I have np with PvM on my adv .. i even get 13+k FA if i use bekoning. Big problem for me is PvP shooting FA. Twitch is fairly ok PvP wise. However the big huge problem is FA on the adv. Most bullets miss. Out of 10 clip on the jepp you can scream happy if you land a 3 bullet. wish for me is pritty rare on another 220 toon. Almost worth thinking not to puch the FA button when in PvP at all.
Most SL perk specials the ranged adv have is nothing realy worth talking about and we should def not talk about how lame the LE proc's is.
My gues is the LE procs was designed lame due to the Melee design of the adv sins it dont help us in this problem and it shouldnt. However it doesnt mean the SL perks couldnt help us more then they do to compensate the FA problem.
The arul setup doesnt do that much realy for you in anything else but PvM and longer fights... the short timed fights wish is in majority in my opinion doesnt do much i would rather use the db bracer's or simular. It all comes down to what your doing i gues. If your gaining anything from it.
I agree completly with dg on the armor choices on the road to greatness hehe
I have been helping a org mate with his adv latly that he made while i have been working on other prof toons. And while i failed misserably to convince him to become a ranged adv for the fun of it. He is now a melee toon and whining on me saying adv's have it so easy.
