I have a couple questions regarding the Ranger line that I would like an opinion on.


I am asking because I plan on making a Rifleman, I wanted to round out the character by speccing in 2 of the Ranger skill lines. I was going to spec up to Wayfaring IV for the speed increase, and up to Advanced Trapping III for the next 2 traps.


1. Are the 2 traps you get from the trapping line worth the investment of skill points if thats the only reason your taking the trapping line?


2. How much of a speed increase does the Wayfaring line give you over the Scout Exploration line?


Any opinions are appreciated.

I'm currently master sabers/defender healer 3000 enhancer 0002 and have been thinking of a slight change to the template. Looking at going for:

Master saber
defender 4440
Healer 4000
Enhancer 3002

Just wondered if anyone has tried master defender and 4440, and is there a big diffrence in the amount of damage you take? would really like to get force speed, and root, but want to retain high defences. any advice/opinions appreciated.

p.s sorry for another template thread

Some of my guildmates who were Master Defenders switched to that template. When I dueled them before they would take a certain amount of damage and the duels would be very long. Now with their new temp..... With the force speed if they land out a couple good fast attacks at the opening I can possibly be done, BUT if I survive it (I am Mdef) they always lose. They also run out of force faster - not sure if that is based on temp or what.

ok thanks for the quick reply. Is the damage taken with 4440 defender compared to master a big diffrence? I'm talking about in PvE and PvP as I do both regularly and would having the 1500 heals make up for it? I suppose a problem is mind if you end up healing to often by having less defence.

You would be taking a couple hundred pts per hit more.

Master Defender has 52.5% damage reduction from its +70 innate armour.


Def 444x gives +54, this amounts to around 44% damage reduction (I dont know the exact figure)


Aura mitigates the same amount, master or not and AI is sometimes as much a curse as a usefull skill so I'd base your choice on this.


If you think that the ~8% extra damage is worth it for force speed which would increase your offence rather than defence then by all means go for it.

yeah I have to agree about AI, I very rarely use it with the snare now (only in desperate situations). pretty sure I'm going to switch when server comes up, I have all the needed xp banked. Thanks for your advice guys.
