I appreciate the last few updates for Rangers (though they are definitely not all that is needed) especially because the greatsword (my favorite Ranger weapon) has received a couple buffs.

However, I’m really hoping you guys are continuing to look at this weapon as I find it just generally under performs in most situations. At the very least I think the auto attack needs to do a bit more damage and I’m not sure what’s happening but my swoop isn’t hitting anywhere near what the tool tip says it should be. The tool tip would lead me to believe that it’s base damage is higher than maul though maul always hits harder. Is this because the maul tool tip was never updated to reflect the new damage number? I think that swoop needs a little extra boost in the damage department if that’s the case.

More than anything: while I like my pets, they are far too unreliable in dungeons, W3, or sPvP. I think more of the damage needs to come from the Ranger.

I agree instead of the class ‘Ranger’ It’s like a beastmaster class where ur beast/pet does more damage :p… to me its so boring to see boring damage

i would like it if the pet was just there to provide utility.

something like having a pet that doesn’t draw agro, doesn’t fight, but provides a bunch of buffs to the ranger related to the pet. it could still be killable (there by cutting off the buffs) but then you just switch out your pet for something else.

a bear would give you a toughness and vitality bonus with maybe a stability skill and whatever the unique bear skill it had.

a lepard would give you critical hit chance and attack damage with a camouflage skill and whatever unique lepard skill it had.

so on and so forth
