Ranger Boost

At current state, I think rangers get shafted pretty badly... they supposely should have max bow and spear skill.. and the summon school complexity needs a lot of tweaking. I idea/suggestions is as stated... allow rangers to have 99% in bow and spear (rangers hunt in the wild for meat idealy with a bow and/or spear). I dont think anyone 'uses' spear or bow right now so this might encourage some to take that as an option. Also, the summon school complexity could use some tweaks as a whole.

Sidenote: ironic that the spell 'summon' spell isn't classify as summon complexity type spells.

'summon' is not the same as the other spells, which is why its in a different category.

summon, is just another name for portaling someone in to you

where 'summon monster' or whatever is more like 'conjuring a monster'

maybe it should get a namechange to 'conjure'

I agree that Rangers need to be twinked. The bow is far to weak and some bow specific spells would be awsome. Also, I think the Ranger summons are the weak sauce. The summons level should be equal to the casters level, with fec's adding damage or dr or mana, you get the jist.

As much as I agree that rangers need tweaking, this discussion happened many times but unfortunately, there isn't any noticable things being done to tweak them. If anything, there's been nerf to them (nerf of elementals, which are one of ranger's specialized complexity [along with druid's]). Many have raised the suggestion of boosting their bow skills to 99%.

2 years since previous post =/

I think Ranger should just have another skill that boost bow skills and maybe change the percentage on the bow skill itself.

Good exmaple is Mage :mana conservation, kinetics, concentration,
maybe Ranger should have there own skill like Triple Shooter, Excess Bow Damage (bow skill only)
