Ranger Archive

I made Wayfaring 4 a couple of weeks ago and I'll tell ya I don't see any difference between that and Exploration 4. I do not notice any difference as to negotiating terrain to using mask scent. Seems to me my mask scent breaks more than when I was at Wayfaring 2. Would like to hear of any other Rangers in regards to Wayfaring also I have Bio-science and as one other posted out here I don't see any additional information on a creature when examing it. I do however notice the increase in amount of harvesting a creature and that I do like.

Terrain negotiation up to 50 effects your movment speed. 50 to 100effects your movement speed when prone.

Ahhhh I forgot about that I haven't even tried prone

How fast can you really go while prone? Walking dpeed or running speed? What is the benefit of moving quickly while prone?

It looks REALLY funny.

so we pay 14 skill points to look funny? great just great

I don't have the skill so I couldn't tell you. It might be useful teamed with riffles to sniper.

I could see a great benefit to Rangers that dabble with Creature Handler, being able to crawl quickly up to the most aggo (baby) creatures to /tame them would be really nice. (especially if /maskscent holds!)

My original plan was to be a Ranger/Squad Leader but I think I'm going to add Creature Handler to the list because I think a Ranger with animal sidekicks is a perfect fit.

thats just plain dumb. we should be able to RUN quicker than ohers, not just crawl. eww, look at me, fleeing from battle on all fours, speed'n like a demon

I doubt we will ever see the ability to run faster on flat ground - people seem to think that would be unbalanced (maybe it would be? - no opinionon that -yet) but Rangers should have some other movement bonus in their wayfaring line. Crawling quickly doesnt cut it.

How about a much faster recycle time on the BURST RUN ability. Cut it in half for a Master...something like that. The ability is already in the game it would just need some tweeking. (LOL) Also, the swimming faster idea is nice b/c it allows you to put some distance between youand a MOBchasing you. Currently we can use mountains, steep inclines - whatever, to get that distance. Swinging faster would would help in those areas that are mostly flat. The problem I have with Rangers is the SOE published discription of the class does NOT jive with the reality. Can we stay away from towns for weeks on end? Are we masters of exploration?

The need to go back to a cantina to get BF healed is CRAZY. Why cant BF be healed in CAMPS?

Hehe, I want to be able to fish from my camp too.

You make it sound like that's a bad thing.

Can a person with wayfaring 4, or a master ranger tell us how fast one can crawl on their belly?

Is it walking speed? running speed?

We can crawl quicker so we can more quickly get back into position after going prone and getting warped back 30m.
