<DIV>I'm sure this has been beaten a few times, but I'm gonna whip that horse one more...</DIV> <DIV>One of the things that continues to bother me about the Ranger class and Scouts in general for that matter, is that we as Scouts can't Scout. Heck Monks and Bruisers make better scouts these days then we do. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What is a scout?</DIV> <DIV>According to dictionary.com it's:</DIV> <DIV><EM>To spy on or explore carefully in order to obtain information; reconnoiter</EM></DIV> <DIV><EM></EM> </DIV> <DIV>Even SOE's description of us is something that we're not.</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://everquest2.station.sony.com/en/main.vm#professionRanger" target=_blank>http://everquest2.station.sony.com/en/main.vm#professionRanger</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We.. the Scout archetypes need to be fixed.</DIV> <DIV>Cheers!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>yep. we where scouts before LU13. now we are a class who get's tracking and has invis for free. which most of the classes do anyway. and if not, invis totems are common.</P> <P>but they don't care that we can't scout. it's better to have gimped scouts then people who would have the advantage of going down a dungeon unharmed to do... well, no idea what there would be to do in a place full of heroics and where the advantage lies, but hey, it keeps the others from complaining that they can't do stuff which scouts can.</P> <P>/sarcasm off</P> <P>---------------------------<BR><A href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/en/pplayer.vm?characterId=383113204" target=_self>Ryilan Nightbreeze </A><BR>---------------------------</P> <P> </P>

<P>Tracking is pretty bad unless you know the specific con you are looking for</P> <P>There should be more filter choices available.</P> <P> </P> <P>Ranger invisibility should have 0 speed reduction - our class should be the one to be able to ride a horse at full speed while cloaked.</P> <P>This would at least be some significant advantage of being a Ranger.  After all Ranger is an outdoorsy type of fellow.</P>

As it stands, how can it ever be that rogue classes can track anything better than a predator. They are well....rogues. We are....well rangers! So come on, give us a love with some real boosts to tracking and invis that go above and beyond what any other classes can do. Among the predators I would like to see a tracking and invis bonus to rangers outdoors and assassins indoors.Theo
