Bows are worthless outside of Hex Hunter. And most people agree Desperado (rapid) is best for Hex. Times are changin', Lee. ;) SNIPER is actually best for ranged users (of which there should only be hex users). It has better DPS overall while allowing for 1) more strategic hexing and 2) ammo conservation, which is actually a problem for hexers. Desperado is a little better than sniper on bosses only, but not enough to really justify taking the time to switch. Furthermore, you get better returns per tier with sniper than with desperado (ie, your desperado ring would have to be much higher tiered than your sniper ring to justify using it). no desperado is 1.6/1.5x more damage than sniper and ammo shouldn't be a problem because it takes 10 seconds to log out and back in Sniper has better DPS. Three hex users spent many, many hours recording data to come to this conclusion, lol. Ammo is NOT recharged by logging. That only works for csbs. I only really range on a few bosses so that pretty much answers for me thank you very much

just asking here because i know how awesome you guys are I am about to get tier 9 berserker and starting to think about which ranger class to upgrade. Is sniper better than desperado? and does long or short bow matter?

Slowly getting back into dungeoneering just started using this guide and love it. Thank you
