Again! Another fabrication. Anyone that can do the math can tell you that is complete BS!! Even if all you were wearing was just minstrel armour ,trinkets and a weapon with nothing else . A full volley of rapid fire from a fully outfitted SB with full blood lust ,might ,food , nourishment and criting for every shot still would not down you. Let alone if your sitting on a mount.A high damage ranger /SB DOES NOT have the mobility anywhere near that of a warrior, ele , theif or mesmer.And no where near the stealth capability of mesmer or thief .Even if runes of the trapper are used which they would negate any high power damage.The argument with the range is moot because it only really useful with a full berzerker build and the gap can be closed in an instant on the ranger/sb with next to no defence. This is not a fabrication, I tried a build with close to 270% crit damage + gazelle, longbow and greatsword more than 2-3 months ago.so you would basically sit at the edge of the fight, and if anyone tried to focus you you would just turn around and use gazelle charge + greatsword and hope that your people helps you out. Before all the nerfs you could target enemy commander in the middle of the zerg and simply down him with a rapid fire + quickness + unblockable + piercing arrows + One wolf pack + Sic em. the only way to survive that was to either dodge twice or use invuln. it went through all reflects blocks and multiple people. Today it is no longer possible, although there are some builds that can crit 5k maul on my super tanky guardian with -10% dmg food.You either are a modifier god with a ranger soulbeast or you are just average.The amount of knowledge and skill you need to have to pull it off is really high and nobody realizes that, I generally main soulbeast and I tried that style of play just to go back to a more easy and forgiving build, I just can't bother to try and play (and fail) like a pro all the time. Signet of the hunt grants you 10 unblockable hits, that is more than enough for how the game is right now.
