Ranger Archive

Finally! Made Novice Ranger at lunch time today. I have been playing since beta 2 and love this game so far. I decided to go the ranger route right at the end of beta 3, without testing any of it. It just fits my play style; solo, PvE, explorer type. Sure we have our issues like every other profession in the game right now, but it will all come together in the long run. I am testing out some tactics on white and blue mobs right now and as soon asI fine tune them I will try them out on yellows and eventually reds.

Mask scent is your friend if you haven't learned that yet. Bring it up, target your mob and have your way with them. They have no clue where you are for the first minute or so and warning shot keeps them away even when they do figure it out.

Trapping exp is super easy as many of the posts here have said. Root, snare and attack debuff ones are the only ones worth using IMO. But if I am grinding out the trap expI make and throw them all on the slower mobs. 4K per Kima wolf is no lie! And we should be able to use them on CH pets, they are animals afterall.

Survival exp is slow and boring and there is no way around it. We have some kewl camps to be sure, some broken, but kewl. They should let us get survival exp via fishing and foraging just to give us another avenue to get that exp.

Tracking, yes I want that ability.

Concealment, oh YES I want to see that brought back as well. I'm not a big PvPfan so I wouldnt use it for that much. However it would be darn handy when a BH comes a calling. It should only work in the wilds.

So here I am another satisfied Ranger as broken as we are. I will take this character and play him to the maximum ability that the game allows me to. I want our fixes and improvmements like everyone else but I am going to have fun while I wait, you should to.
