Hi! First of all, I would like to explain that I am no longer a Ranger, but anyway, I am sensitive to the situation of these two classes in particular.
Yes, I know that we have a lot of "ranger haters" on the server, either because of an ego conflict where they feel offended by dying for a female character, or maybe because they really do not perform well in PvP against these two classes.
Unfortunately this happens, but even though I am sure that some will come to give free rage simply because it is about Rangers, I cannot remain silent about what has been happening. That said, let's get to the point.
Would you be Ranger today? No? Why? Here is my experience with the class on the server...
I love doing two things here, Siege War and Exp. I look for and study every single detail, mainly about Siege War, so that each day I try to improve more. In the "Priston structure" we all know the semi-meta that occurs during Siege War... Rangers have always been HRHR (High Risk, High Reward) characters. But unfortunately the "High Reward" part doesn't happen. The situation of the Rangers today is that, characters with armor and shield dealing much more damage than an pure Archer or Ata, being that these two pure classes die in practically 1 hit for any character up to 15 levels below.
Today, playing Ranger is frustrating, even if you love the class. I gave up on Ranger for the moment because I have a relatively good level and items, but still deals less damage than almost all classes, and was by far the most fragile class in the game. I am now in a class considered easier and more basic to play, but at least I perform much better in Siege War.
Archer and Ata today are literally a joke. After the constant and heavy nerfs that both classes received, I wouldn't be scared if an Archer or Ata 170 failed to beat a Mech or Knight 153. It is not a nerf request for other classes, it makes no sense to nerf all other classes until they get weak like Archer and Ata; It is a request to find a way to put these classes in their proper positions. If we check the Ranking... Atas don't even need to comment, and Archers, only two of them play PvP actively.
Now on to the reasons for not being a Ranger today:
1- Exp? We have better Exp classes. (and that's fair, not a complaint);
2- PvP? You can be a Knight / Mech, do a lot more damage than any ranger, and still be one of the most tanker classes in the game; You can be a Pike / Fighter / Assassin, and have the ability to nullify a target effectively and quickly;
3- Siege War? You can be a Mage and literally destroy any class at the event; Or a Pris, and score very well while giving great support to your Clan; Or even a Shaman which is good for both PvP and Siege War.
None of these points mentioned above is wrong! This is the fun part of the game, each class having its peculiarities and functions! But where are the Archers and Atas? They don't fit into anything there, because they are inferior to all other classes at all points in the game.
This is a topic asking for minimal attention to the server's Rangers, but I will also leave a "global suggestion" for the case:
-> Transform Rangers back into High Risk High Reward classes. If a Ranger is pure build and dies in 1 hit for anyone, it must have the highest damage in the game to make up for it.
Thanks in advance, and Avante Wartale! =^---^=
