I have been a Ranger since I started SWG, approx 1 month after retail. I dont PowerLevel, and I am not interested in the 'uber' template.


With that said, I am having a hard time lately keeping Ranger. I love my MRanger tag, but I havent used a trap in 3 months, I only pop a HTFB for show, and I really dont need the additional harvests. Tracking is nice, but it doesnt justify the skill points invested.


With the removal of camps necessary for calling pets/vehicles, and the addition of vehicles, I really am thinking of leaving Ranger. This hurts, cause I really like the idea of Ranger, but I not getting anything for the skill points invested other than a cool tag.


I was here in forum when Mineras was around (boy, he ws great) and when Delta was a duel scout/ranger correspondant, and I think Nraas has done an Oustanding! job with this board. Maybe someone will post why they love Ranger, and I will stay.


This is not a knock on anyone, I think Rangers are the best, and the most friendly people I have met in game have been Rangers. I will continue to wander the wilderness, hoping that SoE can make something of this great profession....

After this next publish if something isnt done i'm gonna have to drop it. It will become a waste of skill points and fall in to "oh man, my holo said master ranger" profession. Its sad. Such a great class ruined. Yet Bounty Hunters will get ubered.

Just killed Axkva, dropped two Nightsister Vibro Units. Let the other two people in my group have 'em because we don't have many RKs on TC yet and because they can use them more then I. However, I would have *really* Liked it if she had dropped three, which would have given enough for a RK and a NEL. I'm not complaining about the fact that TKs get a weapon that needs the part. I've accepted that, but is there any chance Gunman that you could get the devs to at least: 1: Make Elders drop them as well, or 2: Make the MINIMIUM drop off of Axkva three units? This would help the problem somewhat at least.

Hello, this is kind of off topic, but what are the exact name of those vibro units? I picked up a set of 3, some kind of vibro units, I know it was off of a nightsister, I just can't remember the exact name right now. I do know though that the only stat they listed was "wound 5". Do the Nightsister Vibro Units only drop off of Axkva? I think I got mine from a stalker or protector or something like that. Thanks

Does only Axkva drop them? Or is there a possibility that another NS could drop them? Also, what kind of stats do they list? I will check on the ones I lootedto see what they are called, and I know I looted these off of a regular NS.

Gotcha. I checked mine and they were crappy high frequency vibro motors or something like that, worthless.

The NS vibro units have been seen to range anywhere from 25-30 dmg -0.5 spd to 85-115 dmg.

Maybe there is some hope in this:



We are cranking on the Combat Balance, and we think development on it will span 2 more publishes. This is an extremely sweeping and in-depth overhaul that will include the HAM revamp, speed formulas, weapon balances, weapon certifications, weapon stats, profession roles and balances, specials, armor balances, DoT balances, and buff balances. Obviously we want to get this right, so we are taking the time to do so.
