Droping defense
#55351 - 04/20/08 05:16 PM

I do see all the well needed ranger class help we are about to get. However, I am concerned about what I think to be the most important thing for a ranger is not addressed, droping defense with out getting killed. I Don't know for sure I think we maybe able to get in and out with the slow if we fill our whole skill bar full of skills to be able to get in there and out with out getting stunned. We don't have the attack rate to deal with this we have to use blight! I personaly think rangers need a mad melee mastery type skill (range crack) to be able to just be able to do the same thing a fighter does and raise up or down attack rating as needed. The other concern for a ranger is we really need stats in all base areas no other class needs to do that more. We either have to just not do that and suffer or we then become the victim of not enough endurance or agility. I hope the new skills will help with these concerns but if not we will be stuck having to wait for another patch. My last two little things are the bank space even with the added new pages its short to me I think we actually need 1-2 more then what the patch will give. Old school players may have had to not keep things from lack of bank space how do they get those old items if they never drop again.I am concern that the old school players droped all them bomb items in a moment of stupidity or even not just having the space. Once you do a dumb thing its over no forward slash k I'm an idiot give me that back! The new players that had more bank space had way more chance to bank cool items the only reason they can even step into the pvp world and disrespect all the lvl 100 that needs to stop.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean that Rangers are more vulnerable than Fighters, well, Mages are more so. I don't think that is a problem, Rangers aren't meant to be more durable than Fighters.

I Don't know for sure I think we maybe able to get in and out with the slow if we fill our whole skill bar full of skills to be able to get in there and out with out getting stunned.

So you mean that you need to get into combat and be able to get out without getting killed because of slows and stuns, and therefore you need to fill up your skillbar with anti-slow and anti-stun spells... I'm not too sure what you mean here either. That applies to every class, not just Rangers.

We don't have the attack rate to deal with this we have to use blight! I personaly think rangers need a mad melee mastery type skill (range crack) to be able to just be able to do the same thing a fighter does and raise up or down attack rating as needed.

That's strange. I always assumed that Rangers have more accuracy, ie. Attack Rating than Fighters do, because their accuracy and damage are based on the same skill: Agility. I don't see the problem here: Fighters have Mad Melee Mastery and such to compensate for the fact that they can't invest in Agility as much as Rangers can. While Agility covers damage and accuracy for Rangers, it covers only accuracy for Fighters and they need Strength for damage.

The other concern for a ranger is we really need stats in all base areas no other class needs to do that more. We either have to just not do that and suffer or we then become the victim of not enough endurance or agility. I hope the new skills will help with these concerns but if not we will be stuck having to wait for another patch.

That's not true. Rangers do not need to spread their stats more than all other classes. Let's see, Rangers need Agility, Endurance, and maybe Intellect should you need more mana or wish to invest in Poison Skills. You need no Strength at all, unless you want those extra defense ratings (which is negligible). On the other hand, Fighters need Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Intellect for mana. If you ask me, Fighters are the ones that have to spread over all the base attributes, so I don't get why you're complaining about that for Rangers.

My last two little things are the bank space even with the added new pages its short to me I think we actually need 1-2 more then what the patch will give. Old school players may have had to not keep things from lack of bank space how do they get those old items if they never drop again.I am concern that the old school players droped all them bomb items in a moment of stupidity or even not just having the space. Once you do a dumb thing its over no forward slash k I'm an idiot give me that back! The new players that had more bank space had way more chance to bank cool items the only reason they can even step into the pvp world and disrespect all the lvl 100 that needs to stop.

I don't get this part at all. I think I might know what you're trying to say, but to me it's still doesn't follow logically. Please explain clearly about this part.

Considering that PvP is 85% equipment, how many wins you get as a Ranger does not necessarily equate to how much you know about the Class: though obviously, having played Ranger for so long and so successfully, you would know how the class works in general. However, I must agree with Ripper: most of the issues you raised don't exist.

To DankORiley

My ranger does just fine as is, no problems what so ever, i can cream just about anyone on pvp(not so much now since i leveled her out of my pvp gear range and the ones i dont cream are always very close going either way). I can solo embercore path on normal without using any pots, and i'll use maybe 1 or 2 per instance on formidable without chill bill. As long as i keep bill buffed up i dont use potions there. Abby is another story but everyone that has fought him knows that.

If you really think you need what you've suggested you need as a ranger it could only be because you suck as a ranger(idk i've never fought you 1 on 1, someone else is always there). Or you're so obsessed with pvp that you can't take a loss and have to dominate, in that case(even though you wouldn't admit it and have to rationalize some other way or just dismiss it, whatever) you need to seriously rethink your life in general. Come on man its just a game don't take it so seriously.

