	I was always confused as to why rangers did not have an aoe ability to use. Like why dont or cant we get a multishot cone of arrows ability or some sort. Now i know some of you are going to say we have improved precise shot, not the same my friend not the same.

	IPS = ranged AoE damage It requires good positioning and understanding of enemy AI to be useful and I much prefer that over having a bunch of spray-and-pray clickies on my bar.

	IPS is all the AoE that you need. Aim for the furthest mob, hit haste boost/damage boost, adrenaline, manyshot, slayer arrows. If that doesn't work, splurge UMD for sleetstorms scrolls (you do have FoM as a spell, right?) kite towards sleetstorm and profit.

Maybe because this isn't 4th Edition where every character's abilities are basically the same as all the others but with a different description? Why in the name of all that's holy would you expect a Ranger to have an AoE? They can make good use of IPS and/or Cleave, depending on build. And that's just fine.

	My ranger is happy without weird shit being implemented. New shit that would probably break the old shit, so thanks but no thanks!

	Just like its been said, just learn to line up the mobs, sometimes I kite the mobs back and forth a little bit to get them to line up nice and pretty, then blow their heads off with 1 shot. They dont need extra AOE crap. And I want a little tree ent companion, so I can call it Woody, and tell people to check out my Woody.

	IPS works even better then AoE effects in the right situations, IE hallways and corridors.

Been a while since I've used IPS, for that reason. I target the farthest mob, and my shots go over several mobs' heads. Especially wolves and kobolds.

	Yea I use IPS just fine, but I would love to see a spread shot of some sort to add some flavor for when you dont have time to line them up etc.

	Even w/o IPS, why do you need an AoE as an archer? Manyshot + Adren + Slayers should do the trick. If you get tired of that you can always spam tornado's.

	If you slot some of the new AoE augments on a bow (there are a few bows with 2 slots) you can get your AoE Ranged.

I love the new weapon AoE effects.� I never bothered to take an Alchemical weapon up to tier 3 and now it makes me kind of wish I had. Edit: I should point out that I'm not spilling any secrets that they multi proc with cleave and great cleave - I'm only mentioning that I think it's neat that they do.

	IPS>AOE. AOE sits in 1 spot while mobs run around it. IPS moves relative to you and your target.
