I’ve been playing ranger as my main since release, and after a few days of dealing with this damage reduction it’s not as bad as I thought – I can still manage almost any dungeon route with a decent team, which for me is the biggest factor. Forcing rangers to use something other than just SB is a great idea but so hard to balance, and so far I’ve just been swapping SB and LB and still doing enough for the team – I’ll probably try combat weapons if this SB nerf stays, although IMO bows should still be the best weapon for rangers, and we should be the best ranged class.
My honest opinion right now is to lower the time it takes to use skills 2, 4 and 5, and possibly increase their condition damage. 5 right now’s almost useless with any kind of lag, since even if I reduce enemy damage with it, the amount of damage I stop dealing by using it pretty much evens it out. Up longbow damage a bit, or even better its speed, and rangers will still be great at range for damage (LB) and conditions (SB) while not being so one-sided.
