I was unaware that this was a *new* template. I thought of this as soon as I heard combat Xp was being nerfed. I guess this could be handy if you don't care which FS skills you get. HOewver, I'd much rather get the defenses and offense skills than the others. They must help out when you become Jedi otherwise why would they even exist?

Marksman: 0/1/4/4

Scout: 4/4/4/4

Ranger: 4/4/4/4

Bounty Hunter: 4/4/4/4


Bounty Hunter will allow you to cap out on all 3 weapon types of experience that you want while you are grinding, and when you have finished killing the animal, all you have to do is harvest for 7k more experience. At a trade-in rate of 8:1 you can easily get the Force Sensitive Experience needed for Jedi. And you can do this while capping out your weapons.

Yes this is the new fotm FS grinding template. I am probably the only person that is not going to respec to this, just because in a matter of two weeks it will be nerfed to hell...

That right there is why the jedi profession is the way it is today. People with that mentality while grinding jedi.

As a Ranger i can't see how they could nerf us. We have no PvP abilitys, no combat mods, camps are almost useless, most of our traps are broke or dont work. They have to fix us before they can nerf us.





The cannot nerf you but they can introduce frustrating bugs next patch..

like, with exploration IV you can harvest more than a Master Ranger.. *cough*cough*

I think it's a little unlikely that they'll nerf scouts or rangers because of this. Much more likely that they'll crank up the FS conversion rate for Scout and Traps xp to 100:1....

Heh, thats my exact pre-padawan template that I had been eying long before the curb... the problem with the scout xp is it only trades in to senses, and guess what I dont have a single unlock in.... yup senses! LOL

5.1million FS Senses XP banked and nothing to spend it on... I just really liked being a ranger

Yeah the headlong rush to get Jedi as soon as possible and steadfastly ignore the entire rest of the game - you know, the fun part - will lead to a rash of people going Ranger for the fast FS skill conversion. About 3 weeks from now when they realize that the only skills they can buy with this experience are useless to most Jedi and make them at least marginally weaker than those people who concentrated on the combat related FS branches, and that they may well loose do to those minor differences, the same people will start whining about how useless those skills are.

Its a shame too because Ranger is one of the more gimped professions in the entire game, and has labored under its shortcomings since release. Now a ton of people who don't give a rat's butt about the profession are going to invade solely to scrabble to Jedi a bit faster, then abandon it later on. Meanwhile SOE will figure that because the profession has a higher population, it must not need any improvements.

All that will happen is the newb jedi-wannabees will become Rangers in time to see it nerfed because they flocked their like sheep. If you want a good FS grind Template, go with:

Master Bounty Hunter/Master Rifleman/CM4000

Oh and if you really want to play the game - Ignore Jedi for a year first. Play the rest of the game and see what it has to offer, then you can decide if Jedi is really worth it. If you have any sense I think you will decide there are a lot of other things that are more enjoyable than being yet another FOTM. Just being a Jedi won't help you win more, understanding how the other classes work and what their weaknesses and strengths are will help a lot more. In fact, before you become a Jedi, try being a Master Bounty Hunter for a few months first

Dont say that, someone might hear you


ROFL, actualy, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Expl IV could harvest more per hour than a Master Ranger Iceing on the cake i'd say.

Indeed this template was only constructed to please the people who were complaining about the Combat Experience conversion nerf, and it is hardly anything new. Also, it gives you terrible abilities to have as Jedi,but I thought that maybe this would "End the Anger" of all the hate posts.


Also... 4/4/4/4 would imply Master Scout by my standards. So yes the template does work.

I am sorry but the only way to end the "anger" over Jedi is if 50000-100000 people who play Jedi at the moment decide to simultaneously delete their characters, and all of the current crop of FS seeking people decide to stop pursuing Jedi. That would leave no Jedi, and the game would be back to the way it was *supposed* to appear when I bought it

I suppose if SOE made Jedi .75x as effective as Dancers in PvP it might resolve it too over time. Come to think of it thats not a bad solution. Make em weak as hell and let only those who really love the *idea* of Jedi to play them. Screw all the ub3r l33t d00dz0rz.

I don't *hate* Jedi, I just hate the sort of mentality that wants one worse than anything else, and is willing to whine, scream, yell, cheat, hack etc to get one as soon as possible just to be "uber" over everyone else and feel like they achieved something meaningful - when thats hardly the case. If there was a profession called "Sewage Taster" that was 1.5 times as effective in PvP as any other class, there would be hordes of Sewage Tasters out there right now, all clamoring to make the path easier and the class more powerful. Its a mentality that I just despise.

Not all Jedi are like that of course, and I have met and know many who are quite nice, happy to roleplay their character and great in groups. They are sadly lost amongst the rest though.

Unless you are truly serious, don't tip me hahaha. I just thought I would share a new awesome template that makes it very easy to cap out fast on your experience. I know someone who got all 4 trees worth of xp in one day just from the scouting method.


(I play on Lowca)





4 trees? i thought it was 6. is it not?

/agree

Your right, thats all there is to it. As they said on the Ranger forums "The writeing ison the wall". I won't be dropping Ranger I have too much fun with it.
