This is what ticks me off. I never cared to be 50% higher dps than the next highest dps class. I enjoyed out ability to solo as a ranger. With this HUGE nerf that is drastically changed for the worse. Leave my DPS where it is and give me a pet to tank with, better roots, or ability to fire my bow point blank range. If a wizard can cast a spell point blank, I want to be able to fire a bow. They both have a chance of getting interrupted which is fine. I'd play my ranger nekked for the ability to nuke in melee range.
It's not all about the fall from top dps placeholder.
