Hello

as a few words of presentation, I've been playing GW as a primary ranger mainly since the opening day, and I was devastated at the ew nerf, as many of you were too.
After that, we've been getting Ursan, SF, 55hps which still ahsnt been nerfed, VwK, etc, which have permitted other classes to farm the hell out of the game.

We rangers, however, have gotten our only means of effective farming (not counting BP - but pet corpses got pwned too) taken out of the game!

Also, let's not forget the actual fun of trapping - I love it, seeing the enemy mobs walk towards you only to be crippled, poisoned, burned, KDd etc! So why not an actual PVE trapper? For general questing, not only farming?

To ask for a trapping buff, /signed

I bealive EW was nerfed because of spiritway in HA? With PvP/PvE skill separation they could put it back to normal for PvE so, signed I guess.

By the way... Rangers used to have another great farming method, but they killed that stone dead: Splinter Barrage.

eg. Battle of Turai's Procession... Solo... 72 Hard Mode margonites go BOOM, or 80 margonites + the boss if you were a Rit primary (Rt/R). About 6 minutes per run. The same method worked for other mobs too, but alas... it is no more.

yes

forgot about Splinter Barrage... Give rangers the ability to farm once again!

I want my trapper back, using pure traps + winnowing is not fun ;/

And yeah, EW was nerfed because of abuse in HA.

No. My favorite ranger build is splinter barrage, but even I know that 1k damage every 6 seconds is overpowered.

Would be nice to be able to go solo the UW again with my ranger.

Miss the farming and the solo trapper playing a part in groups. With Ursan being abused to no ends I don't see trappers coming back to any party.

Used to love trapping in groups, eventhough now with ursan in place I probably wont get the chance to do that at all, atleast it'll be made easier for you to do it if possible :3.

I gave up on my Ranger a long time ago

. You think farming as a Ranger is hard? Try it as a Paragon.

But Ranger is, in theory, THE BEST class to survive among foes. And Paragon was, is and always will be a support class. Check out his primary attribute.

And why is that bad? It was overpowered from the start, and stayed that way for what? Over a year? Was it ever a problem in PvE in that time? Did it allow you to mow through every Hard Mode area the way A Certain Skill does right now? No.

They'll never put it back the way it was, but I can dream.

I miss the days of trapping UW with guildies.

Actually, it wasn't like that from the start. They buffed Splinter Weapon to it's overpowered state and then tuned down. It's still better in PvE than in PvP.

They buffed splinter SIX times before it became imba actually.

Rangers can Uran (Boo!), 55Hp (srsly), VwK (try it, srsly), Geomancer stuff (srsly ...)

Etc etc etc...

That reminds me, I need to delete my ranger.

BlackSephir · Jul 08, 2008, 03:18 PM // 15:18

I wouldn't really care, because the game is already easy BUT! An said that they're separating pve and pvp and that pve that got nerfed because of pvp will be restored.
And yet many skills have been forgotten, like Energizing Wind, Fox's Promise, Black Lotus Strike yadayada.

So yea, /signed.

Take the exhaustion away from Chain Lightning too, while you are at it.
