I was just looking over some posts, and was disappointed to see that Ranger will most likely require a marksman carbine line. Isn't there enough professions with Marksman as a prerequisite... I get a distinct feeling that devs seem to like guns a lot..(like CU didnt give that away) I thought it might be cool to have a sneaky TK/Ranger character...but with marksman pre-req it will make things difficult. (At quick glance you will only be able to get MTK/MR/Medic 0.0.2.0).

Combat Medic is another perfect example of a profession for which ranged professions get "free" prerequisite line of marksman 0004.

Hybrid Prerequisite Professions:

Combat Medic: Medic, Marksman
Smuggler: Brawler, Marksman
Comando: Brawler, Marksman
SL: Scout, Marksman
BH: Scout, Marksman
New Ranger: Scout, Marksman

Brawler :3
Marksman :6

Not exactly fair..Where is the love for melee?

Yeah, as a former TKM/MRanger I am not happy to see that they may make the Carbine line a prerequisite for the upcoming version of Ranger. I am glad they are reducing the SP requirements (its about time) but making being a TKM/Ranger combo more expensive is annoying as hell. I dropped Ranger to pick up Master Doctor and give that a shot (plenty of time to regrind if I want to), but having Carbine as a prereq will severely limit the speccing options for anyone wanting to be TKM as well.

It looks like you will be able to go TKM/Master Ranger/Medic0020 or MCarbineer/Master Ranger/Combat Medic 4000, and thats hardly an equitable balance.

tell me about it. i LOVED being a tkm/mcm. but considering i spent most of my time solo, i didnt have the melee speed or accuracy necessary, let alone the specials, to really damage someone.

cm is one of the most fun and useful profession imo, and i hated having to give it up. but the marksman pre-req took up too many points, it was not feasible for me to keep it.

and i too had considered trying out ranger, but if they push out the carbineer requirement, i will not be doing so, not even on my ranged chracter, unles i suddenly decide to be a carbineer. lol

I think the professions that require a marksmen pre-requisite should also have an alter brawler pre-requisite, so you can choose either or...

This would be awsome for bounty hunter, smuggler, combat medic...etc

Mankind - Is this something that can be raised on the corespondent forum ? There is a debate going on about ranger pre-requisite at the moment. It would be good to present our take on this, and get some feedback.

well there are more professions that come from the marksmen lines already.. would be really nice to have more brawler based profs..

well, there was discussion on swords foumrs about, ranger-swordsman=ninja, whish i think tk would be more ninja liek with the inate armor and all

Maybe they could allow you to choose a marksman or brawler line. If they can code the game where you can use any 6 lines of the FSvillage then surelybeing ableto choose a different line in brawler or marksman is possible. That way there are more template options for people and it would actually allow people to be somewhat creative with their ranger templates.

I am going to be raising this in the Corre Forums soon so you guys know. From what I've seen so far it won't get changed I'm afraid but maybe I can use it to get some possitive information for us.

Yep been TKM and Master Ranger for over a year, it was my firs 2 choices, and I really don't wanna give up tk. I really don't like to 'kite' I much perfer toe to toe.
