Proposal Overview
Indeed ,mainly for more damage buff and pets’ system rework.
Goal of Proposal
Boost the all weapon skill damage and fix the pets’ system that make pet or rangers’ pet-system worth using
Besides, the conditions removal and break stun skill should buff too.
Proposal Functionality
For the pets:
First of all , to make pet dps or function reliable, especially for the moving target ,
melee pet auto attack should leap (may not be leap finisher but need to leap) or shadow step to target
and make melee pet auto attack cleaves.
And pets’ F2 should be more reliable, active at the moment when press F2.
Besides , pets’ attribute should share a number of percentage of rangers’.
If add points to trait of beastmastery then it will add the percentage of the rangers’ sharing.
Like 20-30% basic sharing, and 50-60% sharing if traited.
That will decide the pet function and make their type more close to their master.
Such as a bear of the zerker rangers can make a high dps too.
And one more for pets, pls make bears do more damage and make cats tanky ,
thats means pet attributes more average ,but function are different.
For the pets’ system :
In my point of view , pet can be stow or active permanent anytime by rangers themselves.
If pets stowed, the rangers will receive a basic damage buff,
it must depend on the beastmastery trait,I call it “Wild-Power”.
When pets stow,the F1 to F4 can change as a kind of buff supply base on the 2 pets’ types u stow.
I call it “Wild-Blessing”.
Such as :
F1,F2 for pet No.1:
like cats will supply: fury , might, open-strike or some else boon for offensive,
maybe apply some conditions when rangers attack.
F3,F4 for pet No.2 is similar above:
like bears will supply: protect, condition removal or stability etc.
To avoid the ranger too op with my design ,the stow or active may not be use in combat.
So ranger have to choose both pet or “wild power” before combat.
It depend on the final test of the new ranger-rework, if dev think its too OP ,
then make it can not stow or active pets in combat.
For the weapon skill :
The only goal for me is boost the basic damage, especially for the melee weapon .
The reason why lfg show “no ranger” is mainly cause of the poor dps of rangers.
If ranger can not be rework to more damage of melee weapon skill ,then improve rangers’ range attack :
Longbow, auto attack act faster; Shortbow’s auto attack apply bleeding from all position ; Axe’s auto attack deal more damage.
For the traits:
I suggest the grandmaster trait of beastmaster should have one trait like follow :
pet immunity damage when ranger is not downed or defeated.
In the current version ,ranger will lose a part of dps when boss 1-hit-down their pet,
so I think this situation will be changed by the above beastmastery grandmaster-trait.
Besides, beastmastery trait should have change for more base on my design above,
like add some trait for “Wild-Power”
For the others :
The conditions removal and break stun skill should add more or lower their CD.
Associated Risks
Maybe change too much from the original design.
For the professional balance , pls dont make it too powerful then nerf ,and make more testing for new ranger.
