Eekasqueak.7850 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Something that has been bothering me is, why can rangers use spearguns but not rifles? What are people's thoughts and do you think the next ranger elite spec should get rifles/pistols and/or a sort of trophy hunter theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wondrouswall.7169 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm fine with whatever. At the end of the day, it's all fancy wording and skill effects. As long as it functions and serves a purpose, but given their track record, I think I'll have more issues on the execution rather than the weapon choice.

starlinvf.1358 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 The main ranger theme is low technology weapons, which is why they have Bows but no pistols or rifles, despite being "ranged" weapons. Harpoon is just a side effect of only having 1 "ranged" underwater weapon, since Trident is considered "Magic" in Core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the theme was survivalists/nature explorers, not necessarily low tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL > > Sarcasm doesn't translate well to text on the internet :P For me it was pretty crystal clear that this was fluent sarcasm :D Personally i dont mind if we will get a pistol wielding E-Spec (i think pistols are the better choice than riffle due to more weaponset combinations). But first i would rather want a melee CC spec with AoE cabbabilities. Its what ranger is lacking atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
