1260% (counting the OH) for a lvl 5 barrage sounds really good for me and that together with Steady Aim already makes worth taking a circle of Ranger.
Ranger c3 is the only way and take rogue c1 i think for decent dmg
What about spiral arrow any info or formula about the dmg will be less???
what i say here is just that invest in c1 only don’t seem good.
faint + barrage lv 5 840% dmg while faint lvl 15 is 610%
Also faint + barrage have number of target restriction and longer cool down.
plus bonus to other skill.
Every one can make their own resoult no one is forced to listen me. I only say my point of view.
Is true to wait if to see end of test if get any buff. But i also say for how is the situation ATM.
Also for any new player that at last have read combat changes know there will be free rank for all so at this point people should feel free to try what they like more even if mystake because have chance to reset later.
And again, i wil drop my rainbow r1 ro 1 because even if can’t compare 3 rank vs 2 invest in 2 separate class for how is the game NOW seem underwhelming.
i just wish for anyone who would read this thread to read the whole thread, otherwise they would be easily misled. There really are lots of things to consider regarding the ktest changes and he really isn’t helping in clearing the fog
The truth is that any and all things should be disregarded until KToS live server gets the patch and our version aswell, until then it’s just a test phase and all things are bound to keep changing, think of it as a beta, because it is. Finally.
yes, all of it is still bound to change but doom posting about the changes doesn’t really help players prepare for the upcoming changes if it goes to the live servers
on a second thought, maybe tidus already found out that the new barrage is strong and want to keep it to himself by deliberately posting wrong calculation over and over (brainwash) so that no one pick ranger and ranger become hidden gem in this new patch. #plottwist
My self now we’re on war.
Dont make a war on my post there im the fuking king of your fuking life call me ragnark you are floki there dont make me repeat it again 
Just follow A1R3Sap2Ro1Mergen and you will be fine my king.
Don’t listen retard racist you pick i see on KToS thread are good and very close to mine, my gameplay, and my way of thiking to build
@myself prevent us from see the truth only because test is still on and changes can happen before the end.
Also @pajugaaldiablo if hoaming arrow + circling still work better rank 7 falconer instead of rogue
And don’t listen senseless and racist @myself stuff just flag him
So go c3. You can’t get everything you want in c1 anymore. It’s stupid with current system when you have no reason to go c3 like ranger 1 vs 3.
The only thing i wanted is 25% more on barrage for make it more worth.
Even if pick ranger 3 my point are not enought to max all skills i need.
Cool solution would be increase barrage % damage so i can invest less point in that skill still having a better % damage, so i can feel free to allocate better my point.
Even a +25% boost on barrage sound good also for R1Ro1 build, also i’m almost sure after patch this build will be gone and replaced by at last R3Ro1 and idk what
I’m actually curious why people are making such big deal for Barrage. The damage falls really hard in the high levels in our content already, everyone get a rank in Ranger only for Steady Aim, even Reiter that usually get 3 ranks only want Steady Aim.
And the damage of Barrage lvl 5 is not that bad. 1260% using all the OH, Spiral Arrow have around the double of this damage but have the double of the cooldown as well.
For my build is important filler.
If barrage would hit all enemy without range of shoot gun it would be good yes.
Cosindering most of time we have to hug or lose damage, the damage per arrow should be higher.
Close range = more risky for archer = more rewarding.
Now deal same dmg as c1 MS but is c2 skill. = unbalanced.
Barrage have 4 aoe atk ratio while MS have 0. It’s not even fair to compare.
You can use MS from the distance while barrage require to hug. if don’t hug correctly lose much dmg.
MS got nerf for that reason.
MS is interruptable while barrage not plus it’s instant. Still not fair to compare.
Try other skill 
Even in my country some people talk hard to understand but we don’t point finger.
It is called racial discrimination and is what you do to bring on table your arguments.
