[MEGA THREAD] Survey: Ranged DPS Class
Artharion
Member, Alpha Two
I'm starting this thread to launch a survey about the two classes that currently deal ranged damage. There doesn’t seem to be a consensus on which class has higher DPS in different situations, so a survey might better capture the majority’s opinion.
In my view, Ranger and Mage should have distinct roles: Mage should be more focused on AoE and casting, while Ranger should excel at single-target and sustained DPS. However, this might not be the case currently. So, I’m opening this thread with this survey and, of course, feel free to share your opinions.
The survey covers several questions, both about the type of DPS and how it’s achieved, as well as different levels, since classes scale differently.

I think different talents should change the way your class acts, so for example can spec into all aoe and/or hybrid or spec into single target burst damage or consistent damage
Shouldn’t come down to how you “feel” and more so into how everyone wants to play their class with the freedom to go into different combat directions pending the way you have used your talents in said class
Of course, but for now we can keep this survey as is. In the future we can add new surveys taking into account the situations you mention.
For example yes a Mage does single handedly do the most burst damage in the game, the counter-measure? Is it also dies the quickest, essentially a glass cannon type class with high risk, high reward as it has always been and should be since the dawn of time
Yes, but the survey is just to rate the DPS. I get your point tho.
