Ranger Archive

I always thought of you guys as loners in the wild that could tend to your own wounds, and gain bonuses to melee and marksman combat. If you guys get some love, you should gain those things. I mean, you guys almost always pair up with a combat profession, and you should be able to heal yourself, maybe using /forage and then finding (for lack of a better name) a Medicinal Herb, and then mixing it with water and creating your own stims that you could use? Just some ideas from a long-time MBH that would like to see Rangers become a really interesting profession.

Yeah, that describes a part of Ranger that I enjoy. The wilderness and creature expert.

Actually, our camps do have healing modifiers which reduce our wounds VERY slowly.

But it's true that it's impossible to be a Ranger without a combat profession to back it up. I'd really like to see us get some special attacks, accuracy and speed modifiers and maybe even our own weapon. Firstly though, I'd like to see us get more points to defense (which currently stands at +10 melee, +10 ranged ).

thanks for the support Istys! But i'd take it in a different direction. We would still be "Masters of the Wild" but would also have more military minded abilities. I'm tired of being pigeon holed into "PvE only" or more specifically, PvCreature only.

There is NO other combat profession in the game that is PvE only. We can track players and NPC's for goodness sake. And if you read the original descriptions of Ranger and our Gear, (in the game book) NOWHERE does it hint at or say that Ranger was to be soley a PvE(creature) profession!

I just want ahat

Lame ranger humor aside, it is good to hear some support, wew have been getting a lot from players lately. I still get the "Didn't they take you guys out of the game?" line in Theed and Coronet, but generally everyone is pretty supportive. I would just be happy with hunting- the Army Rangers are really mroe comprably to Squad Leaders anyway. If we got some cool abilities, decent mods and maybe a few useful PVP abilities (camo, man traps, plenty better ideas I am sure) it wouls suit me fine. Can't have evything after all
