The removal of the exp penalty, addition of panic animal, and some melee and spell ATK upgrades put us in a much better position. I'm looking forward to it. Part of what I like about rangers is the difficulty, so if they got too much better I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.
This person knows what he is talking about. A Ranger is a HARD class to play without dying. You know and I know they, like a lot of classes, they are squishy. I have said on here before they are a cat and mouse class. And they are the cat. They have so many good tools if you know how to play one its scary. It takes skill to play one and I mean a lot of skill, but it is so rewarding to do it. It is not some class you just sit there and spam a spell or hit a button with. You have to think, its like a chess game, and that is what is exciting about them. They will be fun as hell to play in Velious.

I had a duel epic one on live, probably got the epics in the Velious expansion, I don't remember, long time ago, and it was a killing machine solo. Not a fast killing machine, but it got the job done. Snare is a GOOD thing, it makes some stuff happen that you can only do on a few classes. But with snare and their bow, if you know how to play one, you hardly get hit over 40% of the fight. And you will kiss their butts to track for you in Velious.
