Suggestion Ranger nerf

[Xerot]

I seldom use punch bows, since most people usually just run faster with it. Plus, rangers are 1v1 demons. But you get another enemy on the mix, and suddenly it's like taking candy from a baby. Seriously, we're good on our own, but as soon as you have a buddy or know how to focus someone down, we're pathetically easy. And I do speak from experience, we're anything but invincible. If a ranger's harrassing you, get an ally, and suddenly life is good. Oh, and watch the terrain you're on. It's effectively game over if the ranger you're facing knows the land he's on.

Oh, and @Truecorruptor <3

Isn't that how it works for all specs? (2v1 you should lose no matter what class).

Some people can beat people in 2v1s.

Never said they couldn't, depends on how well they play their class vs the other two. But in a fair match were all 3 are equally skilled in their class the 1 person should always lose.

Exactly, and on class shouldn't dominate most other classes, except dragoon and disciple in a 1v1.

Think of it like rock paper scissors.

The rock shouldn't beat the paper AND the scissors.

It doesn't dominate other classes like you say. It *can* if played properly, but I know I've often fallen to the swords of samurais and axes of dreadknights. On the same token, I've also beaten those samurais and dreadknights. I don't feel as though the ranger "dominates" the field of pvp at all right now. Your observations shouldn't be taken from a single ranger's patterns/exploits/etc.

I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to whoever said that rangers should beat all classes in 1v1s.

 

[Standman7227]

As a ranger I feel we are op and I don't even have arrowstorm yet.

 

[jazza411]

@EtKEnn you obviously forget that rangers had root last map and ice arrow wasn't useless, also rangers are 'Rogues' aka high damage dealers which means rangers are supposed to heal high damage at a distance. One more thing rangers are far from 1v1 kings leftovers and xerots are just freaks and you guys are just whining over how they can shoot straight and you can obviously not strafe.

 

[Bingy1218]

Lol this has gone on to long

LOOK at it like this. if you relise your in deep shit and they have a punch bow whacking you backwards STOP running back at them! Bryn you of all people are you that stupid to constantly run straight at a guy whos gonna push you back away and deal damage?

Someone create a poll for this so we can decide whether or not punch bows have the public vote to be changed.

 

[jazza411]

thats a good idea!

 

[EvilThor]

It's the same as saying:
Meele classses is OP
IF they use knockback 5 swords and potions if the opponent don't use it.

 

[jazza411]

The next time Ihazbryn kills me I am going to make a thread how dragoon is op.

 

[Diffuse]

I lost 4-5 hearts in 2 seconds from an arrowstorm today.

 

[EvilThor]

I lost 4-5 hearts in 2 seconds from an arrowstorm today.

Then the arrow storm was either combined whit poison arrow or firearrow and you was unlucky.
The Arrowstorm is random, it is not the same amount of arrows in the same amount of time that comes out every time.

Tell me, why would a Melee class ever EVER use a knockback sword. Also the max enchantment for Knockback is 2, not 5. There are no useful combat enchantments for swords on HC.

 

[whitemagehealu]

lol - Melee want to get close to the target not knock them away. xD

This. As a samurai, knocking back the foe would be a critical flaw in my battle strategy.

 

[iHazBryn]

I'll get right on that.

I'd love to see you scrounge up an argument for that.

 

[itzmak]

Here's an idea, let's give rangers rubber arrows that only do 1 dmg and their arrow storm shoots 1 arrows every 10 minutes. Also not to mention if they sneak they turn into a giant. Lastly make punch bows bring the target closer.

Rangers are fine just learn how to dodge arrows and when to fight.
