How did this topic reach Pummel and Crush Res in the first place? Lol

Imho rangers either need a boost to our Skills' Damage or usefulness in others (i.e. conceal, explosive arrow, and defensive spikes). I think auto dmg is OK at end game, yet midgame auto dmg is not as good (which may not be a bad thing if skills weren't broken).

I don't remember exactly where I read a very good addition to Spikes: add group defence bonus, not as strong as reflexes tho. Also (this is my addition), if we get hit by auto, do a good amount of dmg, and if we dodge, don't do dmg. Sounds like a fair trade.

As stated before, take away both distance req and pin effect on longshot. Fair trade imho.

I wish this yule brings some lux that will help us rangers .

Pin effect on longshot is what makes the skill useful. Pinning at the right moment can save a boss from being reset and potentially lost to another clan. Also helps while lvling, gives a few seconds of dps before being hit

Agreed, longshot can be a lifesaver and the pin is the main reason some use it. The minimum distance requirement is annoying but what really annoys me is having a max distance on LONGshot. Like geez I should be able to shoot people if I can click on them, it's not even a long shot.

Agreed with alb on that. The distance req is fine by me, but I think it should be castable from any range- asking as its inside the mobs agro range

Agreed on pinning down a boss if it's in danger of reset, though in that case Grasping Roots and Shield Bash would be better suited as solutions.

Otherwise, if you are talking about endgame bosses, you would probably be haste lixing, and casting longshot would be a waste of time DPS wise due to animation and cast times (and evasion chance, which is ridiculously high). Same goes for haste lixing while levelling.

If max aggro distance does limit max longshot distance there's nothing to do about it.

In case you are not haste lixing while lvling, the only way longshot is really useful is this sequence:
Longshot->Bolas->etc.
Why? The pin effect does 'play' here: the mob is pinned and then bolased.

If you bolas->longshot, pin effect IS NOT displayed and the mob still walks toward you, then when it reaches you, the pin effect is applied and the mob is idle for 2 secs right in front of you. Right in front of you means you can't recast longshot. Also, if Bolas->longshot, it means the cast-animation times for longshot reduced your dps...
Moving around to keep the mob away is dps wasted time, and you really don't want to move too much in a close packed cave with loads of boggans, filborgs or trolls...

So yeah, rangers can solo lvl, solo boss, but it is hard and takes too long for it to be cost effective.

I can keep talking all night long about the cons of this and other ranger skills xd and ranger related problems

Nah.

I see warriors hit 4k pummels on 6*...

I'll just let it simmer in... I bet their clan has 30+ minute kills.

Nah.. And we're the first to kill mordris, necro, and hrung.

Wow you'd expect some brains. All this and you have yet to respec to pummel and hit the boss one time? Pathetic

Nah.. And we're the first to kill mordris, necro, and hrung.

Please dont, you weren't a part of any of these kills, or clans who made the kills at the time.
