Creature Handler Archive

I know tracking is part of Ranger atm, but with the comming changes to them, it seems they only get to keep npc/pc tracking.

This opens it up for us to take over the ability for animal tracking, and it would be implemented as an ability. What do the rest of you say?

They say they removed it, because it was broken.

I'll still miss it. I use it a lot.

I am a Master Ranger and it will tottally ruin it for me .

I use the ranger tree in conjunction with Creature Handler Master to hunt animals and tames .

My temp is shot LOL .

I just hope they give us a respec for it .

Well, when (if) they fix it, it would be nice if they gave it to us since ranger seems to be geared so much towards N/PC's with this change.

Even it its borked state, areatrack was invaluable. I doubt I would have gotten my GPS without it, plus when spawns were screwed up it helped me find things to hunt. I even used to use it to find NPC elite trainers, quest NPCs, etc.

Whew !

This news comes just in time.

I have been grinding up a new char, and was gonna go MCH / Ranger. But now I will get an elite combat prof instead, probably MCH/Swordsman.

Would be great if CH gets the tracking skills tho

I posted the following in the ranger thread... not sure if it will be answered though:

"What will happen to tracking? While you may think that it is broken in it's current state, there are a lot of Creature Handlers that picked up at least the tracking branch in order to track creatures for taming. It was especially useful for tracking rare tames, such as the GPS. Will you at least move a creature tracking component to Creature Handling so that those CHs can still track their creatures?"

Yes, we need this ability moved to CH.

I think the "broken" aspect of it concerns hidden players and CSRs showing up.

I think Creature-track is fine and as a Ranger I support moving it to the Hunting branch of Scout. A CH pre-req.

Over in the scout forum, the corr has started a thread about trying to keep area track in the game, possibly in the scouting profession. Perhaps people might wander over there and voice some support.

Would suit me. The way things are goingAnnaka'd drop Ranger in a flash!

BUT.... I would roll one up later, possibile Lyissan - new Ranger does sound cool and interesting
