Spotter should be an adept trait
I too, thought this was odd that a ranger had to invest more points to get a trait that a warrior or guardian could get for less. Despite them all having different effects, I agree that it should be adept or be given a stat boost to compensate. +1
This should really be put into the ranger discussion group rather than game bugs ^^.
Although I agree with you, there is a parallel with elementalist, where the 50% reduction in falling damage is traited at master, and every other class it is traited at adept.
