Celtic Heroes

I am a ranger and i agree we need a buff but the thing is they actually reduced the amount of energy on some of our skills

I gotta say im shocked to hear you guys have energy issues. maybe its just me but I never have had energy issues since update. I use full frozen right now with the 300+ energy and I have 1k energy in total now. I have steady aim and light heal maxed. rapid 22/35, bolas close to maxed. I have aggy brace that adds bolas and LH. I have long at 24/35 and sharpen at 25/35.

I keep sharpen and steady aim on at all times. I use bolas at least once or twice during fights when I solo. I also use 2 longshots and I use double shot on lvl 1 a few times as well as rapid once. and lightheal if needed. i seem to never run below full on energy. I also have new ammy and quiver so 65 regan. maybe its that but yeah no energy issues what so ever.

I believe that our nerfs were because of complaining from other classes that we were too OP. But not we're the excact opposite! Higher energy costs, Rapid shot cooldown sucks now, and our other DPS skills were nerfed horribly! OTM was way off IMO (No Offense). And now, We're the ones complaining. And thats for a good reason. Half of the ranger posts are about this nerf. Thats insane! We need Rapid shot back, Our energy back, and we need our fun and DPS back! It's definitly not the same as update 3, when rangers were actually happy. But now we're complaining even more than mages! :O I think we need our fun back! Whos with Me!!!!!!

I agree with you. Unless you play a ranger as your main from the level 1 one to what ever level. Other players that say rangers are fine have no idea what we mean. I dont feel that any class has changed as drastictly as rangers have for the worse. In such a short time. I know rogues are a lot more happy with the class changes the have had. I know mages have changed for the better.(i know they aren't as powerful as the were right after the update but they are still beast). Druids got imo got very nice and needed boost to damage. Yeah energy still suck but it can be managed. Really cant talk for warriors.
I liked before the update how i Could change builds. Go from a good support class or to a nice dps class. What ever the grouped need. Rangers was the ultimate class filler. It made a us unique.
Now we are nothing more then then the old man talking to the young boy/girl about the good ole days and how things use to work and how good those days were. Me being the old man now i would like to tell you young ranger and those thinking about joing the club of rangers stop leveling your ranger and make a druid.
You might night have bolas but you can cast roots and heal. Druids are the new rangers. They can go from the best support clas to great dps class. They take a little more work to level but you will be invited to more bosses and have a better chance to get into top clans.

me a level 126 ranger been here for ALMOST a year (3-4 months left) and ive never bought plat...have 50 focus set and a FEW energy regens and im doin good with the energy atm BUT my dps is sooooo bad now due to the rapid cooldown...if anything needs to change i'd say its the cooldowns...i wasnt able to level completely like i used to bfore update...and one question...should i change to dex build again if i have a total of +35 energy regen and +15 hp regen??? (fire quiv.. silver ammy.. invigo brac)

guys guys. y r u saying +1 to his post??? u say........












say.....+infinity we r broken and nerfed idk y mages r complaining at least be happy u guys r op and can kill anything

It's hard to take you seriously when you write like that ninja

While I totally sympathize with rangers getting their butt kicked with this update, some of your comments are not very true:

1) I seldom come across posts that actually called rangers as OP. Majority is usually mages versus rogues. Rangers very seldom get slashed as a target board.
2) How exactly are your dps skills nerfed? All damage skills have been boosted considerably for all classes for this update. Please be specific and dont confuse listed damage and actual damage.

What needs to happen is for OTM to fix the defence rating on bosses. It is insane, *******, unrealistic and unfair for melee classes to miss 60%-70% even with 4k attack rating. This should be top priority as even if rapid shot is fixed, doesn't mean jack **** even if yr shooting 100 arrows per sec if yr missing that much.

It's hard to take your post seriously because your a druid. But in all seriousness, you are just saying that rangers didn't get their butts wooped because of DPS. Because of Reason #2. The defence rating on bosses would help all classes as well. Your argument only supports your problems more than our problems. That we care ALOT about. Rapid shot has a terrible cooldown, Light heal may have gotten a little boost, but now it is much easier to be interupted. You do not have very much experience with rangers I believe. So next time, could you be a little supportive of my post?

Thanks.

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.

i totally i have a theory tho that our damage was nerfed because of sharpen weapons, remove the damn skill lol:) i think our heals should be more effective, and give us armour boost, we need rapid shot back the cooldown sucks rotten eggs, they should give us an effective boost and not just a weak one. I go strength the damage is nerfed, i go dex the skills are nerfed there isnt a way round it

+1

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

our heals ARE more effective but its more inturreptable now. It was perfect in v3. i dont know about armor. if all other things fixed i dont think armor will matter and armor is pretty good now

we need rapid shot back the cooldown sucks rotten eggs, they should give us an effective boost and not just a weak one. I go strength the damage is nerfed, i go dex the skills are nerfed there isnt a way round it

+1 to all. I had a str build in v3 but when v4 came out i was doing very low dmg so i decided to try dex build but the skills were nerfed so i changed back to str build now and i still do very bad dmg.
