<div></div>If you read the post and not just the first few sentences you would have noticed that SoE WANTS to stop health inflation. if you make rangers to where they are supposed to be and mages back on the top you will have to adjust the health of every mob in the game causing ALOT more work.

<div></div>yes I agree but intill you actually play a caster you will realize how easy you have it. scouts draw little hate compaired to casters and as it stands now rangers do double the DPS for half the deaths

<div></div>I wish the new rangers would understand the Veteran Rangers could care less what DPS we output.... I realy could care less. I'm a ranger, i play a ranger because i like being a ranger, not because i like my DPS rating and my damage output. I play it because I'm up for the stupid "what did one ranger say to the other ranger? You bind here often?" joke that you hear about once per day.you might catch a few of the younger Ranger Generation here, but don't expect us to be kissing your whinning [Removed for Content] and agree'ing with you here.I'm tired of these threads about DPS and how wizzy's are less than us, oh wait their more than us now. Whine Whine Whine Whine. If all you play the game for is watching your Parser you need to go find a different forum to complain in. Cause many of us are no compasionate to your kind who go about trying to get change by raising hell. The Correct way to do it would be to mention that you would like that, not demand it./rant<div></div><p>Message Edited by meest03 on <span class="date_text">02-16-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:04 PM</span></p>

<div></div>Well To me, Seems like the Conjuror's DPS is waaaaaay out of line.  Aren't they supposed to be tier 2 DPS? Yah they are...So basically what they've done is pushed one or two of the T1 DPS classes to the bottom and brought a T2 DPS class to number one, Oh yeah makes perfect sense /not.

<div></div>Calling for other classes to be nerfed is bad form broham, don't stoop to their level no matter who or how bad they deserve it.  And no class deserves to be nerfed.  I can understand it and accept it for the sake of the game, but don't wish it on anyone, it's bad form, it's bad karma, it's all that bad jazz.  And it's not very nice either, and for all those ranger and non ranger being supportive and constructive with SOE's blind new take on Rangers, it is nice to see other peeps with curtesy and respect for those around them and it really does mean all the more coming from you non rangers.  Don't kick down someone else's door just because someone kicked down yours, if you are going to blow a bunch of hot wind then aim for the peeps who are responsible.  And no that's not an incitement to flame the dev's and what not though I've found myself making a few posts of a said nature, be constructive and inform them since they apparently need it and maybe we can get "balanced" instead of nerfed.

Please stop throwing around the 4000 dps number.Rangers never hit 4000 dps on live and it only happened in beta because of a bugged AA.Pretending 4k dps is some sort of average ranger dps only makes you look incredibly dumb.<div></div>

You would be well served to read my other posts on this issue before acting like a child because you got your bad numbers thrown in your face.If I parse 300 dps better than other T1 DPS on live and suffer a 500-600 DPS reduction after the proc changes, something is wrong.Maybe you would enjoy rangers being lower than T1 so we can be "punished" for being awesome for a while, but that's a vindictive stance only a little baby would take, and has no place on our forums.<div></div>

<div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>I wish the new rangers would understand the Veteran Rangers could care less what DPS we output.... I realy could care less. I'm a ranger, i play a ranger because i like being a ranger, not because i like my DPS rating and my damage output.</div><div>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div> </div><div>Words spoken by a <em><strong>TRUE</strong></em>  Ranger!!  I totally agree...</div><div> </div><div>My advice to those unhappy or unable to cut it as a ranger...... I have a robe for you...</div><div> </div><div>This is NOT a class that  just anyone can play and play it well...We should be,  at this point in the game..   able to take on and master anything  sony throws at us.  We will always be rangers!!    I didnt make  the class  called DPS.... I created a ranger.</div><div> </div><div>Skyra ( level 60 ranger - DPS NOT INCLUDED)</div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div></div><div></div>And I don't believe for a second that you "VETERAN" rangers don't care that your dps is getting cut by 60%.   Its great you play a Ranger because you are a "true" Ranger but I am not a person that plays or does anything just because of the name. I play a Ranger for the simple fact that they lay waste and they are fun as hell!! I pay the same price as everyone else and believe that customers that pay 15$  a month shouldn't be punished because they picked a certain type character.  I believe that it was SOE mistake from day one but it should of been fixed very soon after discovered.  Not 600 days after.  Everyone says "well you knew it was coming" wrong after over a year you believe it was here to stay.. I believe that people have payed to play this game and invested allot of time into a character shouldn't have there character deamed useless. I am going to continue to play the game and I am sure I will have fun.  I and I am sure many other people do not agree with the way allot of things are handled in this game.  This is our right considering we pay to play.  I can say that I will be trying Vangaurd and Hero's Journey  just for the simple fact that I might not be pushed around by the gamemaker.      Oh yah I think your opinions will change when you are getting your arses handed to you in every duel by characters 3 levels lower than you!!! After all this game is somewhat of a power trip and you will have no power!!<div></div><p>Message Edited by Ayode on <span class="date_text">02-17-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:29 PM</span></p><p>Message Edited by Ayode on <span class="date_text">02-17-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:30 PM</span></p>

From my friends testing (he is in beta) it is clear that this is one of the best new skills of all the classes. Only problem I see is the long recast time.</p><p>Even if there are no corpes it will summon 3 undead which ups your DPS by about 200. If there are 3 corpses on the ground you can expect a 400 pt boost to your DPS which will actually put you above conjurors for that fight. If there are 6 corpses it will boost your DPS by about 800 which makes for a pretty insane skill.</p>

I'm a ranger, i play a ranger because i like being a ranger, not because i like my DPS rating and my damage output.

You bind here often?" joke that you hear about once per day.you might catch a few of the younger Ranger Generation here, but don't expect us to be kissing your whinning [Removed for Content] and agree'ing with you here.I'm tired of these threads about DPS and how wizzy's are less than us, oh wait their more than us now. Whine Whine Whine Whine. If all you play the game for is watching your Parser you need to go find a different forum to complain in. Cause many of us are no compasionate to your kind who go about trying to get change by raising hell. The Correct way to do it would be to mention that you would like that, not demand it./rant<div></div><p>Message Edited by meest03 on <span class="date_text">02-16-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:04 PM</span></p><hr></blockquote><p>Sorry but not everyone is a simple as you are.</p><p>Some of us actually like to play all the content in the game</p><p>That includes raiding, in fact it requires raiding on a regular basis just to gear up to kill Godking, etc. to complete end-game quests.</p><p>If ranger dps is cut in half, that affects the entire raids ability to get the job done.  I don't care about other classes dps, I just don't want to become OBSOLETE.</p><p>so now it's your turn to ST  FU because you certainly don't speak for all of us.</p>
