<div></div><div>We are rangers after all!  We have been gimped in the past...enjoyed a bright shining moment that highlighted what we are capable of...and now we have come full circle.  I am pleased to see that recently there have been more of the "we're gimped but here is what you can try to make it better" type posts.  That's why I troll these boards after all.  :smileyhappy:</div><div> </div><div>Thanks for the encouragement guys...expecially when I read things on my server boards like "our top end raiding guild has now closed recruitment of rangers since the nerf has made them unnecessary".  We just have to work together to find a way to play this new version of our characters well.  Keep fighting!</div><p>Message Edited by Saracynth on <span class="date_text">02-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">06:31 AM</span></p>

<div></div><div>I been a ranger since may of 05. What I know is this. We went from gimped, to super power ranger, to semi balanced. Now we are going back into the gimped category. But what I really want to stress is if they unbalance the class too much, they will "make adjustments" down the road as they always have. I do not like the combat revamp after the revamp idea though. Wasn't lu13 supposed to fix the combat system? Here we are at lu20 getting changed again (one of the more drastic changes to any class).</div><div> </div><div>But relax, if they [Removed for Content] us hard, they will be forced to patch us up. Rangers for the most part have level heads, and communicate effectively. I know poisons were proccing too fast recently, now they are lowering that, in my opinion far too low, in time if indeed my thoughts bear out, they will have to up it again to find the medium ground for balance and dps.</div><div> </div><div>Also keep in mind rangers aren't the only class that uses poisons. A few classes are getting gimped along with us, so bear it out, we will get adjustments to re-balance post lu20.</div><p>Message Edited by StealthM0de on <span class="date_text">02-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">07:01 AM</span></p>

If you or anyone else believe they are going to fix these issues then SOE has you exactly right where they want you. You can coplain till your finger tips are bloody as long as you are still paying for your sub why should they change. Too many people are mindless to business tactics the only thing SOE cares about is $$ which is understandable but the object in a business is to make the customer base happy not disgruntled. They wont fix anything till they see the subs drop. Think about it  most people have already  ordered and paid for  KOS  thats about 9 mil in change . I have said this before and I will say it again bringing out these changes 1 week before going live assures they still get their 9 mil. How many people here would have waited if these changes went beta in the begining most rangers and those effected negativly prob would have never purchased KOS. SOE isnt stupid thats for sure.BedlamX</span></div>

PFTEH! )</p><p>But we will live, I enjoy playing ranger alot and I'm sure I still will. We'll find other ways to kill stuff <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
