RG is the most boring class maybe even pointless.

Okay now on topic of like getting buffs for the team there used to be an item ingame called the buff Banner? 

I'm not entirely sure hmm.. I'm pretty sure it was a Dev weapon you use to see ingame like 10-12 years ago my memory isn't great because I only saw it a few times in game? It was like something like a 10% damage bonus use to have red particles like healing I think maybe? 

it's called the Champion's Standard, wasn't a dev item, but the reward for the last (2nd) house tournament (iirc). if it still exists, it's in the hands of FSA, but they're long gone, so the banner is too. yes, it buffed the damage and yes it had red particles.

So it's a thing that could be implemented in some form, however I'm not entirely sure if that's the correct way to go about giving RG a "use"

I mean, the problem is that the class is too passive, so giving it a passive ability might not be a good idea.

I guess that's actually a very interesting idea because that would actually give a class like Ranger a bigger reason to use his new 1h skill on harder modes then normal

the problem with that: slashing is already pretty op. I think people just don't realize how much damage a BH stinger really deals. but buffing melee means buffing everything melee, which includes pride, legacy and ironsong. further buffing those already way too strong items makes the power creep even worse.

Hamster i think you didnt think of ranged dont need to be near any enemy to take damage and melee does and it takes considerable more hits to kill 1 guy with melee then it does with ranged wich can machine gunn kill guys in a congaline, as melee it takes quite a bit of skill to fight 4 guys at once in ragnarok or even hard dependent on the wave, also so i have to remind you of your sleeping paralasys demon named my mom?
