i think our heals should be more effective, and give us armour boost

Lol mate, don’t worry about my class as I am sure I am providing relevant feedback. Now on to your question:

My statement is exactly saying rangers are getting their butts wooped because of DPS. Simply put, rangers and rogues past update have been dominating boss kills simple because of auto attacks. Now fair enough, their auto attacks are dependent on skill attacks which enhance their auto attack damage potential. To name a few: Rangers – Steady Aim + Rapid shot, Rogues – Poison Weapon + Smoke bomb. However, this update has strangely enough caused mobs defence to be insanely high. Which results in auto attacks to have a huge potential to be miss most of time. This has been demonstrated by Pigman who has 500 dex+ Full skill smoke bomb and Eli who has 4k attack. It’s because of this main reason I feel is causing rangers and rogues losing their boss kills. This is what I meant by even if Rapid shot is fixed, the core problem being high defence would still not help rangers in getting better dps as you are missing heaps with auto attack.

Now, you said the defence rating on bosses help (A.L.L) classes and my argument supports my problem more than yours. I am obviously a caster where a good majority of my damage is via skills. Whether or not the mobs have high defence or low defence will not impact me casters at all. Evasion yes but not Defence. So please explain to me how exactly did my statement of high defence will benefit the casters, supporting us more than the melee classes? I mentioned the high defence and nothing about attacks specifically as I was highlighting the auto damage problem experienced in great grief by rangers and rogues atm.

I also agree with ranger skills being broken. But however, it brings us to a deeper (tho common knowledge) problem. If ranger dps skills are fixed and have great potential in being a power house (Long shot, Barb shot, Sharp shot for example), I am sure the relative energy cost will go up exponentially too. What then from now? Will rangers be required to invest in focus as well? Being *forced* to invest in all 4 stats while casters can survive on 2 stats? Simply put, Rangers need high str for auto dmg, high dex for skills and some vit for survival. Surely rangers are not required to invest in focus as well once skills are fixed?

This is not right obviously and it provides a potential opportunity for OTM to look deeper into class rebalance.

Lastly, I don’t think I was wrong about asking you to be more specific about which skills you were referring to as nerfed. While the nerfed skills you have mentioned may or may not have already been mentioned on other posts, there could always be new readers who may have missed the other posts on the nerfed skills. Hence it is important to be specific about what skills you are referring to as being nerfed. I fully support rangers getting a boost but it is always better to be specific as it reinforces what areas / skills that are broken, rather than just saying a general statement of ranger skills being broken.
