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.




If we must choose one simple thing... I vote the following in this order...


1. Greater DPS

2. Greater harvest of organics (including foraged items)

3. Better attack and defense against creatures

I'm starting to think we might eachbe better off posting what we'd like changed for our own personal combat professions(Like Swordsman fo me, I believe Calc is Rifleman, and so on....). My reason for this is is that ranger is a profession with such varied skills that I don't think this one item one sentence format is the place for our ranger fixes. There are too many different things for us to all try to agree on one sentence for all of us to post. We can't fit make camps useful again/more traps/fix existing traps/creature to-hit/creature resists/ranger weapon/forage/stealth into this format. I think we might be better off supporting our individual combat professions in this thread and save the ranger stuff for a different one.

I simply used yours Nerf as I have just recently returned to the game and haven't regained my Ranger status yet.

I suppose that could work too, but still it's supposed to be one sentence one item. You'd have to pick one thing out of all of that and I think there's too much involved with ranger to do that. Also I think the shorter the better because there are so many posts that's it's very important to have one concise point that sticks out without needing more than a few seconds to read. Not a flame bud just how I feel about it. We're all doing what we feel we need to to improve ranger and I'll never put down anyone's ideas about how to do it, even if I disagree.

After a tough internal debate and the great feedback from the community I've decided to post what I have above. To me the 3 bold points are the most important things ATM. Remember that a damage stat mod would also increase our DPS without a new special.


On to my point... ifeveryone used thebeginning and end while replacing the center part with what you believe the important issue is, we will still bring a united front while at the same time getting more ideas out there

No worries


I understand that its a bit long, my hopes were if lots of Rangers chose to post it in the thread it would be pretty hard to ignore

I posted on that thread hours ago so I can't use your idea but I do hope that the whole Ranger community posts using either your Idea or their own. We can't let ourselves be ignored.

In response to TH's thread asking for "One Sentence" solutions for current combat problems I figured we could come up with a unified statement and each and everyone of us post it in the thread. I've read through 18 pages so far and no Rangers have spoke up yet. So, how can we condense ourideas into one easy to read and well worded sentence, and what does it need to cover?


  • Creature to-hit mod

  • Creature damage mod

  • Creature toughness

Example:


"Rangers would like to see their combat effeciency vs. creature increased with creature-cetric skill mods and defenses so a Master Ranger/Master Elite profession is a more effective hunter then a Novice Scout/Master Combat Stacker"

Everyone should go post here. I read through the entire thing and didn't see any familiar names. I'm sure that Rangers I haven't met yet have posted. Everyone go post there ASAP!
