Thumbs up Why I Like R/W

NOTICE: Don't know what happened, but this thread is supposed to be in Ranger Forums, please go their to post a message, ty.



*Ranger/Warriors are actually a fun profession to play, IMO. Most people in the game tell me " Meneldil, dude, why do you have your secondary as warrior? You just wasted a whole secondary profession, man!"

Well,
---Rangers, first of all, are much different than other professions, they really don't need secondary professions, they pack it all in their own skills. I add the warrior profession for a bit more fun.

---I admit that sometimes I get bored of shooting, and shooting, and shooting (plus the occasional trapping). Instead, I can fight with sword, axe, or hammer. (Though I haven't tried hammer much. I have, however, fought against R/W with hammers, and most of them fought hard.)

---The tactics attribute can help a lot, actually. Watch Yourself, for example, boosts my already high enough ranger armor an additional 20. And all you need is 4 adrenaline strikes.

---The running! Ranger/Warriors make excellent runners, probably close to the best, infact. And even Sprint, a stength-attribute skill, lasts 8 seconds with 0 Strength. So now my ranger is going to be walking around with some *Bling-bling*

---Rangers usually take a profession for only 1-2 skills, but with the warrior profession you have access to a lot of different skills that can boost your ranger builds, but you can basically use most skills to your advantage because you can fight constantly with melee weapons, since you got the armor to be up in front.

---Surprisingly, the ''fun-level'' of R/W is very high, IMO. You can switch from a support fighter to the leader of the group! (Just remember, though, you can't be both at the same time, I mean you could, but your attribute points will be wasted if they concentrate on two weapons, IMO.)


*And then some people ask me "Well, Meneldil, why don't you just be a warrior/ranger?

Well,
---Warrior/Rangers aren't as good as fighting opponents with bows, since bow skills require energy, and you don't get expertise. But I do like W/R, just saying.
---As for me, I want to fight with the bow more. The melee weapons are for added fun, and more ways of playing.


So I guess it all depends what you want to do more. Warrior/Rangers don't use the bow much, if any. Ranger/Warriors can use the bow more, and that is what I like.

So before you go ranting about R/W's, just remember, it's all about the fun.

As for myself, I don't like magic much, so I don't bother with Elementalists, Memsers, and Necromancers. I like Rangers, Warriors, and Monks. I plan to have a R/W AND W/R, in fact, lol.

i used to think R/W's were the best runners too, but the monk skills are absolutely(spelling wrong probz) necessary in most good-money runs and rangers dont have the toughness to run shiverpeaks etc, imo

Hey {IceFire}, so you like R/Mo? I have been considering monk as a secondary.
