[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9057635, member: 6801228"] Dear Players, we realize we made the ranger actually fun to play and you all loved it. We apologize for this misstep and have applied the nerf hammer liberally to correct it. It won't happen again. [RIGHT]-WoTC[/RIGHT] Seriously, what the heck?! I haven't read the subclasses yet, but holy crap. If I have a choice between cantrips and weapon mastery, give me cantrips! They are so much better. I guess the Deft Explorer is fine, only getting half the expertise you used to, but why not just give advantage on survival checks within the terrain instead of only when tracking creatures. There is more to survival than tracking. Hunter's Mark... I hate all of this. 1/turn, costs higher level spell slots to get better damage, and a return to concentration?! Yes, you get free casts, but those casts are 1st level, which maxes you at +1d6. And THEN your capstone relies on you attacking someone with Hunter's Mark, so let's just take a gander at all the spells they DON'T want you casting as a ranger. Because they WANT you using a 5th level slot to maintain 24 hours of concentration on Hunter's Mark.

Fine, I can believe that because it was actually good. But if you are going to make the capstone rely on it, then you need to make casting it with a 3rd or 5th level slot make it non-concentration. Also, since I am ranting, Conjure barrage needs to be 6d8 to meet expectations for a 3rd level spell, and Conjure Volley needs to be 10d8. And so I'm not all negative, I did like the change to Nature's Veil. But other than that? WHY! [/QUOTE]
