Suggestion - Ranger.

[CloverTruth]

Hello i want to give some perspectives about arcane ranger etc, will say bow class.

I have tryd it out and i seem like not understanding how you could make an Bow class from rangers when they get so weak at higher lvl, most arcane rangers in the end used to do TWF but it went bad at higher lvl because they mainly focused on bow.

Bow damage, and their power is the weakest Archer class i seen in all my entirely life of playing MMORPG Game, No really base on being a pure Bow User class.

What i want to see is to fix it so it even DOES exist an class who is using bow, as an arcane archer is mainly focusing at.
but right now i only see an poor weak class who cant do much at higher lvl, yes maybe survival with dodge and running, but with atking -> zero.

Best regards.

Many people reached that conclusion shortly after making a ranged character. This topic has been raging since Commander Errulf was a pup. Best thing to do is make a real ranger, with the ranged part as a 2nd choice (for as long as manyshot lasts), and just go hack away with rapiers or khopesh.

Oh yup... don't forget to add lots of HP, and go nuts with AC.

Right now, I have a 17th level Arcane Archer. I really enjoyed getting him to 17th level. Did it mostly solo because people just don't seem to want archers in their parties except for a few quests.

Archers are very underpowered, and seem to grow less powerful with every update. I'm at the point where I'm thinking about rebuilding him as a primarily two-weapon fighter because archery just isn't as useful at these levels and with recent changes. It's a shame really. Archers should be on par with melee rangers.
