Just thought you'd like to know that Gamespy is doing a follow-up article on the Haden Blackman interview. This new article will be interviews with multiple ACTUAL Jedi players who will be providing their views on the class and the game as a whole. Looks like SOE just hung itself with its own rope.

I have not confirmed it, so if anyone is able to verify it, that would be great. I hope against hope that it is true, and the speak with you're "Average" Jedi, not someone that SOE deems to be worthy of the interview...

how does he know this?

This was just said on the HoC chat.

[20:27] We're constantly re-evaluating our design decisions and listen carefully to player feedback. We changed our stance on Rangers contributing to combat level and will be adding that into the calculation. In the near future you will see your Scout and Ranger skills add to your Combat Level. =)

Which probably means more health as well!

Which won't mean squat if they keep the added +10 to range and melee defenses. This doesbring up a good question, why only 10 to melee defense? If I recall right almost every single creature in SW:G runs into melee range with the exception of maybe a dozen creatures. Being an ex-MR I recall that the tracking line bonuses didn't offset the damage dealt by creatures so this wouldn't be of much use to add more HAM if they don't increase at least the melee defense.

From what I understand both range and melee defenses will stack so basically it'll come down to this:

Master Rifleman + Master Ranger = +110 range defense and +45 melee defense

Master Rifleman + Master Carbineer = +150 range defense and +85 melee defense

Master Rifleman + Master Carbineer + FS defense = +170 range defense and +105 melee defense

So unless the Ranger is a melee ranger there won't be much gain outside of another 1k+ to their HAM.
