Hello royalers, I pose a question for the BM's today. Why should a ranger max strafe? My arguement against in theory is that things like thrust and inferno offer more unique and useful options for a bowmaster. If you could gut it out until 4th job with a non maxed strafe, it wouldn't matter anyways because hurricane takes over as the primary attacking skill. I don't know if some people already do this since every guide I've seen says to max strafe, but I think my logic is sound. So if anybody could give me some insight into this I would be grateful.
There are some bosses that cast Damage Reflect with very little animation to telegraph it's coming. If you're using Hurricane at the time, you're guaranteed to die. It's better to Strafe and be safe than to risk killing yourself, even if your DPS dips as a result. I've personally never found a use for Inferno, as Arrow Rain is better in most mobbing situations.
