On a more serious note my post there was of the "fix everything that's been broken in the non jedi professions before you add any more code" persuasion. It was one sentence, and had to do with combat.

I don't include you in that. I understand your disagreement with having JtLS before CB. YOU argue, with sane and valid points with out resorting to childish antics. The others, however...

He also asked that the sentence contain one item. I.E. "Rangers want an increase in DPH via a ranger special attack useable with any weapon so that we can be more efficient hunters than elete combat profession stackers with novice scout" It sounds like he wants it speciffic and to the point not, "Rangers feel that . . .; better traps . . .; . . . group harvest increases; . . . all the bugs fixed; . . . so to sum up . . ."
I also think he is speaking to PvP combat more than PvE, but that was never stated so it wouldn't hurt for us to post there. However, I don't think we could actually agree on a speciffic singular thing we all want more than anything else, so I would suggest if we don't agree on a singular thing we at least post something even if it isn't unified.

Anyone opposed to using this? Or something like it with some small tweeks? I'd like all Rangers to get a post in before it hits 100 pages, lol

EDIT: oooh, great post above, I like the DPS thing. Lets see what we can come up with now.

Bow and Arrow or any new Ranger specific weapon takes time, new art, coding, balance, etc... We need things that can be fixed within the current confines of the game.

Something like this?

Rangersdesire to become more than simply skill pointdeficient "super-scouts";we are particularly interested in having increased defence and offence combat capabilities against creatures, wild or player-controlled, giving us a role in both PvE and PvP;many rangersbelieve this can be accomplished within the current state ofcombat by using existingcode such ascreature to-hit, damage stat mods, toughnessand an increase in DPSvia a Ranger specialuseable with any weapon; this would allow us to be the greathunters we were meant to beandnot force us to drop the profession welove tocompete withelite combat profession stackers with only novice scout.

Better?

Better?

I realy think a sentence like this will be ignored by TH as it lists several things that would make things better. He asks for one sentence, one item, speciffic. I realy think if we do the one voice thing we need to decide on what one shining thing, if they add it right now, would make combat better for us.

So what do we want most out of all these things; greater DPS as rangers, better creature to hit bonus, defense against creature attacks (creature toughness), resistance to creature poisons/disease (or poisons/disease in general to make it PvP applicable), or something else I am forgetting.

My vote is for greater damage per shot as rangers against creatures.
