Ranger Archive

I agree with you that there will always be those that truely love the profession for the reason that we want to be rangers to act like rangers, but there will always be dabbler, holo-chaser, and bandwagener types, but I actually don't mind them much, because I know who is a real ranger and who they are.

As for flocking to ranger when we get our "new" stuff, I am not so sure about that, because it will likely come out along with all the changes for all the other professions, and in the proccess of trying to find out what is new and best, I think most of that type will likely skip over ranger thinking of us as the way we have always been, hopefully.

I admit, I do me best to discourage people from being a Ranger . I like us being rare and I'm on no crusade to make us like the Creature Handlers anytime soon. Besides, I like being the only 'Ranger' on Talus (I think I am anyway, but then again, I think I'm the only player on Talus too :smileyindifferent

So u dislike trapping and want to do it fast? Easiest way is to get u a fencer or TKA friend. A pet will work, too.

Craft u about 120 glow wire traps á 5 uses, go to Dantooine and track u a Fierce Piket Protector. Let your friend/pet take the aggro (tey mustnt do ANY damage) And u throw trap after trap. (U will fail sometimes) Each trap nets for about 600 Trapping exp and u can use the glow wire trap over and ovr again.

This way you should be done very very fast.



2nd way is that u go to Dathomir and take part in a large hunting group. Just tell them u need trapping exp. And again dont do any damge but throw trap after trap


Sikes

See, I don't have much problem with the dabblers.. I think it highly viable that BH's will take the tracking line, because it makes their ability to track down players much easier... And with the player-run player bounty systems we've got in place, this is kind of vital. Those who want certain things from the profession aren't so bad as those who really don't want or understand the profession.. ie, holowhores, and PvP munchkins. I hope you're right about the fact that when/if we get our stuff, it'll come in a mass with other profession upgrades, so we'll kind of be lost in the shuffle.

As for Trapping XP, I know how to get it. I just hate grinding, s'all. It was the last skill I mastered when I mastered scout, and will probably be the last I master as a Ranger.

While I like the fact that we are rare, at the same time I don't like the fact that for the cost, we aren't getting too much compared to the other elite professions. Heck even in my guild, when they draw up a list of who is needed for an attack on a base, do you think a ranger is on that list? Heck no. The only value other people see of our profession was our camps (which won't mean much soon), and our harvesting ability. We suck at PvP, and a good portion of our skill tree isn't effective.

Now before you all just tell me if i feel like that move on, let me just say that I wanted to be a Ranger before this game came out and I even picked a Bothan as he seemed to be best suited for it. I am still a Ranger and have no intention of giving it up. I am just frustrated with what we have to deal with. In any case, since I'm mostly playing solo Ranger is still for me. I just wish that playing solo was always an option and not a prerequisite.

Master Ranger completely and totally SUCKS.
Everyone take my advice and quit this stupid profession.

Same thing goes for Master Rifleman.
I highly recommend Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, or Commando.

Take my word for it, there is no fun, enjoyment or money to be had with either of these professions. Go.. save yourselves.

Alright Nraas,

I guess there's room for two of us to be completely miserable with our choices. You can stay.

Everyone else ... honestly... you would be much happier some place else.

I agree with Beau - do not become a Ranger

BH is the way baby... total dominance, uber and l33t in PvP and can kill anything that walks, talks, crawls, runs or slithers. Great forum too, full of information and well thought out posts. And so easy to get, you can be a Master in a matter of hours.

BH roxxors, Rangers suxxors

see, if I use leet terms the little morons will never see thru our semi-clever ploy, those shortbus riders them

Hey... No bashing the dabblers... They are people too.

Now, as for the other two categories...
