One of the little skills that rangers get as the go up in skill is more info on the /examine. Does anyone know what bonuses you get at what level.
For example, at novice scout when we examine we don't get much info. But at Master Ranger we can see attack types/ resistances/ aggro / Deathblow ect.
FYI knowing what deathblows and what does not is extreemly useful. A friend & Iwere hunting Fynocks on Rori (needed avian meat) and just before the lairs died 3 big spawns appeared. 1 of which was the queen that would deathblow, the others don't. Once we realized it, we learned to hit the queen first incase we got incapped. It saved us a lot of cloning time. BTW you can /examin while incapped, and give suggestions in groupchat.

according to the ranger faq (found in the "ranger links" sticky thread):
- Novice Scout: Aggressive, Stalker
- Hunting 1: Tameable
- Hunting 2: Hide Type, Meat Type
- Hunting 3: Deathblows
- Hunting 4: Ferocity
- Master Scout: Difficulty Level
- Novice Ranger: nothing
- Tracking 1: nothing
- Tracking 2: Special Attack 1
- Tracking 3: Special Attack 2
- Tracking 4: Base To-Hit
- Master Ranger: Damage
i could have sworn to see creature resists required some degree of scouting... turns out that's not the case

What is useless about it? I can't stand when I play my alts that don't have all that information.

their special attacks are very useful to know. if something has poison or disease, i stay away.

I so badly miss my Master examine skills!! I dropped MR for a small break (bout 3 weeks) cause I was getting burned out having been one for months. Anywho, I missed the infor greatly, being able to tell what attacks something has, poisons, disease, ect was always a great boon that I overlooked untill I no longer had it.

This is probably the most useful Ranger skill, IMHO. You can check the resists on a creature and immediately know which weapon to use, or if you have a chance of bringing it down. Deathblow info is also good.
I wish they add a little more info, like whether or not a creature will "bring a friend".

A correction if I may: At hunting 4 you can see the difficulty level too....unless they changed it.....but I never had master scout and I could see the difficulty level....but this was like 3 publishes ago....

I agree that the examine info is extreamly useful if you hent solo with out buffs and armor. I enjoy knowing what tactics my prey might decide to use. The only info I wish we had that is not there is...creature is social.

Ranged attack would also be useful in some situations.
