Hi All,
I'm a Rifleman/BH at the moment (yes I did respec to BH, no I didn't kill a Jedi, I just can't :-p )
So I'm bored with BH and looking for something else.
Ranger did cross my mind, but I was wondering...does ranger add to combat levels?
I thought Doc and CM didn't, but smuggler and SL do add to CL (correct me if I'm wrong) but how about ranger?
I don't want to run around as a lvl 54...
THX for the help!

Firstly, Ranger does add to your combat level...
you can be a level 80 Ranger + weapon...
however, the problem is, is that ranger does not really add much to your combat abilities, so you will be less capable of killing most things because you are a ranger.
with that said, i still find it one of the most fun professions and a blast to play.

Yeah it adds to the combat level, but likr the poster before me said, you gain no combat abilities. The biggest problem though is no defense/offense mods either. With the Ranger Revamp and all though, we should see some good things happening.

As others pointed out, yes, Ranger adds to CL but you do not get any of the combat related skill mods that go with other combat professions, expect for the +10 ranged and melee at Master Ranger.
Ideally, our traps will make up for that. We don't need +xx ranged accuracy if we get ranged and melee defense de-buff traps that work.
We don't need root, snare and mess specials if we get traps that root, snare and mezz and stick as well as, say, a Master Carbineer special.
In short, our traps are supposed to be our specials, usable by any Ranger regardless of which combat profession, if any, they have on the side. They just need to be brought in line with the other combat professions.
Right now most don't work, or don't work well enough ( except the p-dart which is bugged and overpowered ATM ) and I think the trap speed is around 9s or something *g*
