Thanks for your support!
I dabbled with smuggler, but it seemed to defy everything that my rangerness stood for (besides I couldn't keep the points and go Master Ranger).
I am much to honorable for smuggler(sometimes!)
MUAHAHAAA

hehe ive played a smuggler and plan to once again as soon as the revamp hits. When i used to play one i found i was able to everything but play a smuggler and thats why i dropped it. None of the skills made me feel like a smugglerr, not even slicing or spice making. Thats why im so hyped about the smug revamp now, i honestly cant imagine what im going to be like when the ranger revamp hits, i expect ill just pass out and die.
lol, how unlucky would that be? Fight for a ranger revamp all the time ive been playing, then the shock of getting a revamp kills me.
There are 3 proffesions that are my favourite in swg, not in terms of what they have but for what potential they have and what character and play experience they could represent. Those are:
- Ranger
- Smuggler
- Squad Leader
As you can bet im in a good mood to see all 3 are getting revamps after each other heh. As for rifle, im always going to be rifle and will (if the option allows it) in every game i play but most certainly in swg.

I sure hope so, but it still sounds like we will not be any kind of combat profession even as a specialist, in which case it is going to be very hard to sell. We have been basically left out from just about the beginning, and we can't even out hunt most of the so called combat professions since they can kill them much faster then we can. Our only real claim to fame in hunting is in harvesting, but most other players can offset that with food and bots, and the speed with which they can kill creatures. I have one toon that is solely a combat character and it can take out Ancient Bull Rancors long before any ranger has a chance to do it. So the revamp is going to have to be very very good, and if you are serious about everyone getting involved in the GCW then how you can keep us out of a combat profession is beyond me.
Try a Ranger/speedcapped Rifleman with an exceptional T21 (or a pikeman with similar or a swordsman or ....), 90% armor, and high end buffs. The Ranger can win if you get the best equipment as well (I've had some Jedi complain that I've done too much damage before and I didn't even have buffs or armor and it wasn't an especially good T21). Damage is the primary limitation to killing speed right now as long as you spend the money to be properly equipped.

Speed cap suit... 15 mil+?
Exceptional Weapon (T21 etc) 40mil+?
90% armour... 1 mil? every few weeks
High end buffs 15k+ every 3 hours
EDIT: And I forgot 12 mil+ for the ADK to go on the Exceptional Weapon too!
Result... we need a revamp with combat included, cos that's a MAD amount of money just to make us on par with the battle bots with some scout skills so we can harvest as fast!!

Speed cap suit??? I'm happy my wookiee can wear his +16 camo/ms bandoleer under his set of armor. That leaves what? A belt?
Oh well, I guess to a wookiee, a bandoleer and a belt is suit enough, right?

Thanks for the support,
most rangers (while we desperately want our love) cheer and support the revamps for smugglers, whose time has come. It will definately make for a better game and a more enjoyable play experience for all.
