Ranger's take note.

Here’s the deal with Archery. Ranged combat is currently very overpowered. Be it from a caster or an archer you could in some circumstances deliver enormous amounts of damage with almost no hate being added to you. This is being fixed very soon.

We do have a fix for the line of sight bug ready for the Test Server and the other little things archers want like auto-attack, but the game is going to change a little once the hate-list system is corrected and Rangers will need to be a lot more like Rogues in watching their damage output to control aggro. Auto attack will probably be situational at best once implemented if a Ranger wants to stay alive.

Why does this make me think "Great 2 weeks of patches and everything being too dorked up to even bother trying to kill"? Oh yeah I remember it's Verant's track record....

Nukers better take note as well....this hate list "fix" appears to be the answer to all the cry baby shit from the melee crowd.

Instead of upping melee damage it looks like they are just gonna turn all nukers into hamburger.

"will need to be a lot more like Rogues"

Forest Stalkers beware !

SONOFABITCH

the one thing we have. THE ONE THING that sets us up as important classes on a raid, as a class that scales well, and as desired damage dealers gets FUXXORED.

Well, im glad I haven't bought the AAs yet.

Fuck you and the horse you came in on, SOE. First you make us the single weakest melee class in the game. Low HP. Shit armor. Low defensive skills. Then you make Dual Wield a second-class citizen. Then you take away the one ability we had over the other classes - our ranged damage.

Thank you for bringing back the bullshit anti-ranger sentiment. Fuck you and die.

I wonder if they'll refund the AA... Even though I'd just rebuy em.

Mezzdat · 03-06-2003, 01:29 PM

So you guys are bitching that you are going to generate appropriate amounts of hate now? Refund AA's? Rangers always have been whinners...

HOLY SHIT! Melee damage is broked?! Why am I always the last guy to hear about this stuff.

FanBuss · 03-06-2003, 01:37 PM

lol I'm a Hunter and I'm perfectly fine with this change. Fucking whiners above.

Montegue · 03-06-2003, 01:43 PM

How do you plan on controlling your aggro during /disc Trueshot and still churn out the damage your guild has come to expect?

Maybe they will get some sort of hide for evade, but something ranger gay like "Ranger hides behind a tree". God thats gay to think about.

Asmadai · 03-06-2003, 02:07 PM

this fucking whinefest is about as bad as the damn 'oh nos! my horsie dont werk wit old models anymorE! das raid is RUINED'

oh so now you will generate the amount of hate you SHOULD HAVE been receiving for a while now from ranged attacks? the hell you say? generating hate from ranged attacks? thats UNHEARD OF.

shut the fuck up rangers.

Wychway · 03-06-2003, 02:27 PM

You still have jolt, morons. Use it.

Objector · 03-06-2003, 02:29 PM

You will just learn to /disc later in the fight after the MT has gained the lions share of the agro. I don't know too many wizards that nuke while the mob is being pulled yet I see rangers attacking full bore during the pull because they generate almost no agro.

Deal!

Shampy · 03-06-2003, 02:38 PM

I didn't mean it to come off as a whine, it's just I wanted to indulge in my AM3/EQ agroless goodness for a while before the nerf.

Looking back on it, I don't mind the agro boost... especially if the LoS issues will be fixed.

In regards to the AA refund statement, I only mentioned it seeing as Wizards were refunded when the MB nerf went live.
