I was going to suggest this because ranger takes up so many skill points, that having it, and having a combat prof mastered leaves you 4 SP, which you can't do anything with. It would be nice to either A) get a bonus out of my ranger skills, or B) take away the master scout requirement for ranger, allowing us enough skill points to get some healing abilities.
Ranger prerequisites are also changing. In addition to get a full set of combat mods comparable to other combat professions you will only be required to have 2 novice skill branches to earn Novice Ranger, similar to Bounty Hunter, Squad Leader or Commando. We are currently looking at setting the Ranger prerequisites to Scout - Exploration 4 and Marksman - Carbines 4.
I'm personally giddy about the possiblity of this template. I"m thinking of using my token respec to take my crafter and do this template.

Well like Smuggler gets Marksman Pistols, I guess they had to give Ranger something if they want to be more proficient in a weapon.....but pre-req's can and do change

If they put blue frogs on test, I will for sure try it. But unless I have a way to test it, I won't even bother until I read a lot of reviews on it. I had to grind enough as it is on a live server, if I want to test something I don't want to grind it only to find it already pushed to live by the time I get there. =)
The ranger changes look cool, and would probably compliment carbines very well. But I don't really foresee any massive template changes (lol, I don't foresee anything). Ranger is looking like a totally new profession, and a very good change, but it still may not spark anything unless you are hardcore ranger junkie. Anyways, we still have another expansion to see if the ranger changes will be useful in much PvE content, because as it stands there isn't much worth killing unless you're a bounty hunter.

As long as Bio Engineer is required for basebusting, i fear i have no idea where to get the skillpoints for some rangering for.
If the suggesion that BE should be replaced by ranger for base slicing is true, the setup with carbine as requirement would allow me to get into one of the ranger lines... iwould love to do that...

It's tempting based on concept, but I need to see what it looks like when it's more organized and there is an actual proposal from the development team

Ranger was always one of my favorite professions. I mastered it long before there were badges and areatrack, and these changes make me want to pick it back up again Will have to wait until a while after it hits live though, looking good on paper means absolutely nothing in this game...

Sweet! I have those pre-reqs already

At first the devs said that the Ranger battle armor cert would be changed for a recon cert(which I agreed with). Then a lot of players complained since their really expensive uber battle armor would become useless. Now we're stuck with battle again
Also, the actual dev comment from the HOC chat was "We're going with Carbines IV & Exploration IV for now", so it's still subject to change. Ranger has always been an elite profession and it makes sense to keep the Scout Trapping and Exploration lines as prerequisites (making it a profession similar to Doc).

Not exaxtly, with healing being almost a requirement now for PvP having ranger pre-reqs as two scout trees would mean that only MBH/MRanger would leave enough SP for some decent healing.
Personally I love the Carbs pre-req and with it announced itwould have been much easier to get the recon cert... that is one major problem with the devs, they cave to pressure way too fast, even before all the information has been released so no one really knows if what they are complaining about even has merit.

i think the devs read my mind and decided they loved me or something... the only thing i've wanted to be since the beginging of the game is Carbineer/Ranger.... but i also like to PvP sometimes and it was competly worthless before so i dropped it to try other things. now i can finally regain my favorite 2 professions and be good at the same time.... wow i must be in heaven
