +1, you're looking at 81% bullet return. You could put merits into Sharpshot instead but since this is usually used with barrage, and rangers don't really have accuracy issues on anything with proper buffs, Scavenge merits are a completely acceptable option to help save you some more plasm.

So, currently, Sylvan Caban +2 is best in slot for precast? I was considering precasting the Arcadian Jerkin +1 for the enhancement to snapshot. Anyone wiser, care to comment? Many thanks.

The enhancement to Snapshot on Arcadian Jerkin +1 is a 1% chance to Double Shot per merit into Snapshot. It would be a mid-shot piece, not a pre-shot piece, unless you're using it for the Rapid Shot +12.

I'm finding out how many Rangers don't use a snapshot set on Asura.

Currently with the 119 JSE gun, full snapshot set aside from delve legs/legion feet I am outparsing EVERYONE.

So far only 2 rangers out damage me on the server both are relic(one bow one gun) and use a set.

It's quite amusing going into a Diving Might 2 and pulling top DPS with a 5% lead on 2nd who has a Yoichi and 3rd with an anni.

Also on that note, screw all the shouts asking for 119 relic ranger only. /endrant

It's +5 Snapshot which is equivalent to 10% aiming delay reduction.

People shout for relic RNGs simply because of the hate control their weapons provide by default. If you're going all out with a non-relic weapon you will pull hate, and the NM will run to you and ***on all the RNGs.

I LOL'd at this. then again...it's Asura. For every good *insert job* there's about 500 bandwagons that can't figure out basic mechanics and just wear whatever and think they're awesome. I'm not even that great of a ranger, and I'd never make that bold of a claim given who I normally run around with. lol show them the way soups!

Will anyone that sees a pair of Iuitl Wristbands nq or hq with Snapshot +3 please post some Screenshots of them. I have not seen a single pair on Odin.

I would like to get a feel for exactly how rare they are. I've augmented my nq and hq pair 157 times combined with no +3.

Yesterday, I +1 my Iuitl wristbands and used 5 +2 stones. I got snapshot +2 augment.

Has anyone been fortunate/lucky to get Snapshot +3?




You don't want to know how much it cost, thanks Ramzus!!!!. XD

Page 35, I've seen a few others on my server with +3 as well.

Anyone and everyone. Been doing a lot of DM2 with the linkshell and filling the other slots with pugs, most of them actually geared and with a relic.

Yea it is but so far its true. Sometimes I still win when things happen that are out of my favor like dying and still being on top.

Yea yea I know. So far all the paladins that have been tanking in my groups have been quite stellar and I have yet to hold back to not pull hate. Only one time @7% on AA Hume on Difficult did I pull hate and die. didn't care tho since he was dead 20 seconds later.

I am either not running with the good rangers like Loire mentioned because they don't pug or everyone is just bad/doesn't care.

I'm not saying I've partied with EVERY ranger on the server but so far only 2 have beaten me and everyone else who hasn't has been behind by a bit and not just 1% or so.

I don't mind helping other rangers improve their game but there isn't a good way to do it without sounding arrogant unless they ask.

I'm just surprised since last time I played this game when we got geared people running around they always blew me out of the water, now its reversed. Maybe its Asura, maybe it's me I don't know.

I don't really waste my time/plasm on PUGs, but when I do the parse is usually:

Me 60%Dmg
bandwagon1 22%
bandwagon2 18%

Most people don't care how bad they are, they just wana complete the content.

Regardless of how good the paladin is, if you are not pulling hate without a relic weapon going all out, you are either..
A. Not doing enough damage.
B. Holding back, see point A.
C. With several RNGs and Decoy Shots are keeping the hate glued to the PLD because he is counted as taking the last action on the NM in rapid succession.

Maybe I'm wrong But i think he just meant the snapshot side of things. You'd want to finish in Orion's +1 or Kyujutsugi.

You didnt specified what more stats, but all that skirmish gear hq has superior than nq is more base stats. Specific stats like haste, sTP, att, acc, even augments and their range are the same. Aside the chance for MDT. Weapons have some new slots (like weaponskill +dmg%) but thats it.

You need to call preshot before your /ra, pretty sure that's what everyone does

sorry to drag this back out, but just so i'm sure i understand....

macro should be

5 lines x /equip preshot piece
/ra

basicaly put the /ra as the last line but no /wait is needed?

So you should use two macros for best results. First macro should look like this:
/equip snapshot equipment
/ra <t>

Then the second macro you hit immediately after should look like:
/equip TP set

Don't use a wait command
