I think what asheras mant with this post was to see if there was anyone using dex based rangers doing good. I have not seeing any at all. The few mlee rangers I see out there are all str based in khopesh, but scimitar is intresting.

In theory, you can have about the same as str (loost some from LD but gain from capstone), you have one less stat to gear and get useful reflexes. But will use a 14/x3 weapon instead of 16/x4, and the result is that after 20 attacks you will do one time less base damage, but benefit more from procs that trigger on crit. I think it is worth now that evasion is a thing, if I was going to build a ranger I'd definitly go dex with scimitars. Unfortunally I don't think it's worth to play a ranger unless you like because it lags behind barb and paladin so much in AoE damage and you don't need more single target damage than what you have on THF barb. So, just my oppinion, TWF is complete flavor.


That's exactly what I was saying.  I found Sev's claim dubious and wanted to see if others found it an odd statement too. 

I decided to try a dex scim elf build to check out the new ranger pass and didn't find the DPS to be anywhere close to a khopesh TWF build.

Meh.  I have a debit card, credit card, and paypal.  never offered to use any to buy a friend online.   Keep mentioning debit cards.  It doesn't remind anyone of your Pay4Pal PM.   Really.  Weak ass.

You'd be stupid to set up a paypal account (hackers faggot), they get breached all the time and never report it.  If a site doesn't have a secure card entry portal, you don't buy; and always go amex because they always take your side in a merchant dispute.

On LD with overwhelming critical you are doing 38 times your damage in 20 rolls, and 37 with scimitars. That's about 2.7% DPS (a litlle less considering the scimitars will get more damage from seeker and blasts/bursts effects), for the cost of the khopesh feat. The capstone gives you 4 dex, wich would make even the dex you could get on LD, but now you have not only the extra feat but some more points to spend on destiny. 3 go to critical damage and the rest is extra constitution...

I think that amount of damage you loose cannot be noticiable, and the trade off is already worth it considering you get a feat, some con and some seeker, to make your reflex work, what is definitly noticiable.

Now there is another thing: by dumping strength that opens more investiment room to put in int and maybe get more out of kta. I have not run the numbers and I don't know if you can get all you want from the ranger trees and still get kta.

Definitly I see no reason to play a str based ranger instead of a dex based ranger, but I wouldn't do an elf. Human is just too good with those boosts. I'm not sure why you felt your DPS was way down on dex based, but probably that's because you went elf. Also, as khopeshes crit harder but less often you may feel they do a lot more damage than scimis, but the real difference, for rangers is pretty low (less than 2.7%).

any elf with a scimitar will outperform a khopesh every time; for OTHER races, a khopesh may be better...but you're already talking about a sub-gimp.

So to recap, based on your claims we can infer that you're as white as snow, hung like a hamster and probably early twenties having never held a job and still living with mum or grandma, living in a deluded fantasy of a retired navy seal on a tropical island playing with yourself all day.

Me thinks you would struggle to wash your own socks KNN.

uh, dude; the average hamster is 18 cm long, with a 3.6 cm penis; that would be like a 6 ft. human male (I'm 6'4", faggot) having something on the order of a 44 inch penis.  do you even wikipedia, nigger?

I wasn't referring to any ratio, but actual hamster size - now 3.6cms would be a bit generous given your infatuation with your genitals.

Glad you didn't deny the other items.    Wink
6'4" - so you're 5'2" and morbidly obese then?
You'd have to be with all the time you spend on these forums and searching Wikipedia for pics of hamster     Shocked

Nice try P4P.   Grin
I didn't claim to know anything about them - you did.
I merely used a metaphor.  You're the one who googled it bro.

Dig, dig, dig....

PS - my 4 yr old has a more educated opinion than you....so you're setting the bar pretty low.
