So, my next life will be ranger and for flavor, I want to use a bow fulltime.

The thing is: tier 5 in deepwood is looking much better to me then tier 5 in arcane archer. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

You are correct.

The best single ability is, of course, slaying arrows but that is for tier 5 AAs. The overall best tier 5, however, is the DWS tier 5. There are 3 or 4 very good abilities in it whereas the rest of the AA tier 5 abilities (besides slaying arrows) is just meh.

deepwood stalker = kill yourself faggot, AA is still far superior, though it won't be for long (they're getting rid of slayer arrows).

DWS T5.

Sniper shot is actually starts to outpace Slayer arrow once you base damage and Ranged Power is high enough, especially since it's usable 5x as often (6 second cooldown). I know you don't need T5 for Sniper shot, but 20% Double shot, +5 Damage, 25 stacks of AF for red/purple names, and addl FE damage and choice is aruably a bit better than slayer. And you can get most of hte best stuff in AA without t5, such as bow multi and up to t4 Imbues which now do a fair amount of damage if you work on your SpellPower a little bit.

All of my time trials on Lamm showed DWS out damaging AA by 5-10% over time.

yeah, you're never going to hit for over +40k with a fucking sniper shot, faggot.

this ia good question, both give 4 Dex, but AA gives 20% DS, and the other gives 20 Ranged Power.

Since Doubleshot increases your chance of giving you an extra shot, but RP gives more power to your existing primary shot and your potnetial doubleshot arrow, I have to think that DWS will be more useful in the long run. But I have not done the actual math for final RP and Doubleshot values for a Pure ranger, and the devil is actually in those details. Honestly, it probably doesn't make a difference. If you're just doing a Ranger PL, and aren't going past level 20, it's irrelevant.

lern 2 ddo, i don't have the inclination to educate you.

239   FTFY idiot. 

elven racial gives you +4 dam, +4 hit

fvs favored weapons gives you +4 dam, +4 hit; inflame buff for another +4 damn, +4 hit

fighter kansai gives you +4 dam, +4 hit (and a crit modifier to all your shots)  along with weapon meditation (up to +10 damage)

you're giving up +26 damage from other trees by fucking around with that deepwoods shit; +29 if you caount the crit damage bonus (+3, I think...)

no need to be rude to me. just because you've let yourself be caught up in a bunch of newbie 4chan shit talk here on DDOVault, I have a long history of doing lots of testing and math on builds. I've always been striving to contribute constructively to knowledge on building things in DDO, regardless of whether or not I'm always right.

The character assassination of me here is overdone.

FTFY   

I would appreciate if you could make another post trying claim credit so I can substitute how you get your data from others.

Tell us, do you remember when you were trying to shit on the posters who were doing testing? how you got all bent out of shape because they were doing full runs?
