In light of the newest nerf to the ranger profession, I have decided to drop ranger all together. My time as a master ranger was short lived (2 weeks), and in that short of time, it became obvious to me that ranger was one of the most nerfed professions in SWG. I plan to use the 2x xp week to grind (yes grind, no respec because I started after CU) Creature Handler. I realized that by keeping master scout and using my +114 trapping droid and +115 harvest droid, I could be 90% as effective as the master ranger that i currently am, and free up 63 skill points in the process. I really did love being a ranger, though like so many have in their sigs, "ranger is not a profession, its a lifestyle". I will easily be able to keep the lifestyle without sacrificing the skillpoints, because all I will really loose is the harvesting bonus and... well, that is all I will loose. And, after all, there is always harvesting skill tapes. Maybe someday I will come back to ranger if and when there is ever a "ranger revamp." So, now that i have bored you with my rambling, so long everyone.

Creature Handler also got hit heavily with the mighty nerf bat today too.

I really am sick of the devs continuing to nerf professions that are already gimped the way it is, and leaving the obviously overpowered professions (should I bother saying what classes i mean?) alone. This is...annoying to say the least

You might want to try squad leader, its really fun and very deadly in a group.

Yeah, I know what you mean about CH. However, at least they got rid of the xp cap bug. I was going to do CH when I started this char, but I couldnt get past novice

Now I can (i think), and I feel CH is prob the closest elite profession to Ranger, and therefore, the easiest to play while keeping the "ranger" lifestyle.

Rifles.

I would also like to add to what the gentlemen above said about CH being close to ranger. I think this game got ranger all wrong for star wars. The ranger is this game is a outdoorsman. The ranger I was and what I hope this ranger would be a little bit of each of these, combatant/stealth/concealment/spec ops/tracker. So, the only thing they got right with ranger to me is tracking.

We should have these trees:

1. weaponry-accuracy, speed, and defense mods

2. Concealment/stealth- the ability to actually use your surrounding to camo and sneak to the target un detected.

3. tracking-its fine how it is, this line should also have the camps in it

4. humanoid/creature trapping-this should include human traps also, not all thrown but also static traps.

*Requirement for ranger should stay the same, master scout.
