<blockquote>Why use a Ranger when you get more ATP with a HUnewearl? <p></blockquote> <p>Because HUnewearls cannot use every type of gun, and they will never be as accurate as Rangers, or Hucaseals for that matter. Any advantageous use of guns is far outmatched by their use of bladed weapons and techniques as support. <p>The simple fact is that they are going to have trouble hitting their targets with the use of guns, which nullifies the advantage that their ATP gives them in the first place. Yes, you could max out a DEX Mag, but now you must ask yourself if you should be playing as a Ranger, because your use for the Hunter class has expired. Your character will have descended to the levels of <i>blah</i>; a character with balance, yet no specialties. <br><p>[size=small][Edit by Siren on [TIME]1116983065[/TIME]][/size]

I dunno.. My hunewearl with her high ata does great with her Lk-14's.<p>Almost 7 out of 9 hits everytime, sometimes 9 out of 9.<p>Mech-guns and Newearls rock.

[Benoit]

Rangers would never miss at that point. Also, you do more damage with your bladed weapons.<p>HUnewearls have the worst ATA of the Hunters, by the way.

As for RAs vs. HUs for gun usage, I have two words that settle the debate once and for all:<p>Frozen Shooter.<p>Though, HUnewearls don't have the worst ATA of the Hunters, that 'distinction' goes to HUcast.<p>They do however have absolutely god-awful ATA growth... People make much in class comparisons of the fact that HUmar's max ATA is only 1 point above HUnewearl's, but they fail to take growth into account... A HUmar can max his ATA by the mid-L120s with 50 DEX on his Mag and two God/Arms... And that's pretty much what a L200 HUnewearl needs to max her ATA. Whereas L200 HUmar needs only 52 DEX on his Mag to max(Or less, depending on if your L200 stat maxing plan utilizes God/Abilities).<p>For ghetto HU RA-ing, though, HUnewearl will still be able to use Holy Ray long before HUmar can. >_> And WHY are there no droid HU-usable rifles? X_x;

[Lord Khyron]

I dunno.. In our Seabed Excursion for Phantasmal World 3..<p>You found that I was right, using guns at a distance was better.<p>My nifty little Lk14's didn't miss.<p>I think I've got 134 ata?

[Del_Ian]

Base or total? What's the Hit % on that L&K? Normal, Hard, VHard, Ult Seabed?<p>Because my BS meter is dinging hardcore, you can't even hit consistently in Ult Online Forest with that kind of ATA unless you've got uber Hit % on your weapon. (I use a melee FOmar. I know exactly how bad low ATA is. 233 ATA with Holy Ray, and Zero still can't hit worth a crap in Seabed)

[Benoit]

I think we were playing in Hard.<p>Khyron, we're talking effectiveness here. Of course distance is an advantage. Especially when you're higher than your target...

[jherm]

thats why a hunter carries around a handgun and a set of vulcans. you get the distance if you need it.
