<DIV>Just a thought that I have been mulling around in regard to making, rangers a more viable class for groups, and more like what a ranger should be.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>__________________________________________________ ______</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bow damage Idea:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Change the whole concept of bow damage from straight numbers to percentages, with each of these initial shots based on long range low agro.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Each time the ranger fires his bow he can do basic damage, but with Crit hit percentages depending on where the shot hits.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Each shot has a high percentage chance of taking 1/8 hp from a mob.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Each shot has a lesser chance of taking 1/4 hp from a mob</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Each shot has an even a lesser chance of taking 1/2 hp from a mob, </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Each shot has an ultimately rare percentage of taking 2/3 % from a mob.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With 1/8 shot, this can be repeated up to 4 times in a single mob, taking 1/8 from the remaing hp-with great luck it could happen though not likely.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With 1/4 shot, this can be repeated up to 2 times in a single mob-again, with great luck </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With 1/2 shot, no repeat possible, but the possibility of a 1/8 shot bonus would exist, which would again, be very lucky as the 1/2 would not be common and maybe occure in one out of ten pulls. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>With 1/3 shot, no repeat crit possible on this very rare, but very deadly bow strike to the heart. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>____________________________</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>DPS AND TANKING</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>High sword dps in groups.</DIV> <DIV>Very high dodge and parry skills that would not allow them to actually tank, but to avoide damage to a certain degree when they draw agro rather then just getting pummeled until they loose it. Rogues should get that also.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>____________________________________</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Utility:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Same ranger skills: Track, travel spells, and maybe a group buff or two. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>just some thoughts for my, as usual, red headed stepchild ranger friends that nowone seems to know what to do with...:smileywink:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
