Tes wanted me to post.  This is my current build, a 92 point uber completionist fury thrower.  Halfling for crit range.  Fighter for multiplier. Sun stance most of the time for multiplier. Currently sitting at 268ish ranged power in reaper with action boosts for red named adrenaline beat down.

no that's legit, and I actually always suspected they were sort of a wash given SA applicability vs. RP considerations vs Base Damage vs Multiplier, people liked to make a really big stink about Ethereal, but truth be told I usually ran with Arborea most lives because I liked bigger crits, sue me.

Have you tried LD? It's pretty sweet in infinite action boost mode.
Have you tried Falconry (with DI)? It's pretty sweet dumping Int.
Have you tried moar helpless damage?

I wouldn't listen to this guy. He apparently doesn't know that sneak attack scales with 1.5x RP and helpless.

I definitely wouldn't bother with Sneak of Shadows if you're not doing Scion of Ethereal. Scion of Ethereal is generally better, but yeah it is a fiddly pain in the ass kinda thing. It makes you want to switch to Shadowdancer for the inherent SA immunity bypass proc when you know you're going into SA immune content with no rogue to remove it.

The Vulnerability proc only affects energy damage.

Testing sneak attack helpless scaling was confusing if you're watching the floaty number scroll, because for some reason the damage is added to the base number, not the sneak attack number. But it kind of makes sense from the perspective of the combat log, because it treats base damage + sneak attack damage as the same number.

My god you and sobby can be melodramatic. Does the 20 RP scales your other SA damage? You have about as much RP as base damage; however, ( ! ) the RP scales your damage better than the SA because....

You didn't answer this point. The proportion of the damage of a fury shotter that comes through adrenaline is important. You chimed in that I was wrong without any math.  I did provide some math.

@Rubbins' point

My spreadsheet tested whether or not the helpless SA was added to front number. I found that it did in fact add to the front number.

The helpless damage is added to the front number AFTER the critical multiplier is calculated. You do not get to multiply your SA by crits.

It affects physical damage. When you're gonna fury shot, you stack vulnerability stacks first with an LGS.

LD is much shittier in my experience.

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought "400%" was referring to 4 attacks per animation. Yes, Arborea may well be the better choice if you are married to Fury.

Your comparison still seems confused to me though. Citing "33" sneak attack seems to be comparing just the (slightly off) damage of the Sneak of Shadows feat to Scion of Arborea.

Edited:

You could take heavy repeater at 3 and swap for completionist later.

Thanks for that. I'll be over here forking myself vigorously.

Man, understatement after playing Sorc. I needed a break from the graphics. Now I need a break from super slow ranger. This was a mistake!

Thinking again after making level 7, lots of ranger level might have to go twf. Can not wait to get a few more levels and switch to something that resembles dps. It was a long time ago when I did my last shuri life. Still will just post lfms and hope to get carried.

nah not first life, just playing around with the leveling.

I guess swapping feats is gonna help it a bit more, bow is too slow.
