Ranger Disarm

Postby Kelzen » Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:05 am

So I'm a highly dextrous ranger, who can handle two weapons at a time.

Yet I can't disarm?

Maybe it would overpower those few melee rangers that get taken to non dragon fights.....

Sure you can.

You stumble, sending your a glittering elven scimitar flying!

Just... you can only disarm yourself.

I assume you know that you have a spell that disarm.

If ranges ever gets disarm then disarm should be recoded so it only works if you are wielding a melee weapon. (mabye it already is like that, but disarming with a bow would be stupid).

Dust devil works so infrequently it's not funny. And a ranger's job is melee, not casting. Look at the loss of damage while pending spell time takes

Hmm. It really doesn't seem to make sense that all the melee classes EXCEPT Rangers get disarm. I agree about the bow restriction though.

Oh lord, may I be so greedy as to request an offensive nature type spell for 10th circle ranger, shev? having two pass w/o trace is rather redundant :)

Disoputlip quoted in another (now locked) thread:

"I have seen ranger moving back to melee, that needs to go away."

I disagree.
I find it refreshing that Rangers are dualling melee moreso these days, even if the BS sword combo seems to be a cut above the rest of any combo they can come up with.
If anything, the BS sword combo proc frequency should be tuned down a touch, to help make all other ranger weapon combos pale less in comparison.
Especially if some kind of flurry / high-lvl extra attack skill is added to Rangers.

Bows & arrows were overpowered in the past, it's good that they tuned that down.
Perhaps tuned down a touch too much, but archery much more balanced now I think.
