MCH/MR


A recipe for disaster, as the first creature that leaks past your pets eats you in short order. You have no defensive or offensive capabilities other than your pets.

Make up a will, learn to love the cloner, you will visit it often.


MR/MBH


Hate to say it, but this will give us the most offensive/defensive bang for the buck and still leave us with skillpoints.


MR/Master any combat


Ok, I got 4 whole points left. Wow. Don't spend them all in FS, which is the only place you can use them.


Prediction: Unless the points and health issues are fixed, expect a mass exodus from Ranger.


Someone remember this post, please. I will refer to it later.

Ehhh. I've been a Master Fencer/Master Ranger forever now so I can stick with that. The only thing that irritates me is that as a master of both of those professions I can't have 3k health. That just doesn't make sense. CM's get it. Docs get it. Why can't we?




Your friendly neighborhood Ranger,

The Ranger profession needs to be reduced 14sp, or fix it like they did with image designer:


1

1111

2222

3333

4444

6




--- Cancelled 24th November 2006
Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

You don't NEED novice medic post-CURB. EVERYONE can use the basic stims (about what a Stim A does I guess) with 0 medic skills.

Please, no. I don't want Ranger to become a less valued "joke" class or be seen as less worthwhile or anything like that. If that was the only thing the devs can think to do with Ranger as I look over all the threads by Calc, Owen, Nemo, Phen, WildBil and everyone else with enough ideas to build 2 or 3 complete professions from.... that's just sad. I don't care about having the highest point cost in the game, I just want it to be WORTH it. I want my health to reflect the fact that I MUST do combat for the entire trapping line, and at LEAST to get enough scout XP to earn MaskScent - only way to get the Scout XP is Maskscent or harvesting, and you only get the option for harvesting until you get Explore 2, so.... am I supposed to pet the fur off the back of the womp rat? Tickle the meat off the bones of a gorg? Maybe Scouts will be able to use /slap to 1-hit kill every noob creature to work up Explore 1 and Explore 2 6-12 xp at a time.

The way the Rangers are constructed they are the only profession that build upon 2 complete skilltrees. This makes them cost a total of 140 points compared to 112sp doctors. Rangers are the only profession that have master scout as a prerequisite, so there will be no dabbling in Ranger skills for thoose who do not live by their profession.

Rangers are balanced to have the complete scout tree, so we dont want to loose skills. Other professions will be forced to spend points in Scout to gain their professions, so we dont want the skillcost for scout lowered.

For balance, Master Rangers should cost as much as regular professions, and be just as useful, so everything I can suggest is to reduce 28 skillpoints from the ranger boxes.

HOW in the world do we become a joke class when we have to master scouting unlike any other class who goes on to an elite profession? We need a skill point reduction so we get what everyone else is getting...it is called balancing the professions and we get left in the cold the way it is now. PERIOD

Lets just say you did the MRifle / MBH ranger 4040

You'd get access to all three armor types

You have full assult (+Kin) armor through bh.

If you don't have any FS points then do Novice ch. O_O

How can rangers be devalued when right now rangers are the most expensive class in the game. Lets face it ranger isnt all that great right now. I have 20 FS boxes, and dont really want to drop any (i worked hard for these), that mean no master ranager for me.

Ranger + Bounty Hunter .... I think I'm in love, I've been trying to figure out which of these two I was going to go for, now that the CU is coming out, I'll be able to do both, however the grind seems daunting, maybe I'll just work up some brawler to use the remaining 14pts I have left and then respec the whole works when the time comes... cant wait till I can try out the templat on TC5.
