Hi all,


I just wanted to see if you could help. I mastered ranger about 2 months before CU. I then stupidly dropped ranger for Bh and proceeded to kick Jedi arse with my tkm skills. I now want to know what profs to take. I am thinking about going back to mster ranger and doing rifles this time around. Question 1. What other skills can i get with this combo and what should i get. I am downloading patches now and cant find a post-CUcharacter builder. Question2. i would like to do GROUP PvP and was wondering if my rifleman/other prof would be even worth taking along for some long range assistance. Plus will i be able to hold my own in the wild? Is Pistoleer even viable and decent or is rilfes the way to go as i see things now. Just a few more lines of my poor spelling/grammar/and typos please. Are there any other things i need to know about ranger now. Are camps useful and is grouping now encouraged? Lol I also still have a 30k resource deed , are these worth anything anymore? LOL I feel like a noob. Last question is, is there still good money in ranger or is it just a waste of sp now?

Well, with Master Ranger and Master Rifles you should have about 4 points free. Doh. So not much. I believe bloodfin.org has a good, downloadable character builder. Actually the most efficient weapons skill to take right now, skill point wise, is Bounty Hunter. It only takes one line from marksman rather than two.

I cannot tell you much about PvP unfortunately, you may want to ask on the rifles forum. What is really important is knowing what kind of attack you want to be able to do, and then pick the profession that has that attack. Its all about the specials.

Ranger is always a good investment of skillpoints if you are having fun with it.

Hey there. A good post-CU character builder I've found is on the following site:


http://www.bloodfin.org/modules/mydownloads/


After master rifleman / ranger you would only have 4 sp left.


I personally like rifleman as I feel it completments the ranger abilities (especially using traps). The 65 m range is a definate plus. Pistloleer has some good specials (especially stopping shot) but I prefer the range of the rifles tbh. A lot of others like MBH with ranger, as there is an extra 18 sp that you have left over (and may go for SL or use somein the FS skills).


Regarding pvp, I personally dont go for it. The ranger doesn't have enough melee / ranged defence to be totally viable. The ranger is a lot better at pve (big critters our specialty).


Camps are borked, more for eye candy then anything. They only provide healing, I think about the same as a medical centre.


The 30k resource deed will get you about 2.5 M on Chimaera.


Harvesting can still be viable, if you have the time and somebody willing to pay you.


Cheers
