Ranger Archive

I'm loving being a ranger, but I have a few questions.

1) Why do we have to wait to gain that last +5 of Camping by hitting master if it doesn't do anything? You don't get a new camp, your camps heal modifier doesn't increase....what's the point of it? Give it some meaning or make Frontiering 4 a +15 to camping. Every other skill increase gained in master does something or increases your chances of success except this.

2)What is your personal success with mask scent vs. camo? I went to Dantooine today and met a master ranger, and having never been on Dant, asked if he had any supplies to make camo kits that I could buy off him. He said his camo never works and breaks more often than mask scent, whereas if I'm in a group using mask scent as is the majority of my group (not master rangers), I'm usually the first or only person to have it break. Does species make any difference on this, I'm human and the person I spoke to was a zabrak.

3)Finally, doesn't it seem to anyone else that we should have some fishing bonus? Anyone in the game can fish, and the ONLY advantage we have over a completely new person is that we can get our own bait. Woo hoo! We are master rangers, and yet we have the same chance of catching a fish as does a person who still has all his skill points available.

Congrats -

1: The HTFB does have a 5%+ healing modifier over the FB. Now you can make em as well, so that's something. Realistically, I seldom use the HTFB, too many resources to make. I use the lower end camps and heals rather than let the camps heal me. Now if they can fix the HTFB, maybe I would use it.

2. Camo loves me. I can wander all around and except for Nightsisters, my stuff is seldom broken. Course I do have on +15 camo/maskscent modifiers. Used some on Endor last nite, wandered right thru red aggros with no problems (I was escorting a medic back to the group). I can even be overt and wander in camo right up to Imps. And I am human also. Maskscent does break more than I think it should, especially as a Master Ranger.

3. No opinion of fishing, as I find it boring. Think this would be a bone the Devs could throw us to keep us semi-happy and it would not be too hard to do. Does our harvest bonus apply to fish??

Congrats again - way to go making Master Ranger
