Ranger Archive

This is my plea to balance the Profession Skill Mods throughout Ranger and the Profession Prereqs so that Melee Rangers will not be gimped.

So,
/kneel;
/mood meek;
/ask Please?;
/mood respectful;
/bow2;

Ummm, who are you addressing?

I can't do anything.....

Albeit I agree with making ranger melee.....its pointless to ask....very rarely do the devs actually check the forums, and when they do its even rarer for them to do it in a profession form, and they will do what they do but by god if they make ranger carbines and scout Ill Ill!!! Oh Ill probably just go along with it and sign petitions to make myself feel like im doing something because im too addicted to the game to quit!!

I'd be careful... those Red Names are more wired than the FBI. You may not see them... but they know how many cell phone calls you got today!

Seriously though, many Devs (and many RedNames) have a tendancy to lurk ... especially Tiggs - she's a sneaky one.

Healthy, productive debate about Ranger pre-reqs are very important for two reasons. First, they prove that we're dedicated to finding a viable alternative to whatever is being proposed. Second, they give the Correspondant posts that can be easily referenced when dealing directly with devs or when trying to press a point in the Corr forums. Don't worry... as futile as it ever seems discussing this is better than not.

I agree with the original poster. I'd love to see Ranger more melee viable - but I also want it to be more ranged viable. What I don't want to see is it being purely restricted to one or the other.

Personally I want it to stay OUT of being either ranged or melee. I just want it to be a straight scout prof. Thats what it was, thats what it should stay. That way the only good way to go is MRanger+Carbineer/Pistoleer/Rifleman/Other Ranged.

So,
I do want to see combat mods throughout Ranger (at least to a degree), and I feel that they could just as easialy give either general accuracy / general speed mods (does this happen anywhere else?), or they could give us a different, similar, ability set. Keep in mind there is probably some development still going into the Ranger class as I type.
