Err, to be honest, I didn’t really check the DPS again after I nerfed it. Did not think that it would be very significant.
I might make a poll later to vote on how this could be changed. This is highly dependent on how the community compares 6 DEF, 5 SPD, and moderate damage to slow/paralyze abilities with slightly higher damage.
I personally believe that the Ranger’s DPS should almost meet the Archer’s, but not surpass, without the ability. The ability would then make the difference needed.
EDIT: Oh and btw, damage difference on the DPS calculator for the ability show to be very negligible. A T0 spell seems to work nearly as good as a T6.
