Yes, I know...the devs wanted every ranger in the game to be a sniper, but I decided to walk a different path. Anyone else out there walking it with me? Ive got the say that my Ranger/Fencer is by far the most challenging character Ive made.

I R Ranger/Fencer


Hence why I am miffted that the "Creature To-Hit" bonus does not apply to Melee.


Its fun and slow.

I am almost a ranger, and almost a fencer. I think brawler goes better with scouting because you can harvest very quickly after you kill the creature. Also, if you are a true ranger who is totally self sufficient, a blade seems more natural than a gun. I didn't see aragorn with a gun. Anyway, a ranger also has traps, so he is not totally required to fight melee.


Although ranger may appear not to play a significant role in the galaxy right now, i think it is very enjoyable to get the xp for, and the xp requirements are not insane like they are for the pure fighting professions.

(future) Pikeman/Ranger/Squad Leader (third part possiby, to denegration of both of other skills). I'm thinking of just going for trapping/exploration lines in Ranger and possibly sacrificing some Pike skills to make room for Squad Leader. Any thoughts about how to make this multi-profession work, or if it's just not feasible?

Omega another Fencer/Ranger (well will be aRanger this weekend anyway) out here. I agree it is challenging but very fun. Also just got my Rantok sword yesterday, it has changed the whole game for me. With master one handed specialist and a Rantok you can kill things incredibly quick. The only problem I have is when hunting in larger groups with lots of rifleman luckily my terrain negotiation is decent enough I can run up and get a few hits on the thing.

TKA/Ranger


I am making a killing selling craploads of hides for decent prices. I am nearing bioscience IV to get the most out of my kills and get a kewl new title. Trust me, I get so many resources even from the lowliest mobs, there is no way a scout could keep up. I can rack up about a 1000 resources an hour fighting easy stuff. For instance, I get 10 scaley hides from a capper spineflap. The only thing hurting me is the resource shifts on my server.

Trandoshan scout/ch/tka -- going for master ranger, almost to novice


I just don't get how we're supposed to get 40k - 80k of camping xp... that's going to be mind-numbingly BORING. Do groups out there actually value a camp?

One mind-numbingly boring box to fill (Frontiering 4) and 3 boxes until Teras Kasi Master. Despite needing about 700,000 unarmed xp vs. 70,000 Wilderness xp, I will get the unarmed first by a long shot

Im also aone handed scout for now, possible future ranger/fencer but unless they make the to hit bonus with melee and bring /conceal back from death I probably wont be a ranger. Just not worth it without it...
