The ranger class was ruined 30th June 2010, by devs who were easily persuaded by the voices of a few clueless people.
Now we are left with the most pathetic, monotonous class in the game.
Every change YOU have listed on this thread

UNDO THEM.
Thank you.
I like the new combo step system, up/down etc. Salvo/Salvo/heartseeker wasn't less monotonous.
What I primarily miss is the difference between bow and crossbow. It was a great way to some change. However crossbow was much more powerful.
Yeah but it's range was lower and it's cast time was longer to compensate. It was the column damage that really boosted the dps of the xbow.Quote:

All traps removed and stupid dps boost from traps removed.
I'd like to see pve damage of ranger up their in top 5 area not top 10 like it is currently.
Pvp give the ranger a health tap ability for a bit of survival now there are no traps.
Removing traps is not a good idea. Ranger changing to melee for CC is a VERY obvious and slow CC. Also ranger needs CC:s fighting melee. Class is really very stationary as you can't shoot any combo steps while running.Quote:

Hey, I'm for change (more fun) but we have to be realistic about it. They won't revamp the class.
lol, "every change you did during revamp, undo them".
LOL
Xbow was imba..lots of damage..but on one condition ..u had to get close..U couldn't have the range u have like now...That had pros and cons..Pros-In a good supporting group when tanks engage everything in the vicinity,and mages cc and nuke...U could kill almost everybody by yourself..lots of kills..Quote:

More buff options from white hits would make ranger more fun, retain unique play style, and also prevent ranger from pre-loading combos from range. With this approach, all five directionals would contribute to an effect on the final shot, with the ranger getting to choose which two of the five to select when setting up the combo. One or two of them could be unique to the combo as is the case now (i.e. increase dot damage on deadly draw), while the others could be common to all combos. For example, a lower left could bypass shields, an upper left could increase evade, straight up could increase damage, upper right add health, etc. etc.
another thing that may help to mitigate the constant qq from pvpers, whithout having an impact on pve, would be to require at least 1 directional buff to use the "combos"... ;)
