ok so I really like the changes they are making ranger, but now i am really going to have to pick up master scout in order to maintain the role of resource collector ( pays the bills you know). No way am i going to drop master ranger i mean come on people id be crazy to drop it and by having to pick up master scout and carbines as i hear then that i am totally screwed, because picking up a master combat profession isnt doable unless maybe carbines.blah i hate when they force us into a specific role when they have the possibility for un limited combonations. people always argue on trying to make the game more like the sta wars world and i say give it up they dont really care they are more worried about how are they going to make you play this longer. well i just needed to vent but would appreciate any comments

urm, if you are Master Ranger, don't you already have Master Scout?

If your that worried about being a resource collector try buying a harvestor droid.


Then you can be like every other combat profession right now able to kill faster, thereby harvesting faster thereby maintaining your resource harvesting job.

"Pick up"? No.

"Retain". Yes. No plans to let go of my Master Scout status (especially if the HTFB is moved to it; be nice to use the crafting station there to work on the new traps. I refuse to lose it just when it finally becomes USEFUL!).

In order for me to maintain Master Ranger and Master Scout, I'd have to drop Master Rifleman to pickup Master Carbineer.


I've never been a carbineer before, so I'll try it out when it hits TC, then deceide if I want to keep rifles or master scout.


I may just take WeiQuinn to padawan for the character slot and make the alt a Master Scout.

I may even consider Master Scout/Master Ranger/Master BH.... although I never really wanted to play as a BH.

I started the game as a scout, if I leave, I will still be a Master Scout. All my other professions have changed, but not Master Scout.


I don't know if I'll keep Ranger after the changes because on my server, we have bit Ranger hunts to do resource gathering. If all that is being moved down to Scout, then there is little reason to keep Ranger. I'm currently working on Master BH, so that will take care of any excitement that I need. :-)

Iconic professions. Ok. Chewbacca was a Scout. How come that didn't stay?


When you think about it, aren't almost all of the original professions iconic? You can find something on each of them in the Expanded Universe.


I miss being a Ranger. It was more than a profession, it was a virtual way of life. It wasn't for everyone. But those who took it up became family.

I will wait for the changes to be finalized before I make template decisions.

Until the changes hit test, my preliminary thought is that I will be keeping master scout. My template will be master ranger/master carbineer/master scout. I think the master scout and master ranger will be the ultimate survivalist in the game and that's the kind of character I want to play.

probably not keeping master myself. i'll probably keep trapping and/or camping and pick up some medic to augment my MBH/Master Ranger template.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.

For myself I am torn between several possibilites.


Master Ranger, Master Carbine, maybe Medic 0400 and Riflemen 4000. Riflemen 4000 still gives me a nice lead off punch and I can use the Riflemen special with a carbine. I would use the Ranger Camoflauge and Concealment abilites instead of cover.


or


Master Ranger, Master Carbine, Bounty Hunter 0400, Medic 0400, Gives me Spray shot and critical shots and still has some helaing.


or


Master Ranger, Master Carbine, CM4000. Most healing I can get for these points.


They all have advatages it just comes down to the degree of healing I need or want. That and seeing what the final build of theRanger skillsetturns out to be.
