[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 1585234, member: 7464"] I think that's the problem right there. Everybody seems to have a different concept of what a "RANGER" should be. The new class trys to satisfy everybody while making the class balanced, but ends up satisfying [i]nobody[/i] 100%. The "basic four" classes - the Wizard, Fighter, Rogue, and Cleric are all very customizable. You can use them to represent lots of different archetypes. I've seen Rogue used for both a Prostitute-turned-Assassin and a James Bond style agent. I've seen Fighter used to build a foppy rapier-wielding artist and a hulking axe-wielding brute. Wizards have school specialization and an infinite number of possible spell lists to act as customize-candy for a creative player. Clerics are as different as the gods they worship, and Domain abilities are icing on the cake. Rangers are stuffed in a mold, and it's never been customizable enough to satisfy all the ranger fans out there. The other "niche" classes seem to fill roles that are universally accepted archetypes, but debate about what a ranger really IS rages on. [/QUOTE]
