Mages should still have more dmg than rogue
Also what range? Except for aoe ofc. Im talking about hitting a kp mob and get like 2 hits then its attacking u .what is the point?
Just watch mclovin or baronian solo chained king with bolas.
Obviously you don't know how to use bolas, I have never heard about these guy's but I assume they know how to use bolas so ya, watch the video.
Ranger's have one of the most practical roles in the game, the only thing, it's not a group role, ranger's are the best solo class in the game. They have an extremely unique debuff skill that just needs to be fixed (entangle). Also I'm pretty sure rangers are also the only other class besides warriors that can consistently hold aggro against full dps rogues and mages. (If I'm correct bolas forces the mob to target the person who cast it and bolas runs out on the mob after it's ready to re-cast so you could hold aggro the whole fight)
I'm perfectly happy with the ranger class right now, I use double for extra dmg and just have buffs, heals and debuff's to fill up the rest of skill slots, I think theirs a lot of secondary roles for rangers if someone made a tank spear ranger guide and a support spear ranger guide maybe people would see how versatile ranger's can be.
Everybody says that the ranger class is broken because of it's lack of instant dmg skills and dps but when I played rogue I used to think, use the highest number of hight instant damaging skills, but that just didn't satisfy me, sneaky reloaded to slow, double didn't do enough dmg and took to long to cast ( with daggers that take under 2.5 seconds for auto it almost did the same dmg as auto because auto was fast) Now I have a fast dagger build doing good amounts of dmg every hit and hitting every second or so only using SS and Quick Strike for instant dmg skills.
Every one seems to complain about rangers not having as good dps as rogue's, but thats the way it is and should be, rangers have just as good armor and are ranged so they cant have all advantages rangers have range, rogues have dps.
Rangers are best solo class, better tanks than rogue's (If I'm not mistaken about bolas) are ranged and very good support. Just because their not the best dps doesn't mean their broken and if you want instant dmg skills and hight dps you can play rogue, warrior or mage. People need to get the idea that every class has a specific role out of their heads. Rogues will have best dps, and druids will always have the best heal, warriors best tank and Mages best support dps. Every class can have many roles and people need to stop thinking the opposite. Ranger class will alway's be best solo class and people like me who like it the way it is will keep playing ranger and other people will quit. I personally don't understand why people think ranger skills are broken, yes rangers main stat is str and skills dex ( maybe that could be changed) but the skills that are ''broken'' our instant dmg witch I'm fine withought.
