Thread: Thinking Of Becoming A Ranger
Greeting Everyone.
I'm almost Master Scout (2 Boxes of Survival is all i need) and I'm a Creature handler. I've been working towards Pistoleer but have been giving a lot of thought to Ranger ever since i uncovered the joys of trapping, and the sheer boredom of raising Pistol EXP.
It would also fit, Master Scout, Master Ranger & Master Creature handler. i think these 3 skills go together like Bread & Butter.
I'm curious about the rangers traps though, how effective are they, and would a Master ranger pretty much be able to trap anything in the game ??
I would have enough points to Master the 3 skills listed above and put the rest into Medic. how does this sound ?
You would have enuff points to master those 3, but after that you would be lrft with about 18 pt for medic. Thing is believe you will have to give up all your present combat skills.
for help planing your charcter

Ya im aware i would have to gove up all combat skills, i would have to rely on my 3 pets to fight for me... Hopefully with my adversaries Trapped and me constantly healing my pets this would suffice.
If you are thinking of becoming a Ranger for the traps, well, in the current state of the game that is not a good idea. We get2 traps, and as far as I can tell, they don't work. (I only have trap 2, and can only confirm that)
If you are only at Survival 3, you are going to hate Survival xp when you hit ranger. The camps look cool, but the max cap of survival xp isn't that much higher, but the xp required is exponentially higher. (new patch is supposed to allow for camp building in no-build zones (but not city zones) so there maybe some light at the end of the tunnel)
If you like the concept of a CH/Ranger, and having your pets do most of the work, then I'd say go for it. Ranger doesn't look to be very high on priority lists, and we aren't that much better than scouts.
