Every boss that is released is inevitably met with a "WTF" was OTM thinking and complaints that the drops are crap. So, I thought it would be interesting to design the loot we would want to to see drop (and isn't OP).

Starting with Ranger, I had a couple ideas
-A lot of rangers are str based on rely on their auto-attack, so how about an ring that gives a bonus to the Bow skill as well as a dmg or str bonus?

-Weapon: Crossbow has been mentioned before, but to make it unique (and different from the heavy dmg/slow bows), why not make the crossbows slow to load but provide a process to "stun" the mob (i.e. the force of the bolt knocks them back for 2-3 ticks).

-Armour (e.g. Gloves?) that doesn't break dl aura, but provides dmg bonuses to skills (long shot) or a new skill?

-brace - evasions are one thing, but resists (heat, cold, magic, pierce, crush, etc) are even better as they always reduce the dmg (vs. a small % chance to avoid dmg altogether). A brace that provides crushing resist e.g. would be useful against several mobs and bosses.

I don't have a high lvl ranger, but for the crossbow do you mean that it would stun the mob with every hit or does the stun activate by a proc chance? Second option would be better imo.

I really like your ideas tho:)

has to be a process or it would be OP.

How about a 5% proc chance like divine strike to stun the mob? Sounds fair i think

yeah, 5% for the basic assuming the skill always hits (if it can be evaded, then it might be higher).

If its too high and cant' be evaded, then you could just zerg the boss e.g 25% process with 6 rangers would have the boss almost always stunned..

you could have other skills too that aren't dmg based - e.g. "howling arrows" - arrows designed to create a sound so horrific and distracting that it interrupts any skill being cast.

I like the idea for that skill Po

Maybe barbed shot can be tweaked in combination with the crossbow? *hint hint*

NECRO drops the ring you described... I like the way you're thinking though

I love the idea of a different set of armour that doesn't break the set bonus. Mordris helms are too good and too rare to replaced by another helm.
