Scout Archive

Thats ok JB. I just used my last token respec to redo my template to master scout. I dont want any part of Secret Ranger Man either. And to see two years work on outdoorsman dismissed so easily disturbs me.

Long live Master Scout

I totally agree Fodder.

Instead of fixing Ranger and keeping it the Master Hunter that it was, the Devs went off the deep end and completely changed the profession. Sucks they ignored the old time/old school Rangers and went for the shiny baubles to keep the masses happy.

The more reasonable apporach would have been to add a new profession to the game... content?. I think it's because Ranger was so borked up and there were no reasonable fixes to some of the problems - i.e. areatrack being screwed up, forage was a joke, traps ineffective, et. al.... they had to change the profession. Makes sense in a dev sorta way.

I am glad that Master Scout will become the premier hunter, and given the fact that you can master at least one if not two combat professions along with it (BH and CH) they will be able to drop creatures quickly and really start raking in the harvests.

However, I do predict with the FOTM being BH/CM/CH there will not be all that many Master Scouts. Maybe a true Master Scout will be as rare as Master Rangers once were. Only time will tell.

And as Mustafar opens next week, the shiny will keep everyone from whining for a bit longer.

Personally I think they could have added all the Ranger content they are proposing to the current profession while keeping all the skills they had already, and it would not have been overpowered. No need to remove the current Ranger skills or focus.

Basically we were asking for improved trapping, improved tracking, stealth and few other skills anyway, assuming they would be added to our current skill set. I don't think most of expected to get all those... but have our current skill set taken away (or moved to Scout). I really don't think there was the need.
