Ranger Archive

Awsome changes/additions.

I had 1 question though. Why go all the way to master ranger? I know some people just go up the camping tree, of wayfaring tree. Why not have something for master ranger only?

People have suggested having another camp or set of camps that could be customized during the crafting process. Others have suggested adding a temporary shuttle port access for all grouped players.

to recap, do you think there should be something extra for a mastery title besides the +10 to camping, +5 to this, +5 to that?

what are peoples thoughts on these things?

I couldn't agree more!!

Master should give new skills and bonuses that are significantly better then the lower levels. It is not that hard to go up one branch. The much greater difficulty of attaining master should pay off with great benefits.

There should be a new skill/schematic to correspond to each branch at master. At master, rangers should get their best camp, their best trap, once tracking goes in they should get the best tracking ability at master and if there are multiple skills relating to camo we should get the best one of those at ranger, as well as bonuses to every ranger skill.

250 points are enough to dabble in 10 or more professions but you can only master two or three depending on the ones you choose. Players that choose to specialize should be rewarded. For each profession, master should be greater then the sum of its parts. Master should not be regarded as one block out of 18 total blocks of a profession. It should be the upper 20% of the profession.

Masters already get something: It's called +10 Melee Defense & +10 Ranged Defense.

To give you an idea of how good that is, look at the following, it's the defense bonuses for other master elite classes(just the one master box, mind you):

Fencer/Pikeman/Swordsman: MD +5, RD +5

TKA: nil

BH: RD +7

Rifleman: RD +5

Carbineer: RD +5

Pistoleer: MD +5, RD +10

That makes the Master Ranger box the single best defensive bonus in the game, I believe.

Though overall I beleive the rifleman class (compleleted) gives the most defense (melee and ranged) possibe. Combined with ranger your defense is through the roof compared to other classes.
