Interesting suggestions, they sound good but I think would make it too unbalanced (and my fav character is my ranger).

The changes I would like are:

1. Have charm animal/res pet as one skill seeing as you can't use monk skills to res your pet like you can allies, but leave comfort animal for healing only.

2. Move all bow releated skills to marksmanship - it's daft having to put points in four attributes to use one to it's fullest extent - no other class has to do this - a sword, hammer or axe warrior only needs to bump up 3 attributes to have access to all usable skills for that weapon, and an ele specilizing in one element only needs to boost 2

I would like to start by saying this. I play a Ranger, always have, and always will. I find that no class has the versatility, and that is one of the greatest strengths of the class.

However, there is a word for having a pet without using a skill slot. Broken. If you have 11 (B)/10 (M)/10 (E) with all Minor Runes, you are a decent damage-dealer, and your team gets a free Warrior.

If you are arguing that preparations should not wear off until the first arrow is fired because it is unrealistic, picture this. You have a quiver of arrows. You set one on fire, then you put it back. Do you see a problem?

Rangers do not need a lot of energy. Expertise lowers skills to a managable cost, as long as you do not continually spam skills.

In PvP with my Ranger, if I fire on an enemy with no acceleration (not moving or moving in a constant direction) and not using evades, I do not believe I have ever missed. Making it easier to hit people using evades ruins the evades, and making it easier to hit characters spending effort just to stop you seems a waste.

As if rangers weren't already the most overpowered overused character in the game you want more!!

Rangers have their counters, just like everything else. Quit filling the forums with bs.
