Re: Ranger love?
Back to the original complaint about a crappy CA at lvl 80. I personally would agree/disagree.
On the fact they need to separate PvE and PvP influences...I completely agree. Why is 85% of the Ranger population penalized b/c some bozo on a PvP server is killing the avg Joe with two shots? Fact is, our bow does great Auto-Attack dmg and we're a superb class for PvP. But the majority of Rangers played are not on a PvP server for the fact that they just don't want to PvP.
When we are stacked up against the other DPS scout classes i would say we are anywhere from 3-6th in parsing depending on playing style. U match us up against our original "evil" counter part and the Assassin owns us straight up, just standing in one spot.
Look at our previous CA upgrades compared to our new RoK upgrades. Im sure all of us were eagerly waiting SS upgrade since it hasn't been upgraded since DoF and the addition of coverage puts in a different mix of an additional dmg CA.
Now directly comparing Rangers v Assassins on a PvE only lvl. B/c obviously PvP Rangers would own just about everyone. Our Sniper Arrow base max dmg is around 14.5k... Assassin's Execute 18k+...not to add that the Assassin has 3-4 CA's that can hit for/crit for 15k+. All of us rangers know we have 1 MAYBE two if we're lucky to hit for over 15k. Oh....comparing casting times on those two; Ranger-Sniper Arrow 2.2 secs and Execute 0.37 secs.... i'll let u do the math on that.
This post could go anywhere but since i've been saving up a rant and i just saw the complaint about the 80's CA upgrade i thought i would lay it all out. Basically, PvE is penalized b/c PvP'r rangers are over powered. Nerf the PvP ranger and cut back some of the changes made in PvE servers. Anything, T8 ammo, casting times, dmg. They want balanced classes...they have anything but that right now.
...if the PvP has nothing to do with PvE changes...then why are the PvP servers more balanced than the PvE servers?...
