This is exactly my point through the whole thing. A lot of people are exaggerating how far behind rangers are. Looking at september parse data(before Rok) and recent data(after rok) that we collect I see everyone pretty much moved up accordingly and things look pretty much the same in the group perspective. Some little shifts here and there due to new skills but largely the same. So since you are up there with mechanics working against you to fix those so they are right would just put you in a league of your own. Thats not a real fix for the problem and this is what we were seeing with the RSB/Tenderwood combo. So since a lot of the classes are close, I would prefer to take incremental approaches trying to smooth things out. As a scout class part of the design is to focus more on the CA damage while a fighter will focus more on auto attack damage. So from my perspective I am trying to close the small gap with some small CA changes while leaving auto attack largely the same as it is today with level 80 bows.
