Is there any chance of getting something that rangers could equip in their primary / secondary slot items that would benefit them while they are in ranged combat? The MC symbols and such that jewelers make have a constant + % crit and + spell / heal on them, something similar in a weapon (or even a shield) with + ranged crit and + CA damage would be nice. There is a nice shield that drops in JW with good ranger effects on it - something with about of those effect would be nice on a MC item and would still fit in with the idea that there is better in the game to get upgraded to.
Itemization in our game is a continually evolving beast and I'm sure that if it seems there is a need for particular item types, then it can be looked at. Whether they would belong in the realm of crafted/mastercrafted equipment or quested/loot drops is another question as well. Most likely a fundamental change to what certain classes would want to equip is something that Fyreflyte and Archonix would decide, and then where such a thing comes from would be up for internal discussion as appropriate. Strong opinions and suggestions along the lines of new equipment is probably best put in the items and equipment forum, I know Fyreflyte reads that faithfully.
It is, however, definitely beyond the scope of the current crafted weapon itemization, since my deadline to get this done is Wednesday!
And yes (to the earlier post) this has been submitted for GU45, the items and recipes are currently being poked at by QA and should move to Test with the next time it is updated. I'm just finishing off the writs today, and trying to track down any quests that may involve crafted weapons and might break (e.g. the tradeskill tutorial, the swords quest in Steppes, the deputy's quest in Enchanted Lands).
