dibs! i wanna be a ranger

[Yakuzan]

In Lineage2 Ranger's were quite popular, good in solo and in pvp they were perfect for hard-core players and for people who enjoyed killing monsters alone without needing the help of others.

I like what I see in Aion so far, some kind of hybrid mix between melee and long range skills. Very cool, I will look great with duel swords and a bow in my back .

[Syvil]

ofcourse, hehe, dual sword + bow, good for fight in all distance, but we must face with the trust: we must spend a lots of money for buy and enchant them

Untill you run out of arrows and SS, it was and still is a pain in the *** trying to level a Phantom Ranger for a decent time period with arrows/SS. I don't really carry A-Crystals with me due to the increase in weight. Archers in PvP, yeah there pretty cool to use, crits/stun are pretty much were it's at. A Treasure Hunter in Majestic resisting my stun, useing dash to catch up to me, backstab, dead -_-, lol. I am really lookin forward to seein how they put Rangers together in Aion though, I hope we don't have to keep comin back to town to restock, some sort of "craft arrow" ability would be nice. I noticed in most of the videos I've seen that Rangers use Dual Swords as well, which looks like it'll save a ton on the bow expenses in both PvP and PvE.

Only thing that worries me is that in the videos the ranger doesnt seem to do that much dmg at least compared to the warrior class tho i didnt see that much bow usuage.

I know its still in beta and gear usually makes the ranger class but im sure theres more to than that with traps and such cause this is one of the classes im intrested in atm

You might haven't noticed but in L2 you also had the ability to craft arrows btw :P.Still i hope there will be more balance between different chars.what i mean is that in l2 Mages always ruled the server,L2 was one magic critical hit so i hope there will be many changes in this subject

Yeah but I usually bought them till C grade, for the higher ranks I asked my guild to make them for me. I usually payed a small amount but it was still worth it. The SS were damn expensive that's why I only used one shot per mob and hoped it was a crit to finish it off easily.

Kiting really worked great in Lineage2. You can't kite for **** in WoW.(But you have a pet anyways.

You must be a very patient player yak.I can't even imagine hitting mobs in l2 without ss,(btw,my guild always gave me ss so i didn't have problems with money)

Yeah, I know we did. lol, thus my "I don't usually carry A-Crystals with me while leveling" comment, should have elaborated, my bad. "Quiver of Arrow: Grade A", consumes 1 A-Grade crystal, with a 30 minuet cool down, 30 freaking minuets! Maybe if it gave more than 1000 on average it would be worth it. >_>

[Gravity]

After I lvl my Priest (or) Chanter up, I will make a Ranger for DPS and PvP. Or an Assassin, i dunno.... >.>

If you ask me ranger (or wahtever name it will have later for both races) usually are strong and NC like to overpower them. I bet they will be pretty strong with bows and crossbows, and not much good with malee weapons, but you will be able to do some dmg to maybe prevent die on the lack of arrows, specially becouse on close range combat light armor types usually when get hitted suffer just too much dmg.

Well In Lineage2 Rangers have always been favored in the game but they were over-powered only once and it was in C1 when a player could attain 60% crit chance on each shot. Now, each new expansion in L2 makes a new class Over-powered. I remember people re-rolling a class just because the class was getting overpowered. C3= Dagger users and might mortal*. C4 was summoners and necromancers. Only class that sucked was the Elven warrior path(excluding SwS)


* Might Mortal: A weapon enchant increasing the landing chance of stab skills(used by dagger classes). It got taken out but there are still some daggers who were enchanted with it running around from time to time.

There were quite a bit of Rangers in GW (sorry for my GW references) and let me give a couple opinions from the GW perspective.

In GW the most popular professions were:

Rangers, Warriors, Dervish, Necros, Assassins were one of the most prominent ones to me.

Rangers were the most prominent, in my opinion, because they could fight from a range effectively. Hopefully Aion allows or maybe forces the Ranger to live up to its name and be good at Survivability and less of Marksmanship... People would just go for damage in Ranger and not use Traps or Pets. If Aion can combine all these things, it would bring out only the pros to use Rangers and less of the "newbies" who go Rangers "just because they always do it"

That newbie would be me, but that'd be sort of masochistic. (Is masochistic only applying to physical things?)
