ranger needs a new 2hr

[Dekoda]

Wouldn't it be enough to just update EES to not becoming inferior to other WSes as the ranger levels up?

I agree. EES needs an update, not a replacement. Even making it a forced critical would be a nice addition in Abyssea, lol. I seriously hardly ever need to use EES, it's best use is as a claiming tool when Shadowbind/Bounty Shot aren't up...

Also, maybe it should have 100% (or 99%) accuracy? Most other two-hours won't be wasted if one of your attacks misses. It seems unfair that ranger's two hour, which is a single, high damage shot, is still subject to the same accuracy cap as any of their other attacks

100% agree. It doesn't need a new one, the idea that a rng's 2 hour does a burst of dmg makes a lot of sense. The problem is that burst doesn't scale, and it should. having it less than 100% makes it retarded as as well. Fix those two things and there shouldn't be any issue with EES.

There are much worse 2hr abilities than Eagle Eye Shot. Yes, I would love if it had an update too, but people need to stop comparing every shitty two-hour ability to Hundred Fists and Mighty Strikes.

I wasn't. I was comparing how it was drastically weaker than WAR's average WS, without 2hr.

And chainspell, and manafont, and spirit surge, and meikyo shisui, and even perfect dodge. RNG is a DD, their 2hour is supposed to deal a lot of damage, but it doesn't. Just because a few other 2hours aren't super good, doesn't mean rng's doesn't need a buff.

Perfect Dodge? Are you serious?
Also no, Spirit Surge is not awesome. It's a good 2hr ability, but it's not awesome. Because whilst it gives 25% Haste, it is magic haste, and is lost to the Magic Haste cap as soon as you through Marches and Haste spell into the mix. In a zerg all it does is give you some extra STR and reset your Jump timers. Except in a zerg you don't have time to use all the JAs anyway. Last time I fought AV, by the time I had used Sekka, Med, Spirit and Soul Jump (And WSs between of course) he was almost dead. After spirit surging to reset jump timers I didn't actually have time to use them again before he died.

And perfect dodge? A good 2hr? Don't make me laugh.

Better than EES. But sure, it's not as good anymore now that there aren't many things thf isn't capping evasion on anyway.

As for spirit surge being magical haste, what would be a better choice? with hasso up you'd lose 10% of spirit surge's haste from the JA haste cap. Gear haste is usually close to cap as well. I can think of plenty of situations where I don't have both double march and haste spell on me.

Sounds like you're saying all 2hours which aren't perfect for a fully buffed zerg run is a bad 2hour.

JA Haste or Equipment haste would be better. JA haste would allow you to go from 78.5 to 80% haste. Gear haste would allow you to wear non-aste DD gear, similar to when a Drk uses Catastrophe.

And EES is still better than Perfect Dodge. EES if nothing else gives a little extra damage every 2hrs. Perfect Dodge does sweet FA.

Old post is old but yes later throughout the thread I agreed that it could be possibly reworked to shoot maybe a max of 20-25 arrows to not be too overwhelming.
