Why do Rangers not have an AOE ranged ability? (Read 10907 times)

	Because Rangers are OP as they are. They already get a lvl 4 summons that they can summon in any level 28 quest. They can charm any animal every 5 minutes, as long as the will save is less than 15. Ooooh...let's see...what else....? Spike groth was already mentioned, but Longstrider, yeah, there's that. Self buffing of resistances, saves time on the ship...er....wait. Camoflage, that's it. How can you get attacked if no one knows you are there? Rangers are OP.

Ranger are not just rangers, they can be Arcane Archers. AA could have Fireball imbued arrows and things of that sort.

	This... NOTSunnyshadow wrote on Apr 16^th, 2014 at 12:57am: IPS is all the AoE that you need. Aim for the furthest mob, hit haste boost/damage boost, adrenaline, manyshot, slayer arrows. If that doesn't work, splurge UMD for sleetstorms scrolls (you do have FoM as a spell, right?) kite towards sleetstorm and profit.

	Here's what I see happening.... [SSG]: "We've given you a generic, auto-grant feat you can toggle to hit up to 3 targets @ a time, provided you are using a non-repeater Ranged weapon. [Players]: "YAY!" [(1) player who feels the need to bitch about every build being OP because his flavor build sucks bawlz]: "Boo!! Rangers are OP! [SSG]: "After field testing we've found Rangers enhancements are over-performing, so we are removing IPS and the auto-granted TWC feats...."

I like to spinkle in Icestorm Wands (can get at tavern in the 12 tower) and season with one of the many Solid Fog clickies to taste. Also a fan of Crippling and Tendon Slice effects. Heh...

	Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon tree cannot enhance the tornado; Things fall apart; the TR bank cannot hold; Mere nerfery is loosed upon DDO, The dev jizz tide is loosed, and everywhere The forum paladins are drowned; The best lack all greenis, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

Sadly I missed that particular extravaganza, otherwise I wouldn't be complaining about my racial TRs

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	The funniest thing about this necro thread is that Rangers do have an AOE ranged ability now.
