I have a good range lead on Danmakurain, (he's only 2 lvls higher than me) and he still out-DPS's me by a good margin. Besides, it's pretty well known that corsairs are the best DPS'ers in the game, but that doesn't make MM DPS BAD.
As for the BM and hero comments, I'm pretty sure an equally funded BM would only be slightly faster (2~4 mins tops?) and of course a Hero is faster cuz he can hit multiple arms. (But heroes do less DPS on body; Brandish isnt the best 1v1 skill. If anything, the only thing that makes Heroes good at zak, besides the arms, is their ability to pretty much ignore mobs, whereas with us single target DPSers, mobs get in the way. Well except 'sairs, cuz of adv. homing. But that's yet another reason why their DPS is so sick.)
i mean from equips other than weapons and skills, read between the lines. i am pretty dam well equiped if i must say so myself.
Dusk Wrote:I have Air Strike. It has the same cooldown as Snipe. It never takes 10 seconds.
Without Snipe at all a MM does 70-75% as much damage as a BM with the same gear. With 1 Snipe every 10 Strafes unappled it should be 85% +- a few depending on equips and stuff. I know with Apples MMs take a huge hit, but they're not awful. Strafe only is still considered middle of the road as far as DPS goes (beating Shads/Buccs/Pallys on neutral or ice weak/NLs without SE/Corsairs with RF). They're just not up to par with the other ranged classes.
shads, buccs and pallys are pretty dam crappy anyways and no one should be proud to outdmg them. sair RF is actually 5% stronger than strafe and snipe if they have SE (ask alex he knows that stuff) and se less NLs are in the same group as the other 3.
alex and myself have timed snipe and air strike and it can go as high as 10 seconds, its is sad but true.
