… I don’t quite care about what ppl said about ranger since I enjoy it being one… but after that clip… I think I’ll build myself a new character. now I see how underpowered ranger really are

I just played a Ranger to 80 and they’re not underpowered. I accomplished all the same things with Ranger that I did with my other classes. They are, however, under-exciting. They’re basically born bots. Find where to stand, watch your auto-attack kill it, rinse, repeat.

I do think Ranger has some issues with their group-centric spirit build: the spirits die too easily. In order to make a spirit build work, you have to keep your spirits alive to buff the group. The harder the fight, the less likely the spirits are to live long enough to matter. So, they’re basically buffs for killing trash mobs. The range on the buffs is much too short, too.

Other than spirits, rangers don’t bring anything to a group than the same thing every class brings: dps. OTH, a low skill player with a Ranger won’t bring down a group the way a low skill player with a Warrior will. The war will be face down ALL the time from trying to melee without dodging or circling. The Ranger will be a busy little dps bot the entire time.

Yes true, after trying other jobs I found myself still in love with my ranger, but I can’t help to bring this up, as one of the dps type of job ranger surely not doing the job to the max, I still feel that ranger need a lil boost on base damage or at least cut the skill cool down a lil

In my curiousity why ranger can’t use rifle or pistols, in my opinion a ranger should be able to use all ranged weapon instead giving 2 type melee weapons (sword and greatsword)..

and about the link on YouTube from prev post, on a character with rifle in sniping mode… I mean come on.. 10k++ damage

Before I saw the clip I don’t quite care about what ppl said about ranger since I enjoy it being one… but after that clip… I think I’ll build myself a new character. now I see how underpowered ranger really are

I find warrior with longbow much more ranger-ish than ranger it self
I saw some of my friends warrior do 7k-8k aoe damage with longbow and having kicka## buff
