How about instead of adding strange mechanics that never got into the game we just give rangers their bow DPS they got later in the game without making it better damage than pure DPS classes? Rangers do ok DPS considering they're a hybrid class with buffs anyways . . .

That's what happens when you roll a ranger, if you want "perfectly" balanced classes go play WoW or a WoW emulator.

Specialized classes are great for specialized situations. Rogues drag and kill things. Wizards port and kill things. That's as far those classes go. Ranger is a good class for a non min max player who likes to have more control on their environment and be able to do things on their own while still being a melee class.

As someone withe experience, P99 bow can get you to 46, at least it did for me, it took me lotta arrows LOTS, but i made 46 and was able to use my Swarmcaller to change from bow to melee. I then went from 46 to 51 using melee, but it is very doubtful i can go further, as mobs hti harder and harder, and i cant go back and use bow, it reached it's limit. So you have to group, or take forever to kill 1 mob.

A Ranger back on live with AA's in archery mastery 3, and with the Endless Quiver skill, using a decent bow could do massive damage. Without that skill Rangers will never reach their peak, unless their bow damage is increased, but i doubt that will happen. Still i have enjoyed playing a Ranger, and will continue to grind to 60.

What I remember of rangers on live.

Kunark rangers got double damage above level 46? for mobs not moving and not rooted (viable in groups). Is that in this emu?

Quivers gave bow haste in velious (should have been sooner).

In PvP archery was at I think 60% plus and went to as high as 80% sometime shortly after PoP then nerfed a year or so later back to original same time DD spells nerfed to 80% player health? (aa's made archery insane)

It went up to 80% PvP again at some point.

I really don't remember much beyond the haste addition to quivers and better gear/spells in Velious. Which sucked for nonPvP rangers. Especially in min/max setting.

I agree about the bow damage, that would be the untimate fix; some kind of long ranger quest that wound up with the equivalent of am3/eq.

[Taffan]

They get better in velious, with no exp pent and predator - i believe they get a combat skills boost as well, don't quote me on that though.

[fadetree]

Also get Weaponshield, which is kinda useful on raids for getting a mob slowed and pissed off.

terrible idea >.>
