So what is it they actually did to ranged attack? Removing the constant load time to 0 just like throwing weapon?

They all but removed the "You must wait longer to do that" after each ranged attack.

You meant they removed the constant time reloading penalty, then?

Did they mess around with the ranged delay itself?

It's all but gone, as in you can't spam /ra and have it perma-shoot, but you no longer have to wait 1-2 seconds after a Ja or WS or RA to shoot again.

Basically you can shoot again right about the time the animation has you putting the weapon in your back pocket. I didnt have much time to play with it, but ranger just got nasty again.

I went rng/war and let myself almost die and used machine xbow with bloody bolts and refilled my hp in roughly 30 seconds (boyhowdy tree crawlers+) so thats 1000hp + incoming dmg.

Annihilator is definitley something i enjoyed. Though i didt get to do a group or vw, i can see where coronach is going to be so much nicer to use over last stand in some situations.

The only downside is ammo. The unavailability of adaman makes them expensive as hell, and the alternatives keep you from shining as bright. Gandiva should be fun also, but you might as well just let the ws land on youself, because once aftermath is engaged, youre ***. Its gonna cost 3x as much to play rng... But i don't care.. Ill farm dyna once per day to pay for ammo.

farming adamantoises in gustav tunnel isn't tooooo bad if can get a DD+THF, averaged an ore every 8 or so kills. Can solo on THF too ofc but yeah, they are quite defensive naturally, not too bad though

But yea we often taking 3-4 relic RNGs to Odin v2, and the difference in kill speed from previous kills was quite incredible last night. This adjustment ftfw

Hmm interesting. I may have to try that, but I'm afraid once you run out of voidstones it's probably not worth it since you're paying for voiddust at that point. The turtles in gustav aren't bad. I was able to get 6/hour with just BLU TH + sash. Gonna just go /thf next time as I didn't really need convert with my RDM mule. I'm sure someone will be there farming them though since I posted about it . . . seems to always be the case.

Yeah man. Some retard on our server is buying all the ingots for 200k . . . seriously wtf. I found out that the ingots drop from the small gold chests in misareaux/vunkerl/attohwa too (like the full ingot, not just ores). Seems pretty rare though, but ~64 amber is the way to go. Don't get the big chests or you'll only get o ingots.

I remember the ores dropping from ule/grauberg/altepa also but I thought the drop rate was pretty poor. This is assuming some sort of cleave method. Maybe someone can speak to this, otherwise I'm gonna go try it out later.

I did BLU charged whisker burning. CFH on current target to prevent azure from building and go to town.

Yea. I noticed the ingots at 200k last night. Quickly bought the few ore that were on the AH, so I can at least get one stack, hopefully 3 for cheap

You only receive lights for killing claimed mobs. Seeing as the "claimed" mob is cfh no lights get generated.
