Ranger nerf

[Kwal]

I was wondering when one of these threads would pop up again...

they only just gave the longbow 3 more dmg and people already complain about rangers? i just did my first hard mode and rangers only killed me once. its about being careful wait untill they target something else and only go for headshots. if you dont kill them on the first shot they will kill you. faster archers are worse i find. they just spam you to death.

so... go for head shot miss and then die from the instant head shot? theres to many of them for them all to be focused on something

Theyre not that hard guys...

they were nerfed last patch? i coulda sworn it said more rangers in the change log?

Thats a bit of an in-joke because of how often we all get messed up by the little suckers. They arn't really all that bad the main thing they do well is keep you from just running around everywhere without consideration for the fact that they can shoot you.

Yes I am an archer. Personaly the Longbow is my favorite weapon atleast untill i hit sniper and can get my hands on a sharpshooter bow.

Rangers literally used to have aimbot. Stop whining.

Also, just leave the rangers to crossbowmen and give them some room to move behind cover. They can have a shot ready and then let it loose on their head by the time they've half-way drawn their bowstring. An archer has to have a speed advantage over them if they want to stand off with them.

Read through the past change logs and you might uncover a conspiracy.
