Celtic Heroes

I have played rogue and ranger and druid to mid game, as well as a worrior to endgame.

Ranger is the funest class to 90ish by far although rogue is also fun due to the fast kills. After this ranger game play drops off and you become almost reliant on autos and buffs where rogue just seems to get stronger.

I'm told Rangers get better with dl and end game gear and I hope it's true but for me otm broke Rangers in ow and have never fixed them. Just mho.

They get slightly better but its the same thing, autoing and more autoing. This class is basically made for dual devicers. While dex builds are still broken.

QFT.

I used barbed when training (50/40) with a dex build until I decided to test how much damage it was really doing. I cast barbed on a mob and watched it tick the mob down to 80% max health in the 25 second duration and dropped it after that...

Barbed shot has lower damage than rend, long cast time, and killer energy cost.. Even with a high dex build it's not worth using imo

So you're angry a skill sucks when you don't put points in the required stat? My pummel does nearly 3k extra damage with full strength compared to 300.

Did I quote you? Nope.

U prolly should have fully understood the post u quoted then. He said he didnt use barbed in his str build due to how sucky of a skill it was. Meaning He did use it before on a dex build. Yaknub just stap arguing with us rangers u lost a long time back.____________.

I was only trying to help you read yakat, sometimes the incompetent need a little guidance

yak is just being silly. pum has nothing to do with barbed and he is missing the point. Pum is a str based skill. So yes, you can make it do massive dmg in a str build, like any str skill. Thats actually my whole point...rangers are FORCED to make a strength build to be effective but have NO strength skills.

and I totally get the point people make about getting other devices and leaving ranger on auto...since skills suck anyway. This is basically what I do every necro fight...and actually got a kill in there since it can stand and bomb away...chip away actually... at this point I've just taken most of the non auto gear off him and given up trying to do anything with a dex build. The skills all suck, for various reasons, and there is no strength skill (since double is a waste on hasted autos) so screw it.

The skill mix is FUBAR. Thats how it is. War skills rely on two stats: Str and Vit, easy builds. Casters rely on Focus so putting points in focus helps all your skills. Rogues can choose either and run really well in a mixed build. Rangers...pfft... the only good thing that has happened to rangers and the only reason they work at all on high levels is having a gran set so that you can actually have 400 or so dex and 1k str...or reverse it. without a set its impossible to have good autos and use skills.

really the toon stopped being fun to play after the last 'Nerf'. Before this it was annoying that there were no strength skills and that autos were low...however, having light heal and having it be difficult to interrupt made a dex build playable. you could max dex and stand up to a boss and even 'tank' it to some extent by having a druid there and using LH. You could also pvp prior to the nerf in dex build. Now you just die and there isn't even a point because it's no contest.

Who said warriors secondary role was dps in ch? That's up to otm to decide

yakat did. yakat lives in a world where his word is absolute and he speaks for OTM, thus, everything yakat says is correct, and if he says that rogues are at the top since its a universal role, although hes wrong, hes correct.

all bow down to yakat our noob god who hasn't played a ranger yet argue's They are perfect. *bows*

Finally read through this entire post, only thing i saw was this^...not sure if that was clever ranger pun or...

Ouch, all I can think of now is 'get rekt m8', but i would prefer to not get to these words which might lead this topic to get unlocked for a stupid reason, although my comment isnt the best either

Everybody says to increase rogue survivability by losing dps and using survivability skills. Same thing goes for rangers you can afford to lower your autos a bit and make it so tor skills work, you just choose not too.
