Thread: ranger on pve?

  1. #1

    Default ranger on pve?

    Hi, I only have a free spot and the only chars I don't have are hox and ranger. Without trying the rangers seams to me super boring can anyone who use one as main character for endgame pve context explain me what is the interesting about it? In my experience all chars have something unique that make playing with them fun but I can't see it on ranger.

    This is not intend to be a troll thread, please don't start talking about pvp (I don't care). Only write the thinks you like about rangers on pve.
    -> DT:Stiraqvcrn; Necro:Munyidora; ToS:Stiraqvaa; Guard:Stirameco; BS: Stiraqcanya, ...

    If you see one Stira wipeing a group or a raid Its me

    i'm still using my ranger as main mostly for 2 reasons:
    - it was my 1st character here and i don't like to change main
    - it's quite easy to play, so it's easier to take a look at the combat as a whole

    but if you already know the fights and the choice is between hox and ranger... i'd pick hox...

    My main is also a ranger but I use it just for pvp now as pve is really boring due to stupid revamp caster system. Pve ranged damage from melee range way to go funcom.

    I too would suggest hox only cause if my ranger wasn't created in 2008 and wasn't my main I'd not roll one now it's just too dumbed down and too easy to play.

    Yeah it's that, except for start of the fight, where it's more interesting to debuff to both avoid getting aggro and well...debuff.

    You forgot rotating the traps! But yeah... boring as ****. I think this class needs a fun revamp.

    I see ranger usefull regardless of the simple mechanic look at it like this if you don't have demo or necro roll a ranger lol
    Also the advantages of a ranger in fights you can eat chips and salsa while playing pve lol

    yea, in raids you can use armor ripper once, then the mob will surely be at 5 stacks debuff before the cd expires, because all ranks shares the same cd...