As for bank space, are you freakin kidding me, you're not satisfied with having 5 pages coming next patch, whats that about. Once that hits you will almost be able to have 1 of every rb in your inventory, and not even us as pvpers need that ever. I've got stuff i almost never use and have gotten rid of stuff it turned out i didn't need because something else was better suited to my build and play style. So no you don't need 6 or 7 bank pages, ever, never going to need that for real.

JF - what exactly do you agree with? He doesn't have any valid points, which is why I--somebody who's been playing a ranger for well over a year and has survived at least two major balance changes to the class--said he had no idea what he was talking about.

  • There aren't any "well needed" changes to the ranger class - the ranger class is very, very powerful. There are things we'd "like", such as bow attacks for an element other than poison and we're getting one very soon
  • What does "dropping defense without getting killed" even mean? Rangers are meant to be a high dps, low-to-medium defense class. Regardless, I tank pretty darn well with over 21k HP and over 370 melee reflection. Not bad for a class that cant drop defense without getting killed...
  • We don't need to fill our skill bar more than any other class would, especially in regards to slow debuffs.
  • Don't have the attack rate? WHAT? Rangers typically have both the fastest Attack Rate (speed) and highest Attack Rating (accuracy), which makes us the masters of single target DPS
  • Because rangers typically have very, very high agi, we rarely need to use Acidic Blight. I only ever use it in boss fights. We definitely don't need a ranger version of mad melee mastery.
  • Rangers don't need stats in all areas. Rangers need, primarily END and AGI. If one chooses to be a poison ranger, then one chooses to offset agi-based damage with INT-based damage. That being said, in the past, I've suggested that ranger skills should be based on AGI, not AGI and INT (AGI to hit, INT for the elemental damage buff). Regardless, there's a ton of +poison dps gear out there that a ranger could equip if he or she wanted to focus on poison damage
  • MORE than five bank pages? Seriously? That's just greedy...


As a very experienced long-time player, there's not a bit of the OP's gibberish that I agree with.

Wreker, perhaps you could color in your comments in a different colour? It's hard to tell which parts are yours and which parts are Ripper's without actively sifting through that post. Regardless, I don't see a problem with Rangers, they seem fine to me. At the moment, it seems like the three archtypes are pretty balanced in PvP.

Wreker - are you posting under two different accounts now?

1) Nobody cares about your PVP reputation and, since the original post never mentioned PVP AND this isn't the PVP forum, it's irrelevant to the main post.

2) This was posted in a USER forum. If it's only intended for devs, then send a PM. Posting in a public user forum means that the post is open to criticism and feedback.

3) In regards to the bank space issue:

Quote:

My last two little things are the bank space even with the added new pages its short to me I think we actually need 1-2 more then what the patch will give.




Since members already have three pages and the patch will give up to two more pages (3+2=5, btw), then the OP (or you under another name) did ask for more bank pages.

Ripper brings very valid points from a very experienced point of view. He is speaking for the PVE perspective ... which as this is not posted in the PVP forum seems very appropriate.

There are ranger builds out there that can easily take abby in under 30 seconds. Not sure they really need any help there. 1H ranged weapons have been tested and need major rebalancing. They will come but give it time. I dont generally run rangers I will admit, but have run with many that do and they never seem to have any problems either solo or grouped in PVE.

No it was that you gave an open approval of a post. I agree that rangers need some loving when it comes to new weapons. Would help the perception that the only drops people get are ranger weapons too. But you have also been around long enough to know that 1H weapons have been discussed constantly for close to 9 months ... and to know the status of them Did not mean to sound like I was jumping down your throat.

The whole concept is being researched as we speak I'm sure. The thing is I just made a mistake posting here now that its here though and under attack time to say some more. I understand you think we don't need a blight shot my question is to anyone who questions this.. Have you pvp against 5 players all 100 or top pvp twinks who all are stunning you and fearing I have (still won). Don't hate on something you don't get cause the devs and top players who actually want this pvp issue balanced,not people who just want their class good. I have a lvl 50ish mage and fighter I want balance thats it. I have mages and fighters in my crew so why would I want to not have them at top abilities as well? I have been here through every patch always as a ranger except when my computer broke for about a week recently. I am the only pvp ranger to have lived through every patch and have over 3400 wins . I tryed a whole bunch of builds available to ranger. One time I respected like 10-15 times in a row trying to see if there was an alternative. Until you steped into a pvp arena as long as we have in this game and against the magnitude of talent then you are being IGNORANT (that means unlearned stupid). Don't be troll foruming me when I just made a mistake posting here the devs heared what I had to say and say there is something in what I say to look into. SO YOU ARE SERVED. Abby can be farmed with a a certain pve builds pretty good I think. How ever if you think a blight shot won't help well I shake my head and laugh. You are intilited to have your opinion but don't act like you know me and call me greedy and stupid just cause you don't get something or haven't experienced something to the fullest extent. Dank O riley - SAIVOR of the FIGHTING CLASS thats right the reflection being changed DANK O RILEY relected a guy killing him 6 times with out even touching him!!!!! The reason fear shot got ultered ask STEVEN how it felt to be feared for ever! Surviver of all patches all troll forums 3475 pvp wins key role player responsable for reflection being changed fear being changed. by the way I can get 10,000 k hit points as a ranger/tank if needed so dude with 20 k hhhhmmm well thats why you pve and I pvp. MAYBE I SHOULD STICK TO POSTING IN THE RIGHT AREA AND PVPN AND YOU SHOULD STICK TO ABBY!

