How 'bout rangers getting so pumped up after watching their favorite dancer, they feel almost as good as the average combatant, and experience a buff to general speed/accuracy and melee/ranged defenses?
Failing that, state resistances would be kind of cool, and keeping in line with 'ents affect your mental health' thing. Say, after getting an ent buff, you're less likely to be stunned or dizzied, because the show was so friggin' awesome it gave you a laser-like focus and heightened mental acuity.

Id be ok with any small buffs apart from TN. I dont think that should even be a skill mod that can be upgraded via foods/clothes/buffs etc. SLs and Ranger/Scouts should be the only ones proficient at that.

Camo, trapping, and Harvesting are what come to mind for Ranger specific buffs.
But, I really like Al-djinn'i's idea of having buffs to resist state effects. It makes sense - if I'm truly insipred, I'm gonna feel lucid and much less likely to be stunned or dizzy.

poison and disease resistance for Rangers perhaps. I know that this is something I've felt should be a part of our skillset for a while. We, being hearty and having been bitten by many critters, are naturally more immune to stuff. Having a dancer/musician improve on that would be even better.

But does stuff even poison or disease anymore? I can't think of the last time I got hit with disease or poison... actually, I can. It was the Dathomir Sarlaac, pre-CU. I don't think a single thing has poisoned or diseased me post-CU ... and that's included bols, vorritors, kimos of all shapes and sizes. Maybe another "broken" item for the "angry bags" now?

I think creature specials are broken mate thats why they probly are not firing. I know the devs are planning on/working on revamping the creature special system so hopefully we will have a tougher fight in the months to come.

Just one thing..Camo Duration. II want camo to last longer and break less..as a MAster Ranger, having more creature harvesting mods is really not necessary

Burst-run duration and/or burst-run downtime reduction.
although, burst-run should be a toggle for ranger or a /sprint which is toggle and the buff improves efficiency (less action drain over time).
Also, Camo mod increase

How about a buff that let's you 1 shot incap, kill and full on delete anyone that uses leet speak as a form of communication.

HOOAH!
But seriously, a trapping and harvesting buff (in that order) would be more beneficial to us as Rangers. Traps are our tools that are given to use on creatures and harvesting becasue well that is our main income.
(aside from helping people with their quests)

- Increased chance to forage a unique item
- Increased chance to loot rare components from creatures (hey, I'm a Ranger, I should have a BETTER chance of extracting more / better bone shards or tissues, I know where to look)
- Harvesting bonus
- Trapping bonus - increased speed (throw faster)and/orincreased duration of effect?
- Improved crafting (assuming we get experimentation on traps and camo is fixed to the point where it's useful to make it)
- many of the other ideas posted above as well

Just trying to get this clear in my head before going over to that other place and making a right Charley of myself, this would be a buff that only added to some sort of skill/talent that scout/rangers have rather than magically bestowing even a low level of, say TN or MS on all and sundry?

Can you even imagine the whines that would come if we got that? "Im a jedu I want pearls, gimme gimme gimme!!!11" and so on..
Otherwise I would put trapping highest, and harvesting second.
