[No "Extra Life Bonus"]

Better late than never, still concerning how we got nerfed twice. 

First removing foods on ToT, and secondly without the drops we might have gotten doing the lab with that extra MF.

There's this rare concept I came across in my long years of playing the game: having multiple DPS specs/classes and picking the one, which I think works best in the encounter.

 

You mean, just pick Mechanist.

Still no bonus.

I just want to provide the boon that is expected without having to pay attention to 10482394823 things happening at the same time.

 

As long as there are specs that can do that, they will be choosen above those that have to do ridicolous rotations (ex. untamed alac). And skip those useless comments saying, "urr durr, alac uptime is just 78% my easy and rewarding rotation is ruined because of you, useless alac provider. " - proceeds to leave party or vote-kick. 

 

The vision posted here is not bad, still feels dull as we might have expected a little more of how this apply. 

 

I like the direction, and want more content focused on the mechanics we have to understand and play to clear content. Skip mechanics because we do 5k more dps is what makes the "dps" role so precious, it saves time for the bad loot reward you get. 

 

In the end, make more accesible to play the mid/end game.

Want speed clearing? learn an optimized rotation.

Want to provide defensive buffs? Yeah, specific utils on demand.

Want to provive offensive buffs? Yeah, passive utils or integrated on the LI rotation.

I spent way too much gold on ectogamblin. 

[ToT Value is gona crash hard cause they removed all the food and utility drops. [Merged]]

Imagine removing 12 items of the table, and still not being able to get rare items after opening +1500 bags. (Not even a mini!)

 

RNG tables are kitten too.

Tell me 5 supportive utilities that are great in team content, that aren't spirits... yeah...
The entire design of ranger -druid and spirits is just selfish. Nothing more, nothing less.
Spirits were a bandaid for years and now it's just 100% boon uptime for 4 boons+alac(if traited) with max boon duration, that costs you the entire utility bar. Combined with spirits needing healing, despawning on tp/zipline and moving only every ~16s, causes Ranger to just become inconsistent and that results in high risks=no reward.

The only thing ranger can do well in pve is raw DPS and that's probably going to be the case until the entire kit is fixed.

 

I understand, maybe it was just me trying to fit an hexagon into a triangle hole.

I've been playing ranger with my main character, 8 years, and lately I feel like all the specs of ranger fall below others in the current meta. It's not like I am an alternative, it's just that based on effort / reward other classes do the job much better. I tought it was my fault, so I specialized, build up and practised rotations with other classes, and I confirmed that the effort needed to clear the content was much lower. 

 

Not talking about being a dps, as its the easiest to do well enough effortlessly with hybrid sb or spamming untamed high apm condi. And I don't need to do this as I have the better ranger called mech. 

 

In the end, when I am supposed to give heals, alac uptime, or some boons, I ask myself, why should I pick druid or alacdps when there are much better options out there? And people notice this too. Why struggle with a super complex static rotation to provide alac, when other character just need to press 3 buttons and have a 100% uptime. 

 

Should ranger be a backup in parties to improve performance of other roles? Should we make mixed roles instead of hyperspecialized ones? Is it that im just bad? 

[Can we please get mushroom pets? [Merged]]

It would be great and I believe it mix super well with untamed vfx. 

[Can we get a QOL update for spirits? [Merged]]

Having to wait to summon the spirit is the worst for me. 

So many rotations broken. Cant even get the crystal on Jade Maw because I wasn summoning a spirit... etc.. Oh yeah, celestial form, want to cast 3, but at the same time alac is almost down, lets waste 2 seconds of celestial summoning a spirit that died.... 

 

The easiest and more confy way, would be like sigils, but im just ok with having reducing summoning time.
