Hi, just for a little background, I am not currently nor have I ever been a ranger. Not from lack of interest, but from lack of reason to play one in the overall GCW. I have a few ideas that would make ranger not only viable, but highly effective in the GCW.
First, I would like master ranger to have the ability to drop a camp that will last 2 hours. This camp will include a mobile Cloner, that you can clone. The reason I see this as being very cool is because, in a guild war, you can go to a players city, drop one of these, and use it instead of Bestine or Coronet, where you can be clone camped. After the two hours are up, the camp and cloner vanish and you are then required to clone at closest. When this happens, a message will show up letting you know your current cloner has vanished, and to please find a new one.
Second, I would like to see somewhere in the camp line, a defendable camp. This camp when put down would come with three E-Webs. These would be like 500-1000 1.0 speed rifles that anyone in the camp can control, and would have about 50000 HAM. They would obvouisly destroyable, and ONLY useable against either overt, or teffed players. This way you couldn't exploit them for Lootwhoring.
Next, make the trap line usable in the GCW. Allow Rangers to drop minefields, that they can craft that once again only last two hours or so, or until they are tripped. This would allow positions in the game to BE MADE DEFENDABLE. Thus allowing ambushes to be set, and add a sense of strategy into the game that is currently missing.
These changes ALONE would make ranger a very cool proffesion to pick up for the GCW.
Also, possibly add the ability for rangers to take cover, and have thier dot VANISH from the radar. They can attack, but when they do they reapear on the radar. Also, let this ability only useable once every 30 minutes or so, like FOW from the TK line.
Please give me some feedback.
P.S Combat disbanding the camp would have to be abolished for this to work.

Combat disbanding is something that I've been working on getting for Scouts.
I think these are good ideas - all things that we're working on.

These are excellent ideas! Many versions of this have been suggested over the life-time of scouts and rangers and it would be great to see them added. Camps definitely have a huge potential to be useful in PvP and the GCW. Also, if you haven't seen it there should still be a comprehaensive stealth thread stickied at the top of the page. I think you will like alot of the things that it suggests - feel free to add your input!
I'll edit with a link if it isnt still stickied.
EDIT: You can find it in the "from stealth to camping" stickied thread.
