Wouldn't it be nice if we Rangers had some skills/benefits to support the fact that we are closer to the natural world than others? With all the nerfs going on between professions b/c of the PvP discrepancies, I feel a good alternative would be for the Devs to give Rangers added combat bonuses or better trapsto the PvE part of the game.We could be slightly better at killing creatures than others...or at least our traps would provide a significant benefit. This would not effect the PvP aspect of the gameand would give people a reason to be rangers. Input anyone?

I am all for it but I hope we are ready for what we ask for. Our boards are civil, informational, funny etc but.... I see it now NERF THE RANGERS, THEY SNARED MY CL 40 PET, UNFAIR!!!!!!!!! or RANGERS ARE SO UNBALANCED THEY CAN TRAP PEOPLE THEN SHOOT THEM!!!!!THATS TOO POWERFUL EVEN US BHs CAN"T DO THAT. just my two cents.

You sound new to the forum.

I suggest reading the State of the Profession list and see if it suits what you are suggesting.

The list contains suggestions on all varieties of topics (including PvE and PvP) made by other Rangers on this forum.

The list is at the top of the forum or available via my signature.

Yes, I am new to this forum. After having read the state of the ranger profession post, much is cleared up. I must say that most of these posts are much more tame and even professional than most other professions. Lets hope the Devs give us some love too. I agree with what you have outlined for traps. I think by significantly improving traps, that will give us more combat ability in the PvP sense. I would also like to say that I feel that doesn't go far enough. I think, by being a Ranger and knowing the anatomy and workings of all creatures, that that working knowledgeshould be reflected in all aspects - both harvesting, trapping and combat. I dont feel that it does as of now. I also realize that i'm only talking about a few branches of the Ranger profession, but this is just what concerns me.

Thrasia,

One lucky thing we have going for us is that the Ranger dev does give us a lot of attention.

That, coupled with a kickass correspondent, and we're in great shape - for a profession that was arguably (at launch) one of the least developed.
