Thread: Publish 20 respec?
People are way to used to respecing
Thanks for your response though.
First your premise that we are being "nerfed" is incorrect. The p dart is broken, causing the target's AI to turn off and allowing us to solo creatures that are not meant to be soloed by mere Rangers. Pub 20 will merely fix this situation. Those of us who have been around a while will revert to our standard ways of hunting and still be able to harvest some decent creatures, and with help will be able to harvest the big ones.
Why a respec? If you had done any research at all you would have known that the p dart was broken and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that it will be fixed. If you came in simply to be uber and l33t, sorry, you picked the wrong profession. Instead we are probably the weakest profession for the amount of skill points spent. Yet many of us thrive in it. Real "Rangers" know how to adapt, improvise and overcome.
Your original post says to me you are one of the many "rangers" who will not be around once Pub 20 hits. Hope you find a profession that suits you. I'd recommend ID.

If after the changes are made and we can no longer "stomach" the the overwhelming power of the Ranger class, will they issue another respec? I am very new to master Ranger (after publish 18) so I wasn't here for the one they issued to everyone else. I worked hard and fast to get to Master only to find out halfway there the class was getting nerfed even more. I have no interest in grinding for Jedi, but I might bail if given the option.
Actually, I could care less about the P-Darts. I thought when I started that traps would besuch that you set them down and lured a creature over them. The waythis game is designed, they are simply a type of grenade. I don't recall seeing any trappers in movies throwing big heavy steel traps 40 meters at animals. As for the profession "not being nerfed" you can tell yourself whatever you want. Maybe it has only been forgotten after all. Although, after reading this forum I see that the camps actually used to serve a purpose and at least one of the traps is completely broken. Also, they gave away all the Ranger specials to the other classes. I know this has been talked about many times over so I will not re-hash it all, but Iagree with many folks here that believe that for the amount of skill points we have to put into Ranger the rewards have not been forthcoming. Maybe there will be a revamp in the future and if that is the case then those who do stay willhopefully be rewarded.
As for doing research.....No I did not do very much research before I started as I stated above. It is after all only a game and I treat it as such. I simply became a little jaded when after I progressed through the Ranger tree I find that my defense against animals islower than a smugglers would be. As for image designer....you could do some of that while sitting in your camp. 
This message was never intended to be an attack on the profession because as of right now I happen to also be a part of it. If you took it too seriously as I can see by some of the responses then I think you need to take a look at at yourself. I never attacked anyone nor did I slam the profession. I have just as much right to be a little jaded about my skills as I look back on the points it takes to be a Ranger. If I had picked Ranger for just the P-Dart then your ranting would be well placed. That was not not the reason however. It just might have been the straw that broke the camels back as I was already very disappointed with my defense stats against creatures this profession should dominate. I also agree with the last post in that you have to like what you are doing and now I don't once I see the whole picture. I agree with you frankenstienmonster about the Jedi profession. It seems like it might be more oriented to kids and is something that does not interest me anyway. I would never have that kind of time to spend on this game anyway.
This is my last post on this and I hope you guys don't take it the wrong way. I would rather use any free time to play and not spend it bantering.
