Am I the only person who realises that the lvl 61-70 CA are going to be completely underpowered now?I wasnt that impressed with the difference in the upgrades to what I have in the first place. I thought then that compared to the huge leaps in damage that wizards get they look pretty poor.For example the upgrades that Wizards are getting to their main nukes are pretty damm nice. The ranger upgrades are awful in comparison.It seems that the ranger CA for t7 were balanced without the proc changes in mind.When we all get to lvl 70 this lack of dps problem is really going to hit home, far more than we're seeing now.This isnt a knock at wizards , i've no problem with them getting some great DPS, good luck to them, this is just about our underpowered skills.

<div>What do you want to bet that the lvl 61-70 ranger CA's were made based off the old proc system and not the current one?</div>

The damage increase is pathetic, in most cases it's 50-100dmg.Compared to the wizards lines in T7, there's a huge gulf. This is why I still say that this DPS problem will only become worse the higher rangers go.Storm Of Arrows upgrade at 70 hits for 3k, the wizard aoe hits for 10k.Ice Nova is hitting for 7/8k etc.Nothing against wizards, they should have damm good nukes, but where's our damage now?

Rangers are now utility class, our pathfinding, lockpick and evac more than makes up for our loss in dps.

<div>It's 20-30% increase in damage for both spells. 3k extra damamge on a spells is meaningless. You have to look at the procentual increase. If every spell increases with the same % your total damage will increase with the same %. So if wizards were doing 500-700dps single target and they get a 30% boost in damage they will do around 700-900dps. On live now I am doing around 400-600dps non raid buffed and not the best grp for scouts either. I guess if I get all my T7 spells at adept III i will be doing around 550-800dps. If I get buffed correctly I guess I could match wizards. It's defenately a big hit for rangers, but it's not all that bad. </div>
