Rangers " Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows." this is to honor that and also help the class in general. "
Longbow
Long Range Shot
Now it has a chain with second attack giving cripple(3s), and a super fast third double shot (each hit 70% dmg of a normal hit), along with faster projectiles and lower cooldown between shots.
Rapid Fire
Lower cast time(2 1/2sec max), now grants stability during the cast, more condensed hits, 5 instead of 10, higher total damage (each hit atleast higher than max ranged auto attack) and higher cooldown, to like 45seconds untraited, it needs to feels like a powerfull bursty skill, not a “I’m bored of my auto attack, let’s use 2”.
Hunter’s Shot
Now pierce targets blocking and gives you 1sec quickness in addition to it’s current effects.
Point Blank Shot
This one should have like twice it’s current damage, faster projectile, a higher cooldown (25 sec) and 1 or 1 1/2 sec cast time instead of instant, in adition to the knockback. You could combo hunter’s shot/point blank/rapidfire efficiently.
Barrage
2 1/2 sec immobilize on first hit (the same duration as the cast, as this skill is supposed to keep people from reaching you, not the opposite like it is now), lower cooldown (20, 25sec).
Pets
When in combat, pets should have higher speed than players, even without any trait put in it vs a player with swiftness. Often I find myself hitting someone with a full rotation before my pet even reached them.
So my suggestion is to change the untraited pet speed up to 40/50% more than what it is now and give another functionality to the Agility Training 30% speed trait : When you enter in combat your pet gains super speed, (100% speed, lasts until hits the target). Sick Them would have this super speed added to it’s effects too, so you could catch faster a player that uses a movement skill during combat.
Increase overall range of melee pets attacks by atleast 100-170 so they could hit targets from 230-300 range (like birds auto attack Slash).
Improve reliability of pet skills, leaps and everything in general seems too easily avoidable.
Bears
Increase their overall damage considerably. Reduce Arctodus, Murrelow, Polar Bear and Black Bear f2 cast time to 3/4 sec down from 1 1/2. Increase the number of conditions removed from Brown Bear f2 to 3.
Cats
Reduce Jungle Stalker f2 to 1 1/2 sec cast time down from 3 sec.
Reduce Snow Leopard and Lynx f2 cast time to 3/4 sec down from 1 1/2sec.
Birds
Remove the Quickening Screech swiftness from birds and change it to fury (10s), reduce it’s cast time to 1/4 sec down from 3/4 sec (reason for this is they often start this animation instead of attacking your target as you expect and get left behind you if you leep at your target or just keep moving) .
Devourers
They need faster projectiles, and better active skills, just like underwater, Whiptail Devourer f2 should stun (1s), Lashtail Devourer f2 should have half (2s down from 4s) it’s cast time, and no bleeding.
Spiders
Also faster projectiles, much higher damage and lower duration for the immobilize on Entangling Web something like 1 1/2 sec down from 3 sec.
Moas
They need higher toughness and better range, specially for Frenzied Attack as they often miss this skill.
Drakes
Tail Swipe could use an aoe knockback, just like the npc ones do. Also lower cast times for their f2 abilities (3/4 sec down from 1 1/2 sec for the melee ones (burning, chill and confusion) and 1sec for ranged ones).
Dogs
Need higher damage overall.
Pigs
Their f2 Forage should apply the random booms automatically to you.
Beastmastery Traits
Move Loud Whistle to adept and Nature’s Wrath to master traits.
Rework the Instinctual Bond quickness on downed adept beastmaster trait, move it to grandmaster and change functionality to: Boons applied to your pet also affect you, then you will have might on third sword skill 1 auto attack, might from Companion’s Might, swiftness from 3 longbow, bleeds on next 3 attacks from shortbow 4, fury from harpoon gun 3, and Active effects from signets without traiting into Marksmanship.
Change the effect of Intimidation Traning from Cripple to Torment.
Utilities
Lightning Reflexes Now removes immobilize.
Signet of the Wild now instant cast.
Signet of Renewal Cd reduced to 30 sec, range from pet increased to 2000, so it doesn’t fail to activate it’s effects.
Protect Me Your pets gains an aura and run at your side, instead of just stopping.
