"Support the Lost Quiver for a Ranger Alliance"

GAMBITTHOUGHT · #1 06-03-2005, 04:19 PM

I do not know how everybody else base there character play as a ranger, but for me it is the love for the Bow. I Shoot Target archery for fun and hope to go competitive in a few years. I know for Target and Hunting shooting I have different arrow tips for each occasion. I think and have read that many other believe the rangers are lacking in GW. The bow?s damage have been dropped down to a level of little significant. I believe this will help in increasing the Ranges Prowess in GW and possible make Ranges a true battle harden character than one most only point and laugh at. I propose that GW developers need to implement Quivers as a secondary hand item for the Rangers.

Quiver
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines as a case for carrying or holding arrows

A Quiver can be place in the secondary hand to equip it to the Ranger while using a bow. The Quivers can increase the damage of Rangers? arrows or skill. The quivers can be constructed by presenting crafting items to a crafter.

Examples of Quivers and Material needed to create.
Quiver of Reinforce Tip: increase damage 8-13 pts with amour piercing +10 %
3 Hides , 1 Steel , 1 Lobe Stone, 2 Wood.
Quiver of Serrated edge: Increase damage 4-6 pts and causes bleeding for 2 sec
3 Hides , 2 Iron , 1 bone , 2 Wood
Quiver of Bluntness: Increase damage 10-15 pts against undead

Photics, I know that you know some loops holes into the Arena net. I just wanted to see how everybody would respond to the idea. Though many has read the post few has left there thoughts or quick post. I do belive this will be a great addition to a Ranger.

I can't comment on this too much. Let's just say... if only you knew. :P

Yeah to be able to use different arrows would be cool besides poison...like those nice explosive ones the Charr always kicked my butt with....now that would be cool.

Photics · #7 06-14-2005, 06:14 PM

The exploding arrow is a skill... Ignite Arrows I think it's called. I don't know... I haven't played the Ranger profession in a long time. Rangers are too weak in general for my liking.

Not true. ranger, because they have been gimped, have now become specialty warriors. i made a ranger that fires really quickly and disrupts the skills of others. he does decent damage, but if it isnt enough use DOT. rangers are not weak. they only seem weak because their damage is not instant.

Photics,

If I remeber your earlier expereinces with GW in the Alpha stage Rangers were your favorite. That was be for Tank. Rangers have been nerfed in the thought that they are one of the most difficult charaters to use in PvE, from the fact they have great diffculty to stand against just about any creator that numbers more then 2 it seem. I think that a littel help and not much more buff would bring up the ranger to a more formable character. I have re worked the stats on the quiver from reading other post and believe this to be more apply able.

Quiver of Reinforce Tip: increase damage 2-4 pts with amour piercing +10 %
3 Hides , 1 Steel , 1 Lobe Stone, 2 Wood.

3 Hides , 2 Iron , 2 Feathers

Quiver of Coal Tip: Increase Fire damage 5pts
3 Hides , 2 Charcoal , 2 Iron , 1 Flame wielder Trappings, 2 Wood

Quiver of Static Shock: Increase Lighting damage by 5 pts, arrow has amour piercing +5%
3 Hides , 1 Iron , 1 Steal , 2 Lobe Stone or Granite, 2 Wood
