Now, sure, it is mostly through subclasses, but what else would you call using Action surge and spending multiple superiority dice other than "a burst"? And it is at range too. And you have the arcane archer, who wasn't a great class, but did have bursting arrows. 2) If the ranger sucks are ranged burst... then who cares if the Paladin will be better than them at it? (Which also, they won't, as I showed in my math at the beginning). This is like claiming that making class that non-magicallu heals steps on the Rogues toes, because they are the only non-magical healer. Sure, maybe, but they suck at it and it isn't a focus on their class, so it isn't a niche that needs protecting. But... they DID redesign the ranger. The ranger for OD&D might honestly be one of the most powerful damage dealing classes in the game right now. Especially if they get weapon masteries (which they will). So, it isn't an exclusive niche. It isn't a niche the ranger cares about. And they DID redesign the ranger to be better. So what's the problem? Do you not feel the redesign went far enough? I'd tell you, it certainly didn't go in the direction of making them ranged burst damage dealers.</blockquote>
