Ranger Archive

I'm not a power gamer, so it took me over 2 months, but finally made Master Scout, Novice Ranger& Novice Bounty Hunter! This all happened last night, lol. Wow, what a rush! This wookie is happy!

Novice Ranger has some nice skill enhancements. Is it worth pursuing over the others?

The question, as I'm sure it's been asked many times before, is what's next? I have plenty of credits, but skill points are almost gone. I had to sacrifice all my Artisan skills except for Domestic 1 (I'm not giving up making food or my Generic Crafting Kit). I also gave up Novice Carbineer because Bounty Hunter has its own carbineer column. 125,000 carbineer points down the tubes, lol. Elite Carbines seem to suck, though and I still have 38K ofcarbine xp I can use in BH tree.

I gave up Novice Brawler & Novice Entertainer, too.

I have Novice Medic and First Aid 2 and I hate to give that up. Healing is quick. I also like using T21 Rifle (Novice Rifleman) and DX2 Pistol (Novice Pistoleer).

I'm also a Novice CH at Taming2 and Training 1 (soon to be 2). I love using my pets and I sure don't want to give that up. Are droids better? Do Bounty Hunters need to use droids to be good?

Also, how good is the Light Lightning Cannon? Its stats don't look so hot. Is the electricity damage what makes it better?

And finally, I'm a neutral and I'm not a member of any PA yet. Don't know if I want to be. I did all this mostly by myself and my house is in an area surrounded by mean aggro animals to keep the soliItude, lol.

Any guidance from those who walked this way before would be appreciated.

Well you ask alot of "other" class questions that you should post to their respective boards. As for continuing the Ranger portion of your class, it's more of the same. Continue to grind out survival, scout and trapping exp. We have some nice things in the works that will go live in the coming months to make it all worth while. Read this board for more information. However it appears that you are more interested in dabbling in several classes than mastering any one, that's fine Idabble as well. I can't sit here and tell you which line of Ranger to go up, only you can decide that. Try to narrowyour questioning down to Ranger specific and we can help you alot easier.

You'll have problems specializing in anything with such a diverse profile. You have BH, which has rifle, pistol and carbine trees so drop all of those elites or drop BH and specialize in a weapon. like, You could go CH, Ranger and Pistoleer. Or replace Pistoleer with rifle or carbine specs. If you want all 3, BH is probabaly the way to go, plus you get those cool BH missions to play with as well.

And, there are some really cool things coming up for Rangers. Tracking, Cammo kits, etc.... Should be fun!
