Levetty.1279:

I get the feeling they just don’t care.

It is likely taking longer for information on ranger to get released because they are taking a hard look at the class and how to fix it. They can’t NOT know how we feel about ranger. None of the elite specs matter until HoT releases anyhow so your wait to actually make use of the elite spec is the same no matter if you know what it is today or any other day before release. Be patient and have faith

I’m just curious folks. Why do you like them? How does it fit into your roleplay?

Give rangers fish form. We can rule the seas!

My only complaint is hilt bash. I do wish it had a longer range or an animation change. Why does my stun root me? Seems counterproductive

Agemnon.4608:

I don’t have a ranger (yet?) and don’t understand the hate myself. You get two entire characters, the pet and the ranger himself. I did notice that many rangers use a knockback, which screws with targeting so that could be a lot of it but don’t bother me personally.

I hate to break it to ya but the pet is by no means an entire character

Quickening Zephyr would be pretty game breaking if used correctly. By that I mean match deciding not the whole game. Oh my god the burst! Yes I want it and yes ranger would be loved more in groups but is it too much?

When Ranger already has very little group utility as it is, and when compared to Guardian’s “Feel My Wrath”, that’s on a 30 second cooldown that also applies fury?

I totally agree ranger needs more group utility. Absolutely we do. But group quickness is REALLY good

Which is why it is a great candidate for Ranger group support.
Group Quickness is the only boon we have that everyone else wants or needs more of, they get enough of everything else from other classes. They don’t need or want more Regeneration from us…

After taking more of a look at things I agree. A group QZ isnt too much to ask for. Even traited I don’t feel its too much to ask for. Rangers need some love. Group QZ I vote YES.

Edit: Also I feel Justine about the Brutish Seals. I’m fine with it as is. I honestly think power ranger doesn’t lack for damage. Get pets to hit reliably and there’s enough of a damage boost imo

I imagine aspects applying buffs would be more likely. The nature of that buff could be anything though.

I’d like to hear people’s opinion here. Would you prefer better working pets or Druid? Both things we know nothing about and we have no idea how impactful either would be. And of course we all truly want both. But if you could only choose one which would it be? As the title says, which is more important to you?

Edit: Well I’ll be. Aspects do seem to suggest they’ll be removing the pet or something along those lines. Adding aspects requires replacing at least some of those f commands. But guys think about all those folks who aren’t buying HoT. Are they getting the short end of the stick as far as balance goes? Of course, all of this is speculation at this point.
