<div></div>4.5 Prowler's Escape: move down one position on the hate list of all mobs within AE and dropping into stealth 116 power, 1s cast, 0.5s recover, 10m recast, 20m radius AE decreases threat priority of targets in AoE by 1 position teleports target to random location within 10m grants stealth to caster suspends movement speed enhancements <chuckle> This one still broken? Much as I like the idea of being able to agro everything in AE range by tapping this, I'd still prefer it WIPE us from the agro list instead of adding us (with -1 position, lol). Kinda like using Elude & Surveil to pull.

Thanks for the info, guys.Kinda a pain, though, that they're mostly limited-use buffs. I'd much rather have less powerful always-on abilities, or more powerful rare-use ones, than this 5 minute recast 4 minute duration junk. That's just tedious to use.<div></div>

Honestly if these ones shown here stay as the release ones, INT seems the good path for over all use. Big dmg poison, spell crits ie imbued procs and poisons, and the rest are sorta ok. The other skill tree's honestly just don't offer much at all . . heck STA makes us a wannabe Tank . . hehe to funny. Guess tahts good for those OOPS dang, agro'd again.God that reminds me of a Britney SPears song lolOpps I agro'd again . .<div></div>

There should be skills like this . . .Sniper's Glory = Short duration Ignore all mobs defence for landing ranged attacks. like 1min duration 5min recharge.Stealthly Fire = Each bow shot lowers hate by 50 and returns you to stealth for duration, 1min duration 10min recharge.Bowyer Mastery = Increases Chance for Crit hits, 10% chance to inflict added 50 dmg per hit 1min duration 10min rechargeHunter's Companion = Summons a wild animal from the surounding area to aid the Ranger, Deals 100-150 dmg per hit for duration or till target dies max duration 2mins 10min recast.Bow of the Elements = Temprarily Imbues your ranged attacks with a dmg effect from each elemental plane, Magic, Fire, Ice, dealing 25dmg for each elemental type that lands on the target. All hits will deal the dmg not procs, Max duration 1min with 10min recast.Atleast then tis really neat effects with some good use, not 1 maybe 2 skills per tree thats even remotely useful Heck as is I bet no archers wil even try to master a tree, but will instead spread to STR and INT to get the added stat bonuses from each at the highest amounts.<div></div>

<div></div>5.5 Intoxication: charge next melee hit to deal severe poison damage 87 power, 1s cast, 0.5s recover, 5m recast, 10m duration 359-539 heat damage instant 419-629 heat damage every 6 seconds (for 24 seconds)I found this humorous. Severe poison damage that's heat damage?Anyhoot,I think the current setup is rather good, in that it adds some diversity to our characters, but also keeps in mind the AP vs Non-AP problem.This is, if we have 'Holy Sniper - does 1500 damage against Undead on next 3 arrows' or something, we'd find Undead combat almost trivial, yet for someone who hasn't got the KoS expansion, it'd be as hard as ever.If the skills are too exotic or too powerful, we'll find ourselves in a typical SoE buff-nerf cycle from now til eternity.If the skills are more subtle however, it adds a new degree of variation and skill to our character set.That doesn't mean to say I am blow away by the skills chosen bySoE thus far.I was hoping for some things that would be a real hard choice, thus meaning there'd be a good chance of lots of different forms of Ranger.As it stands now I pretty much know what I'd do.I do like the weapon specific choices though, I think that's a nice touch.And keep in mind, this is SoE, so we're bound to see them changed, added to (in content that you pay for of course) and nerfed for years to come. At least the code is in game now. And we're not Generic Ranger #1 anymore.<div></div>

<div></div>Heh, go check out the berserker AA's, now those are some decent skills to spend points on. Passive abilities, that's what we need too not some 15 min recast crap.

I was the author of the Predator Achievements post that was more or less reposted here from the Beta forums. The post has been updated tonight and is up on the Assassin boards since the Predator boards are gone. Lots of updates, all of our buffs are inherent except for the attacks and the final depth 5 abilities.http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=40&message.id=11978<div></div>
