Rangers: The next big class?

I've seen the beta pictures on facebook and the new bosses are melee. Elim had the firbolg chieftain bolased and he is not taking any damage. Maybe the ranger will become a very important "tank" for groups with bolas when fighting new bosses?

Nice move to do with killing Shiverscowl and Blade queen.

And just to be clear. Bolas doesn't stop bosses from casting spells on anyone. Take ironspike for example now. You can bolas him to your hearts content he will still cast spell after spell on you. The only thing bolas stops is auto attacks. If someone is a dex build you don't really need bolas because you will have enough defense to dodge most, if not all, auto attacks. And that yall is 100% of the time with no energy needed. :P Why do you think I am dex built? :lol: So anyway, it wont really affect the game that much, especially as we have this kind of thing already. Now if rangers actually started to have a lot more vit and dex maybe it would have drastic effect. But as things are now, it will remain the same.

Uhhh...no?

I can solo shiver he shoots spells? The wolf doesn't shot spells. DR does not shoot spells? When bolased? Many others that I wont take my time to name do not shoot spells when bolased?

O.o

Ummmm... Okay so how is it that my ranger gets smacked with spells when hes technically out of range (literally just within bow range...) on well... every boss? All those you named do indeed shoot spells at me. Mages need to be relatively close to fire spells but bosses just don't have that limitation. Either that or something like a bug? It might explain why I cant hit a thing with auto attack unless I have a good amount of dex... please tell me your idevice is jailbroken? :)

Also I used to watch for instance Pentejo solo (or try anyway, though normally she won) ironspike. He blasted spells all the time. And her health went down as a result. So I am not sure what your talking about... And shiv always shoots spells. Its a reason I can barely solo his minions. Plus there isn't any room to maneuver in shivs room, unless you count the corners.

You must be a failure then? Not jailbroken I am not stupid enough to do that. Go in green circle, bolas, keep in green circle and they do not cast spells or physical attacks.

You just be a exploiter then? In my book exploiting is just as bad as deleting collision files.

Ummm... No I am not... unless your calling everyone who has ever had bolas working on a boss in their group a failure...

Glad to hear your not a jailbreaker.

I don't know exactly what you mean by green circle but I can guess based on my own experiences when a h2h fighter takes agro from me and other long range dpsers.

That's not how your supposed to play zee game. but ofc it works. Might be interesting. Maybe next time I solo (or try to hehe) a boss... Yeah no thanks. Its not the way I fight. I would rather tank than bolas.

Using that exploit is cheating .
