Ranger Archive

Myself and others have mentioned in other threads how a ranger is just an advanced scout. It's one of only two professions that require you to master a single profession, then simply adds onto that lower profession. The other is doctor, which requires you to master medic first. Since we seem to think that we don't gain much over scouts by becoming rangers, I decided to ask some doctors what they gained over medics so that we might have something to compare against. Please check out this thread to see their responses.

What i can draw up from this....although they need the same amount of points doctor is THE vital class....from experience you cant hunt big without a doctor with good buffs with disease and poison cure with plenty of revive packs...u will get owned by anything which has a good disease (some diseases doing 200 wound dmg per tick and the buffs making specials do nothing and trebelling your health and action also giving them insane regen rates.

What can a ranger do with the same no. of points (and scout is also a far less useful prof compared to medic) ....well make eyecandy in the form of camps which are just better versions of scout ones.....make a few better but still not that good traps.....wear camo, maskscent which uses specific occasionally very hard to find resourses and works against Npcs, not that usefull, just walk around them......being able to find animals, grab a vehicle, much faster as areatrack hardly works and you can only use it while standing still not on a mount etc and funally get more meat....wow

So in other words.......doctors have several useful and needed abilites above and beyond their doctor skills.

Must be nice.
