I have two pictures in my head that describe Ranger...
1) A solitary person way out in the boonies alone hunting with himself who is content and never needs anyone, never really contributes anything to the world of people cause he doesn't care...who comes in every 6 months or so to trade some stacks of hide for supplies... picture Jeremiah Johnson and Ole Bear Claw....
This picture is fine for some...but the "Ultimate Hunter" idea goes out cause this person could not collect enough to actually make a dent in any crafter's resource needs... and this person wouldn't care anyway.
When I was this type of Ranger every NPC in the game could kick my butt ( and I mean lowly maulers from Naboo, pirates from Lok and any Bandit or Thug...not DWB Ghosts and Black Sun types)...causeI had no real combat skills. but this type of Ranger should never ever be Seen by any NPC cause he should be the Master of his surroundings...I know I know this is SWG and NPCs have hi-tech...but why shoundn't we too then?...but I digress....
So we have the one man on the mountain who doesn't even care about the GCW goin on in the valley but by god if that GCW comes up his mountain beware cause he can't do squat about it.
Then you have Picture #2
Since this is SWG...the Antarian Ranger or some variation from this Universe...
or Army type Ranger...Who both have the skills of the above Outdoorsman Ranger but uses them in a Military type conflict.
I won't go into all the skills that both should have...that has been done...
Woodsman or Ranger...the Devs need to either make them both...or pick one...so I can choose which way I want to go.
No combat rebalance is not gonna fix combat in this game...no it won't...there will always be l33t people...
and if you want to be l33t you choose the same template as the others and ...tada...
but by god I am not as good at killin Jedi as BHs are...and I am not as good at makin weapons as a WS is and I am not s good at killin 5 players in a PVP battle as a TKM/MCM is...butnone of them should be able to out hunt me...and all of them can...that sucks ass...the combat revamp will not change this...makin a damn decision on what a Ranger is will...givin Rangers the Skills a Ranger needs will...Makin Rangers -Rangers and Woodsmen-Woodsmen will.
God that felt good....
ok I'll shut up now and go back to my durni lair

Well they want us to be creature centric which means the military ranger is out the winder but it will be a while before they can give us the skills to makes us the 'Ultimate Creature Hunters' im afraid.

Imagine, a team of 10 rangerssucks ten times a single ranger, lol
Wait, no, it does not.
They surround the victim and start spamming /rescue until poor creature tires and drops dead...
Victory is ours!
