I think Rangers in general are ment to be one of the better well rounded classes average at everything and this a very good 1v1 class. We have like 2 Utilities that are useful without traits, I don’t think other classes have that disadvantage, and I really feel that is what is hurting our build variety.

I think Traps, Spirits, Pet shouts and Signets should be seperated like the following.
Have a trap boost in the Marks tree and a spirit and a signet, then have 2 or 3 in Survival etc etc. The all or nothing of needing to put 30 points into 1 tree to make traps or spirits or whatever useful is what kills us.

I would like nothing more then to have say a Spirit, a trap and either lightening reflexes as my utilities, Something that could give us some real variety.

Also in terms of the pet shouts, I think they need to be completely reworked, what if they were instead more or less the pet abilities. Everyone wants more access to pet control what if they were attacks or atleast pet utilities. I think we can all agree for the most part pet shouts are usless considering their cooldowns and the pet nerfs.
