Ranger Archive

I'm a pikeman, and master musician. I decided yesterday to drop music, and go ranger.

So, Pikeman/Ranger. Lets see how that goes

I am a complete Hybrid.

Ranger 4-0-4-2 (dont think trapping is worth it yet, and novice ranger camp (.85 heal) is sufficient.

CH 3-2-0-0 (can use a Graul Mauler)

Master Scout (of course, pre-req of ranger)

Marksman 0-4-0-4 (carbine line)

Medic 4-2-0-0 (high heals with stim b's)

Carbineer 0-3-1-3 (as many points I have left, and Carbine cause its got the best ranges)

I'm almost Master Ranger/Master CH with rifle specialist and ranged specialist. If they add a cavalry profession or some other profession above CH or Ranger, I'll probably drop weapons entirely and just use my pets.

I am Ranger/Bio Eng (with a bit of Pistoleer thrown in for combat). The synergies with CH are obvious, but I don't really like doing what everyone else is doing, so I chose BE. (Although I am beginning to suspect that the real reason I chose it is because i like heavy punishment )I won't have have la ot of skill points to spend on BE, but at least I will able to make Pet Stims and Vit Packs and until the cloning fix goes live (not another month probably) this is not a lot less than a Master BE can do, so...

ErEbo - that's very interesting. I'm a Ranger/CH/TKA right now, and have found it very difficult to strike a balance between functional pvp and useful pve. It's a hard line to draw, and this particular combo leaves little to no points leftover if you want to master 2 of them.

Tough combo to make work, IMO. ~J

I am a Master Ranger and a Novice Carbineer (0-1-1-0). However, I have been considering going to pistols instead. I have a Marksman (going into BH) on another server and his pistol skills own everything else. I keep hearing that pistols will be nerfed so I am not sure what to do.

Oh, and I am also a novice medic (3-0-1-0).

Has anyone considered taking Carbines?
I know carbineers aren't fixed yet, but I take it that they are supposed to be some sort of crowd controller.

So I figured: Ranger for the debuffs (traps), Carbine for Crowd Control makes you a nice combat supporter. Oh, and of course carbines do proper damage, too Maybe throw in a little Squad Leader skills and you have a nice char that is well wanted in groups and is also good when solo.

Does that make any sense to you?
Please post your opinions, thanks.

Ranger and going 0/3/4/0 in the BH line, this allows me to do well in PvP with my guild and also add firepower to hunting parties. Gives me the crowd control with Carbines and the awesome pistol ability. Having Master Marksman I can still use rifles if needed.

Master Ranger

3/4/1/4 Creature Handler (Climbing to 4/4/1/4 for now)

3/0/0/2 Rifleman (accuracy and speed, may eventually switch to 2/0/0/3 or 1/0/0/1 and master CH)

4/0/0/0 Marksman (Dropepd ranged support, send in pets first and I don't need no stinking warning shot)

No medic skill, because quite frankly if I'm holding my T21 a group of corellian butterfly drones will kill me. I can easily heal pets with pet stim Bs or Cs

At the moment I am Master Ranger, Teras Kasi Master and Novice Medic + First Aid - 1 skill point left. This is fine as things go - I am good at PvE but suck at PvP.

Ranger: 2 4 4 4

Pikeman: 2 1 2 2

Novice Medic 0 0 0 0

I do decent damage in PvE, but am usually very quickly Incapped. I'm gonna get Master Pike and see how I like it, if I don't I'll go BH LLC or Carbine. I feel pretty vulnerable as a Melee at the moment.

Well, Currently I'm runnin Ranger 3-3-4-4 and BH 0-1-1-0 with a touch of medic 0-1-0-0

it works pretty well...I can make cash pretty fast taking out marks near town and I can still be useful to animal groups due to the traps n such....NO comment on the uselessness of Camps... I debated dropping the BH stuff for squad leader (seems like im getting into bigger and bigger groups lately) would be nice to have someone who can concentrate fire and the like. But, then of coarse, Ill never di any kind of real damage....and thats what battle is all about right now.

I'm currently working up to Master Ranger / Master Rifleman including the four levels under marksman that increase my ranged accuracy.

What I am going for is basically a modern day marine sniper, I have also just recently picked up brawler and am deciding on whether or not I want to stick with it.

I hear alot of people talking about rangers being solo characters. I can't think of why that is. When I think of a ranger, I think of an insertion specialist on a commando team. Lots of fun in PvP, especially as a sniper who is concealed and can crawl as fast as most people run. (Of course this is currently nerfed since other players see me on thier radar....)

Creature Handler sounds fun, just so I can have a pet.
