It's really funny how everybody thinks that their class is underpowered. I've played all classes (my lowest a lvl 58), and rangers are actually a bit overpowered due to the lux items. Since they have an extra heal they should do a bit less dmg then a mage. However, they do same damage and haste gloves let them shoot 3x when mages casts fireball once. Thanks to bolas, rangers can kill much higher lvls then other classes (except for druids). For example, my ranger at lvl 55-58 could kill Dreamsong wisps.
Bolas doesn't work on the current Stonevale bosses? We use it all the time. It helps a ton with Star, Chill and Falgren.
Its true that rangers rely on bolas (more or less). It comes with the class. If you don't like it, switch classes.
Re: Rangers underpowered or overpowered
#12Actually rogues can kill very easily. Not only is there DPS HIGH but with 15/17 (and yes i do mean 17) on hide and 15/15 on rend and 15/15 on sneaky attack you can solo most mobs (in your level range) with just those 3 skills (NOTE: this is much harder with out rejuv or energy regin necky)LOL
So you put yourself up againts veryone else except a rogue even a dps worrior start on a mob that takes more than one hit to kill say start on crumble horn have a healer there to keep you alive and attack with everything you have with your speed boost new reguve items and haste gloves your dps is outrageous compared to every class except rogues now you tell me how thats underpowered.
Every class feels its underpowered but rangers are the easiest to kill with and easiest to lvl if you have ever played a class other than the popular ranger, worrior, rogue. then you wouldnt have made this thread. Put a ranger in your group that has full pathfinder armor, bloodlust helm, hast gloves, king or warden bow. And they at the end of the fight its the ranger with the kill. Ive played all classes and the most OP in order goes Rogue, Ranger, Worrior, Mage, Druid. Just because you cant solo the new mobs that have ranged skills you feel underpowered. Well good cause now your not a solo class anymore looks like someone finally needs the use of a decent healer, that is if you dont drop the mob before it attacks.

Re: Rangers underpowered or overpowered
#13It honestly depends on what you wanna be. If your trying to be a tank ranger, then your gonna be underpowered. I'm a dps so I think I'm perfectly fine. Got enough life to live regularly(800) and enough to strength to dps during battles(260). So it depends on what you're trying to be.

Re: Rangers underpowered or overpowered
#14Give rangers a new skill to make more or equal damage as sharp shot. Also make bolas kinda like howling wind so it also lowers attack. Then rangers be able to compete with rogues. But long term battle like boss fight i think ranger can still win againsed a rogue.

Re: Rangers underpowered or overpowered
#15yea they can if they put most of there points in to str but rogues sneaky attack can do 750 dmg at level 60 (ik cuz i am a rogue) and the quick strike 500. if u have energy regain you can use quick strike over and over and do HIGH dps.Give rangers a new skill to make more or equal damage as sharp shot. Also make bolas kinda like howling wind so it also lowers attack. Then rangers be able to compete with rogues. But long term battle like boss fight i think ranger can still win againsed a rogue.

Re: Rangers underpowered or overpowered
#17- I'd love to be able to say that Rangers are under powered so the devs feel sorry for us and give us new uber skeelz but alas... I cannot.
Seriously, use everything that is allowable by a ranger, gain levels, obtain better gear and you should be quite happy with what you are able to do.
By the way... a "ranger tank" is a ludicrous concept and if you built one, then you deserve every moment of class envy that befalls you.

#18I would love to see heavier armor for rangers. I would love to become a ranger tanka "ranger tank" is a ludicrous concept and if you built one, then you deserve every moment of class envy that befalls you.

Re: Rangers underpowered or overpowered
#19my level 83 ranger has 415 points in strength. everything else is 0. his sharp shot is about 1100.
my lvl 85 rogue has 380 strength and 55 vitality. his sneak hits about 1500.
However, sneak has slow cool-down time.
anyway like i said, give rangers 1 more skill and upgrade bolas. then we should be good

Re: Rangers underpowered or overpowered
#20Ok so 0 dex has you missing, getting parried, dodged etc... how often..?My level 83 ranger has 415 points in strength. everything else is 0. his sharp shot is about 1100.
I believe I attempted this kind of a build once a long time ago but it seemed as though I missed normal shots so often that the more balanced, although still with heavy stats into strength, approach would equal more total dps in the end, especially on long boss fights.
