Looking to play ranged either Monkcher or Shuritosser next life.  Which is better now at current end game?  I have played both before, but its been about 7 months.  Been stuck on melee lately.

depends on your gear.. One has mega burst dps (monkcher), the other steady high dps/procs

Not sure about Monkchers but for a tosser, my main is still Notharhar's Meteor Shower 2 here... http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1406219054

He's parked at 28 with eCompletionist done, tons of utility, solo's most EE stuff, helps in channel run EE raids and farms gear, tomes and remnants.

I prefer the above build to say the first lifer Shuricannon I'm running on an alt right now  Tongue

Same here.  I haven't played ranged since swashbuckler came out so, wasn't sure how either stood up in MOD/Necro 4.  That was my previous impressions though with monkcher as better burst and shuri as more sustained.

Personally for a more long term build I'd be looking into shurikens over monkchers.


Hmm...should anything more than just personal opinion be read into that?

I've run a fair bit of EE MOD/Necro 4 and it's fine. I typically run in Shadow Dancer for Sealed Life and Grim Precision but DPS is slightly better it seems in Crusader and you get immunity to encasement in MOD.

My experience is the opposite but then my Shuricannon is a first lifer.

I did notice that levelling in Epics the Metshow2 is higher DPS by a considerable margin.

yeah, for general questing i ran in LD, for MOD i use crusader (cus.. that fuckin bitch hates halfings what with the repeated encasments and blue wisps of life-draining death..),, Anyhow, Ive never run in Shadowdancer, though could see its appeal

Should be in Exalted for Mod on shuriken thrower.
Shall not get encased unless really unlucky - keep jumping on ranged toon.

Yes.  Ranged pass is live on Mournlands and it is a high and mighty kick to the nuts of Monkchers.  Sadly, no other ranged classes will be getting a buff.  Suck it ranged combat!

Well, that’s how I choose to read Munk’s comment.

There is no council server. We've all gotta wait on Lam together.

We don't need previews to know the ranged pass will never happen. Though the Warlock pass will shit on monks and rangers. At Turbine, "nerf" stands for Never, Ever, Range-Friendly.

Warlocks looking like a worthy reason to come back, from what ive seen of it at least.. Guess well see how they take it from current design, into the game, to decide if its worthy however. Will be a nice change for my glass cannon atm however

Mournlands is dead...as of over a year ago. That's no secret.
