I have been toying with the idea of continuing my journey to Master Rifleman, and I am wanting to pick back up some of the TKA that I very reluctantly dropped. Now, this isn't such an issue for many people, but I keep asking myself, 'Can I bring myself to drop Master Ranger?' I suppose this new template would make me a stacker, but I think I could become one of those uber Hunters we all wish we were (plus I like levelling). My new template would be Master Rifle, Ranger 0-0-4-0 and the rest of my points in TKA. I hate the thought of even dropping any of my Ranger skills, but let's face it, I don't use any skills other than the harvesting bonus. Odds are, I won't be able to bring myself to do it (I have tried in the past, but I can't hit that surrender button), but I am certainly thinking of it. So tell me, what do y'all think?
Ummm you know calc, I like you, you have done a great job as our coorespondant. But one part of the above post really bothers me. but let's face it, I don't use any skills other than the harvesting bonus Maybe it's just me, but seems a very bad bad bad thing for the coor to say. We have been saying that for ever now, and usually the coor brings us back by saying things like "yes its rough, but hey at least all our stuff works. We are in the works for getting some changes and improvements, so hang in there and come up with some positive fead back." So what you just said to me is, the coor thinks ranger sux and has no purpose other then harvesting bonus, and so we may as all well just drop to 0040.
Is that what you inteded to say? I'll be honest, I have planned to be ranger since before launch. It's not what I thought scout and ranger were going to be. But I enjoy it. I was seriously thinking of dropping some to try other combat prof . Cause frankly ranger is useless and pistoleer isnt much better. But I said, "I'll stick it out with both until after CB and see."
Just MHO.
Besides the fact that Calc has a master on TC as pointed out, there isn't anything to loose touch with. I dropped master back in January or February. You know what has changed in that time? Nothing.
If he did not have the TC character and things were rapidly changing, for good or ill, then I would agree with this point. I would rather he have fun with his main character and not get burned out with a profession that can at times be frustrating due to a lack of needed changes.

Well Squidwalker..let me think on that for a bit....
/haul; Come back Calc.
Well if you are still working up rifleman, then I say stick it out through that. I know several master ranger master rifleman, and they rock. With the right methods, basically what Nemo0 laid out, you can take down some pretty insane stuff. And that's without buffs or armor. Rifleman is hard and slow, I tried it to rifles 3 in marksman, and went to pistols. But that was tricky too and I had to find out how to play it. Rifleman is very different then pistols or melee combat. /maskscent(camo) with concealshot is the bomb.
