Thread: Ranger Melee
Not many of us around. I just have a question for you.
One of the Ranger skills doesn't make sense to me. What is Rescue. Isn't it just Taunt? Can we use the skill?
I have never met another Pikeman Ranger. Am I alone?
You're not alone. I am also a Pikeman/ranger.
Naritus. Shole.
"One of the Ranger skills doesn't make sense to me. What is Rescue. Isn't it just Taunt? Can we use the skill?"
/taunt
- Pulls aggro on the selected target
/rescue
- Pulls aggro of all critters attacking the selected target
Essentially /rescue can be used to pull multiple creatures off a specified target with one use.
- The Ranger must move between the rescued target before the critters reaquire aggro
- Otherwise the critters will simply start attacking the victim again.
There have been mixed results from the other Rangers regarding the skill.
- Personally, I find /taunt to be more reliable and cheaper to use than /rescue.
Not an easy combo at the moment, but this has more to do with pikeman woes than anything else.

Thanks NRaas, that makes much more sense.
Good to see a few more melee rangers. Being a Bothan, I thought the Ranger would be a natural choice for me. It's too bad we max out at 500 Strength and Constitution. 
I'm a Swordsman/Ranger...
And what about that Chance-to-Hit mod... Why does it only affect ranged?
