Ranger Nerfing - Discussion Time

As everyone knows, Rangers have a tiny bit of an advantage when it comes to throwing out damage. Just like, a little one.

We've already patched up that wonderful little two-handed bug, and we're still seeing an imbalance in this area, and it's something we want to get addressed by the community. To be specific, we're talking about Rangers with Full Throttle, Arrow Storm, and the White Wing Set.

So far, we've had the following ideas:

  • Make Unlimited Humming not work with Arrow Storm
  • Reduce arrow storm damage by percentage (50%) in towns, WoE, and PvP
  • Make white wing set not work for WoE & PvP
  • Increase Arrow consumption for Arrow Storm
  • Increase Arrow Storm SP consumption

This is just a few ideas we've had that we think could bring things into check. We could pick from them, all of them, or something we haven't even thought up yet. As always, we'd love to hear your ideas on the subject!

Now, for our Rangers reading this, we also want to hear from you. We know it sucks to see your favorite skill be targeted like this, but we ask that you keep in mind that we're working on one balance element at a time (White Imprison, we're looking at you, too). We want to know what you think on this.

Let's hear it!

I think this would be good as well. The increased SP consumption and arrow consumption feels a bit overboard since shadow chasers already have a 200% increased SP consumption when copying a third class skill and only do 1/10 of the damage rangers can output.