Dank, I pvp'ed with/against you some (as Nebrius) and I can attest to your skill and knowledge there.

To be honest, I had no idea you were talking about a blight shot, which I think is a good idea, in your original post. Grammar and diction may not be important to you, but they do make it easier for readers to decipher what you're trying to say.

I can understand that you feel "under attack" by some of the responses you got, but your pvp reputation doesn't automatically grant you a reputation on the forums. Many of the regular posters spend a considerable amount of time rehashing the same issues over and over. That alone can lead to short-tempered responses. That, plus the pve/pvp mix-up and the fact that your points weren't exactly clear (no offense intended), is, I think, the main reason for the direction the thread has taken.

thanks for your response and your politness. I can understand that and my grammer and diction was questionable. Even in life out side of gaming I bump heads with grammer type people so I can understand that. What I DO have a problem is with people thinking that needing to earn respect means they are intilted to be disrespsctable that don't fly thats why I may seem a bit bent at the response. The minute someone starts calling me greedy and stupid and stuff in that manner they don't deserve the chance to earn my respect poeple who are polite like you get my respect and my attention. Thank you for trying to see through my bad grammer and diction and giving my post a chance to have a message despite this.

Dank is speaking from a very experienced point of view also. I do agree that most of his concerns are pvp based so maybe the pvp forum would be more appropriate but its doesn't in any way lessen the value of what he is saying.

Just so you know also...the pvp'rs as a general rule are way more knowledgeable about game mechanics etc than the pve players. Disagree? Ask Stephen

Dank, thanks for replying and confirming that you're primarily concerned about PVP. Based on your initial post, I had no idea that you were concerned about PVP and assumed that you were just another new player who didn't really know the class.

That was definitely my fault. While I have PVPed under a couple of different characters and have enjoyed it, PVP isn't really my focus or forte. As such, all of my comments pertain to the PVE game.

Sorry for the confusion and glad we could clear it up.

I knew that Dank was referring to PvP from the start, so I made my arguments with PvP in mind. I wasn't aware you were speaking of a Blight Shot, I suppose it is a good idea: makes sense for Rangers to have a ranged defense debuff curse. However, I don't think that Rangers need to be empowered to achieve balance in PvP... they seem fine to me. Of course, I can only say this from the perspective of a mediocre Mage challenger, so I'm not the best judge on this.

I admit that the majority of people including me automatically form prejudices when we see bad grammar and spelling, but there is a reason for that: bad grammar and spelling is harder to read. Paragraphing at least is a good idea, it makes it so much easier on the eyes. If I have to squint to decipher posts, I get a bit cranky.

If I came off harsh ... hell no scratch that ... I know I came off harsh. If I had known you were asking for a ranged blight shot, debuff, I would have agreed with you. Thats was lost in translation somewhere. Rereading your post I can see where you were referring to that ... your line about lowering defense without getting killed. For that I would agree.

Still have to ask though, how does a ranger need points in all attributes? I dont see the use of Str for a ranger, you dont get enough of a boost in defense to make it worthwhile.

Still dont agree that you need more bank space. But then if you read my other posts you will see that I think it is ridiculous that they are giving 5 bank pages in the next patch. Might as well just allow people to pick from a catalog after the rainbow has dropped for them.

Your "I kick [censored], respect me now" demeanor doesn't float well for most of the regulars on the forum. Im sure you could care less about that but definately one of the reasons you received the responses you did. Your prowess unfortunately garners little respect in a game that PVP players is still in the minority.

I was saying a blight shot or away to increase chance of hiting a high end. def. PVP. fighter.

In pvp there are times where you have to have the ability to go high def as a ranger or you will get slayed. Again to the 5 vs 1 matches..I had to use that build and one other build I am not gonna discuss to win.

