I'm happy the ranger is getting tons of love. But I want to know when we are going to be thrown a bone here. Have the dev said anything to you about when we will have some changes here or just a small amount of love. ANYTHING PLEASE. Can one of them tell you or us hey here are a few ideals we have what do u think. Please we all are dying here for some info.

IF you have not picked up on the pattern yet, let me fill you in. Only the hybrid professions look like they are getting full revamps.


Squadleaders, Smuggler, Rangers (Soon To be Hybrid), BH (Partially Revamped already). One thing that all these templates have in common is that to be really powerful in PVP/PVE they really need to pick up another combat profession


ENter: Carbineer, Pistoleer, RIfleman, TKM, Fencer, Swordsman. From the way the Carbineer correspondant made it sound when i asked the same thing on our forum, there are no immediate plans to revamp the primary combat professions. Revamps are being done for the hybrid professions that needed some tweaking or lacked purpose.


I'd love to see some new changes to ranged and melee professions like carbineer or fencer. Or a mission or quest system that demands that groups utilize our unique skills to get a goal accomplished. Alas, I think this request will fall on deaf ears. My advice would be to pick up a complimentary profession like SL or Ranger and have fun with it.

We don't need a revamp, we just need some fixes and tweaks, which Ackehece seems to have done a fine job of researching and laying out solutions to. I can't wait till we see a bit of love, especially in the snare department (considering I'm about to lose Stopping Shot in my new template...Rifleman needs a root ), I just pray they can pull something off for the next publish, or at least the one after that.

shakes eye of mesra:

not in the forseeable future

basically base combat professions are on the bottom of the stack for revamp/love.

expect entertainers, crafters, hybrids, and Jedi to be ahead of us.

I do recommend you all take the time out to check the ranger revamp info in the dev tracker... it applies to us fairly strongely in how it affects our cover ability

We got a good deal of love in the CURB, only thing that we didn't get is a slight range increase (innate, I'm not lopping off any limbs) but everything else was a huge change. We've gone through 3 noticeably different phases throughout the game's existence. That is much more than I can say for SL's, andrangers...christ nobody can begrudge them anything. Hell if the dev's made a master ranger skill 'god mode' and left it in for a month they'd deserve it.

We don't need love, maybe a bug fix or positive adjustmentonce every 2 publishes, but that's enough.

You have got to be kidding me?! Rifleman love? I have been a master rifle since launch. We got a lot of love with the CU. You want to talk about needing love, try commando.
