[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 8724310, member: 55816"] I do agree that the ranger characters tend to enjoy themselves. Its more a matter of rangers being "fine" while the others are "good". If you watch a ranger in battle, you'll see them doing fine. If you compare them to a fighter or paladin or barbarian in battle, you'll see the fighter/paladin/barbarian being a bit better at no apparent cost. The ranger comes in 4th place. But it isn't by too much, so it's not like a ranger is unfun or a liability. It just works out to being a bit below the others no matter what you do, assuming all things equal. This is exasperated by the beast master class having so many problems and highlighting how the Ranger needs a good subclass to keep up with the others enough to stay in 4th place. And for specifically the Hunter, I've never seen a Hunter that didn't take Colossus Slayer, that means there is something wrong. Every Hunter with Colossus Slayer is indeed a happy hunter because rolling an extra die feels good. And there are no unhappy hunters because "no" hunter ever takes anything other than colossus slayer. Seems a shame that those other cool features exist and no one ever takes them. [/QUOTE]
