Should Rev Profession be included w/ POF?

Herald is still not accessible to PoF-only Revs unless they buy HoT.

That’s good enough.

Ranger next specialization

in Ranger

Posted by: serow.6524

serow.6524

I like the idea of a spirit shaman for the next ranger elite.

Weapon: Hammer
Skills: Spirits

My spirit shaman would get the hammer as its new weapon, great.
In terms of new skills, it doesn’t get any. Instead the current line of spirit skills are upgraded through a trait in the elite spec. In addition to providing its current effects, the new F5 will cause the ranger’s existing pet to channel the spirit into itself for a limited time, causing some additional effect. Something like an enhanced manifestation of nature.

Sorry I don’t have any mechanics, this is just a concept.

Axe/Axe can someone throw some light?

Axe/Axe is my primary weapon set for open world PVE, much AOE on very short cooldowns (make sure you have Honed Axes traited), useful for tagging as much stuff as possible.

I really like playing the Leader sort of role in parties, and I feel as if the class should be:
-Versatile
-Sustainable
-Supportive(in terms of buffs, heals,shields etc)

Chronomancer, Guardian, Druid, Tempest, Herald
These are the first classes that come to mind.

Help me love my ranger?

The appearance of the animations is very nice, a very agile fighter moving around. The survival animations, sword, gs, offhand axe, dagger are all very nice.

When youre out in the world just adventuring and exploring by yourself it doesnt feel as lonely ( for lack of a better term) since you have your trusty sidekick with you.

Overall the class resonates with me very well and just kind of feels right when i play it.

Agreed, these are the main reasons why I still love my Ranger.

If you provided us with a little more information about your plans/goals I think you’ll find a lot more people would be interested in responding to your thread.

What mode of PvE? Dungeons/Mapping/Farming?

Do you have a preferred playstyle (Condi/power/hybrid/etc)? Is Optimal damage important to you?

Do you have budget?

Hijacking slightly…
Is there a good setup for tagging as many mobs as possible during random events while doing world completion?

Any asura rangers out there?

In all my other MMOs, my Ranger/Hunter archetype are all the smaller races (it originated from my Hobbit Hunter in Lord of the Rings Online).

In addition, Norn’s running animation feels slow and lumbering, even at the smallest body size. Sylvari aesthetics overall reminds me too much of Michael Bay’s Decepticons, with those leafy slices all over the body, which is a major turn-off for me. Charr’s jumping animation feels like the maximum height is set too low for its body, which doesn’t evoke a sense of fun for me whenever I press spacebar. Nothing wrong with Human looks/animations, except that the Asura Ranger came so naturally to me that I never considered creating my Ranger as Human.

I would recommend you swap to Axe/Axe or Axe/Torch when you are doing events which involve multiple mobs and many players. Helps to tag more mobs so you can get credit for involvement.

1. At 80, you choose 3 out of 5 to be active at any time.
2. All skins you get are unlocked to your account. At any time you can reapply the skin to your equipment at the cost of 1 transmutation charge per item.

The Secret World does its telegraph shapes pretty well.

It looks like GW2’s circles, but has more shapes, and uses white instead of red. It also has a single pulse emanating from the source, and when the pulse fills the shape, the effect is cast (it’s a cast bar within the telegraph itself, essentially).

I like this current system a lot better. The April 2014 revamp made leveling un-fun, because I can’t even start experimenting with traits until 80. That’s how troublesome the trait acquisition was for me.

Now that traits can be unlocked purely by leveling, I no longer have to rely purely on login Tomes. The fun of leveling is back!

Nomenclature for June 23rd Update

Each class has 5 lines, so I’d just number them.

Eg.

Ranger A has Marksmanship, Skirmishing, Beast Mastery, so they’re a 1-2-5 Ranger.
Ranger B has Skirmishing, Nature Magic, Beast Mastery, so they’re a 2-4-5 Ranger.

When Elite specs come in, which takes away 1 choice from 3, it becomes
2-4 Druid
1-3 Druid
