<DIV>I am a level 50 Ranger on Grobb in the guild Malice. We raid everything worth raiding and even currently trying to take down Darathar on the deception quest. I was impressed with how SoE fixed the problem of wizards/warlocks and hopefully they will do the same to rangers. I believe there is a lack of threads on this topic because there are not many 50 rangers that are also in high content raiding guilds. At the moment rangers do poor melee dps and their bow dps is nothing to shout over and almost just as bad. On almost every single raid mob crushing damage is the best way to hit and take down a mob. The only way for a ranger to do decent damage is t5 crushing crafted arrows. With the new fuel patch in crafting it takes alot of platinum to keep up with the demands of a raiding guild. With these new instances we raid at least 5 mobs per a day and in that time a 50 ranger uses many stacks of arrows. Unless you find a way to exploit and make tons of plat there is no way to keep up with the required amount of arrows it takes for that cost. Also the level 50 skills that buffs bow skill by 52 at adept 1 focus fire lasts 36 seconds and recast time of 300 seconds. So your telling me sony that for 36 seconds i can bow better than anybody else and for the next 5 mins im a waste of a raid spot? The ranger class is so badly done that i find myself being a pull sacrificial [FAAR-NERFED!] on Darathar just to eat up an AoE. My class is called a RANGE-r yet unless i spend platinum daily for arrows for raids im a worthless class and take up spots in raids? The class needs to be fully revamped including damage..... buff timers.... and cost of arrows to be made otherwise i can sit there with my thumb up my behind looking pretty while my guild takes out mobs.... thats cool GG SoE i wish i could screw up classes as well as you maybe i could get a job there as a dev.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> -Vindail Swiftshot, 50 Ranger, Malice, Grobb Server</DIV>
