Any ideas? At master ranger, we get +10 melee and ranged defense. Where are we with these new changes?

"Where are we with these new changes?"

I do not know howcombat mitigation willaffect those bonuses...

• Though I suspect that they will stack with no problem.

I guess I will have to log on to TC tonight and check out the situation.

lol

I just left the Teras Kasi board to come over here to ask the exact same question!

Since Im a TKA / Ranger im already pretty excited that the prospect of added kinetic/melee mitigationTKA will receive. Add this to the fact that most creatures deal only melee/kinetic type damage.If Rangers also receive a bonus mitigation say towards creatures this could be quite interesting.

"RangerTank"anyone?

After some reading it appears that every combat profession will be receiving some sort of mitigation. Ranged get ranged, melee get melee, smugglers and BH get melee. Since we are some sort of hybrid profession, i was wondering what we would get. If we get ranged, that would be GREAT since it goes well with the TKA melee mitigation.

Dash,

Your post brings up another question.... Will Ranger receive any mitigation at all? I mean we are not exactly a "combat profession". Besides the creature hit bonuses we really dont have anything defensive or offensive to speak of. No combat prequisite is required to master ranger (other than traps, if you consider that as combat). No weapon certs of either melee or ranged type are required.....I sure hope they do give us some type of bonus.

Yeah, I hope so too. As much as I love ranger and will never give it up, the investment is skill points has me wondering...

Master Scout - 77 points.
Master Ranger - 63 points.

Currently, the most significant and differentiating thing we get over Scout is tracking. I hope more things are coming down the pipe. Even if its coming little by little. They have already mentioned DE's are the primary focus of Janurary's publish. So are we talking about Februrary for something new?

In addition, with vehicles coming, TN means nothing.

"Will Ranger receive any mitigation at all?"

I do not think we will...

• We will pick up our mitigation from whatever combat profession we choose to complement our Ranger skills.

I was kinda afraid of that. /shrug

=( So, does that mean they removed the +10 ranged and +10 melee defense modifiers?

"The system they are replacing is the Rifleman damage modifier system"

/eek I don't like the looks of this.

I believe what he meant was the 2.5x damage modifier is being removed.
