skill change for rangers?

[mythbot]

I've been a nature ranger for awhile now and I realize that they are mana-hungry a lot. I also see that anti-mage rangers get a skill that gives them mp regen, when their attacks don't cost near as much mana. For example, anti mages get the rain of arrows, an aoe skill that costs about 34 mp per use. However, nature rangers have skills like improved scarlet fever, which does less damage, and costs much more mana, at 46. Quick heal, even at level 1, takes 60 mp per use. I was wondering, would it be possible to revamp the skill trees some? For example, I doubt most nature rangers put points into elven swiftness, maybe switch that with the mp regen skill? Or at the very least take it out of the anti magic shield part of the tree, so that nature rangers can stick points in it. Or perhaps change panic (which gives a chance to gain bonus move speed for a few seconds) with a regen ability? Like a 3 min cd mana restore or something. It's kinda annoying when i go oom so quickly. Nature rangers may have more survival over anti mage rangers, but when nature runs out of mana, what happens then? We are screwed. Lol

thats the weakness of the nature class- Its kept in for fair play i think however if your talking about changing a skill try changing dream trap into a stun trap, I mean - only a 4 second stun but our dream trap is so Complained about when one hit takes you out of it XD

You kidding me? Nature Rangers are based on fast movement. Elven swiftness 5/5 is a must for any pvp'er.
If you find yourself run out of mana too quickly use MP-pots since with using quickheal you save up on HP-pots again. Also once you reach lv80 get full slayers and you'll get a nice passive MP-regen. Nature outlives Anti-Mage cause we can restore HP, Anti-mage can't restore HP so they get a small passive restore of MP. Seems fair, no?

If any revamp happens keep the skills as they are, but only adjust the MP-costs.
The only thing I disagree on are the Magic Arrow-costs. 28mp p/0.9s (*the % of atk spd) just to attack something is a lot, even with orange slayer weapon your mp drains from it. Anti-Mage already has a stronger patk at all times (bows give less matk). almost leveling out the 2 default attacks, eventhough Nature still suffers from a high mp-cost and 50 less range.

every class has it's pro's and cons

Have to agree with speeds, WHO DOESN'T use elven swiftness in the archer class. Nubs, that's who, Even though I can totally back hand slap Speeds into a wall ;p

I see what you all mean. The mp regen on slayer's is nice, but basically you just gotta put up with the mana-hungry until you get it. With these arguments I agree that the skills probably are best left alone, but the mp costs on things are a little high on the nature side. Just to throw tidal arrow and improved scarelet fever out I use 110 mp off my 1600. It's basically if your not chugging potions every 20 sec, be prepared to use mana orbs.

Oh and i totally agree on the dream trap sleep changing to a stun(the stun timer would probably be reduced though, 15 sec stun is a little OP in my opinion) Really only reason I'm gonna put a point into that is so I can get anaconda trap.

At the above comment the stun would max out about 5 seconds. XD
