Thread: Advantages?

    Well, a ranger can have a total of 7 advantages, one innate, and three from each tree. But using any advantage puts it on a 60-second cooldown and all six other ones on the same 35-second cooldown. So in reality, you will most likely rotate only between two of them. The only reason I could ever see for giving so many options and then extremely limiting their use would be to give the ranger a bit of a choice to customize his or her play style. You might go with a shattering/fire build, for example, or choose to feat either shattering or fire and pair it with the innate advantage, focused fire. But there would hardly ever be a need to feat even the four one-point advantages, let alone the two multi-point ones.

    I never much liked this arrangement, since I feel it cheats the ranger out of some pretty nice options. Imagine, for example, if bear shaman's manifestations were set up in the same way.

    At the very least, I think there should only be a 20-second cooldown for the unused advantages so that it would be possible to rotate among three of them rather then just two.

    Really, imagine for example that bear shaman dont have to aim to hit his combos, and dont need to hit presteps and on top of that have 30m+ range, o and that manifestation do great burst on first hit after its activated .
    I mean cmon mate comparing things like that are quite silly, specially since fire and shattering advantages are quite nice burst by itself. 20 sec cd would be to short since rending strikes are to powerful anyway.

    You only feat 1, you already have Focused fire advantage unspecced.

    I knew it was a reason I only specced 1.

    Focused fire is OK but you'll get better DPS with shattering + fire

    Less powerfull advantages with own cooldown (like choice of special arrows), stances again, more melee combos with offhand option and real combos with more directional advantages again...then ranger might be good again.

    No more advantages with rending strike working the same as it is right now. (retard 2K damage everytime).
