Rangers better at tracking?

[Tuscan Sangiove]

hi all.I was just wondering if Rangers had any advantage over the other scouts with regards to tracking. I don't see anything written about it, but among players I've talked to in groups there is a general feeling that rangers track better. Do we get a higher skill cap or something? Or are people just used to EQ1 where rangers were the best trackers?

<DIV>I don't believe we do.. I don't believe tracking is associated to any raisable skill at this time (at least one that gives a transparent effect).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What Rangers should be able to do is track Red con mobs.  It makes no sense that we cannot and if any class can track them, it should be Ranger.  But I'm to the point where I don't care who can all track them.. just let Scouts track them.  I mean the the log reads</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"You begin to look for tracks"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So you are telling me that I cannot see this HUGE FREAKING NIGHTBLOOD'S FOOTPRINTS??  This thing is like 2 stories tall.. I can track a fish or a bat but I cannot see the footprints of a 20 ft tall demon................</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Heh on my first trip to EL i was in a grp hunting bears for the 10slot bag quest.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Well after a while and we killd the quest bears (forgot name) and we couldent see any more, my grp started asking me: 'is there any xxx on track?'</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My reply eatch time was.. No because i dident see any on track. I then started running around and found more up witch pussed me.</DIV> <DIV>Then it struck me. At 28 all bears was <FONT color=#ff0000>RED </FONT>to me and i coulent see them. This only reinforced my belif that trackking in EQ2 just isent worth it.</DIV> <DIV>I can shoot arrows longer than my traccking range, and i have only seen one chance to improve trackking and that was from a trait, but i pickd something more usefull. What i pickd i forgot... i just know it was more usefull then this POS calld trackking.</DIV>

<DIV>Rofl, Yeh its stupid that you can track a fish!. Its also stupid how fish will chase you onto land and float about lol. I see not much logic behind not letting us track reds either it pretty stupid, Why didn't they leave tracking like it was in EQ just add the golden line.</DIV>

Our tracking is exactly the same as any other scout.