Its okay for someone to not agree as long as they are polite. 1-2 more pages and you will never hear anyone ask for more ever!!! Why give people a reason to complain and be unhappy. I think the 2 pages we are getting are enough but I DON"T EVER want to want more pages again SOLVE the issue and never look back.I don't ever want to hear someone complain about that one again and with 1-2 more than they offered will make that happen.

"I didn't say I kick censored respect me now" so why did I get the response I got? About the response the problem was I just posted it in the wrong area and I spell bad and structured my words wrong.

He didn't say you said it verbatim, he didn't say you said it at all. What he was referring to was your DEMEANOR, the way you act and react to others and their responses.
This isn't a flame fest, but some are just frustrated because some of the subject matter has been discussed into the dirt.

As for the blight shot, i wholeheartedly agree, its bad enough trying to fight a group having low defense as a ranger, but having to run into the middle of it to get blight off so you can do a decent amount of damage so you might be able to get a kill in. So a blight shot would reduce the need to run in headlong and risk all sorts of speed debuffs, and fear is certain death for a ranger, depending on the level and who's shooting you.

But no one could tell you said anything about that in the original post because your grammar and punctuation is horrible. And even though you acknowledged the fact that it was poor, you didn't even make an attempt to right the issue. No one is going to take you seriously if all we get from you looks like gibberish.

Grammar, and most definitely punctuation are so vital when conversing in written form, at least adding a period and forming paragraphs make a huge difference in readability. Adding other appropriate punctuation marks makes it understandable. One sentence with a comma, and the same without can mean two completely different things.

I'm not trying to flame you, just asking for you to help us to help you, and understand your concerns.


Note how a separated different points into separate paragraphs, so much easier to read.


Edit: Ok so you did start to use paragraphs <gives thumbs up>

Dank, you should check out idearunners.com (the new DR suggestion site). I took the liberty of presenting your blight shot idea, so be sure to put your vote in.

Range of Acidic Blight has been doubled. Not exactly what you asked, and a "blight shot" is definitely still an open option, but regardless.

That still doesnt get you out of the range of a roller which means you still need 4 slots to do what they could put on one existing or multiple existing shots.

Didn't say it solves the problem, hence why I said a Blight Shot is still an open option.

Then whats your point cas my point here is to get the blight in an arrow and you putting that they increased the range of blight does nothing but give false hope and make people think it possably fixed when its not.

The point is is we don't want to run anywhere near a fighter to drop blight if we are ranger.The point is we have to use 3-4 slots in are skill bar to have the regular blight and be able to use it. The other point is we have to drop blight when if they gave a blight to an existing arrow we could do using less skillz.

The last thing which seems to have been over looked was fighters have multiple ways to increase thier attack where they don't even need to drop blight. Rangers are being forced to go dot or drop.

We should be able to do a higher speed increse if we like instead as well as the blight arrow.Don't even come at me with they already exist cas we can't match a fighter on this at all! especially with the new Dark Conniption.

If a fighter wants to kill us they should hunt us down and do so, but to think if I had a range weapon I would walk up to to you to do anything is (as bad as my spelling and paragrapgh structuring)REDICULOUS.

Ranger = range. Not walk up try to get away now range. If I recall when you make a new caractor it describes what the classes basicly are. I don't think it included Rangers having to run up to a guy with an ax, hammer,or etc. Cas I have issues with people in my personal space!!!

I didn't have a point. I was just making a remark about how the Devs had tried to address the problem: though it still isn't really addressed. As for giving people false hope, anyone who reads won't be "given false hope", I should think.

And why on Earth are we arguing about this? I only made a remark about a known fact...

Well I don't want to diss the Devs so I'm not gonna say that was thier attempt to fix what I suggested. I think they know exactly what I am talking about as far as this isuue goes cause I have talked to a few of them.

I think the blight range expansion HAS to be a different issue all together.(maybe for fighters or the fast mage) It would not even be in the ball park of making us be able to drop all the skills slots we are being requiered to deal with this issue so I think the blight being exspanded is not for this issue.

I would say about the "given false hope" on this issue is why take the chance of saying something that could make a player who read this who was gonna go vote but saw it could already be fixed to not vote. It plants a seed of delay and doubt.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed right now not later, it has to do with balancing the game that they are almost done balncing. I say this cause in my opinion they are getting there where it is balanced.Still a bit short but it is getting there.

The majority of players who are Lvl 100 and pvp a lot are not rangers but fighters and mages. As far as the top pvp score board shows rangers at lvl 100 have it very difficult competing in this game.

The question is is how many players want to see this game on an even playing field, thats all there is to it. I really hope to see that its not just the rangers who vote for this issue because that would just be wrong and weak.

P.s. we isn't arguing just exspressing our views with an !
