Dark ranger must be redesigned like Oracle priest will be
Let’s see what the “flavorful” talents that make you dark ranger do! I will expose every one of them:
Black arrow - for BM this is the currently existing “Wild call” talent! exactly the same effect, and for MM this is a weaker version of the current “Lock and Load” talent
Dark hounds - this is the “Dire beast” BM talent - same effect (probably purple recolor)
Withering fire - this is the “Legacy of the windrunners” MM talent - same effect (probably purple color)
Dark chains - this is a weaker version of an old Mists of Pandaria talent that rooted on disengage, but this one will instead slow just 1 enemy for a measly 40%!
So there it is! All 4 of the “flavorful” talents exposed - these are redesigns and worse versions of talents we already have today as hunter!!!
This is dark ranger to you? The best you can do???
Scrap it! We don’t need this. We already have all these abilities in the game today! This talent tree is a disgrace
So the “we” in “we don’t need this” is just you for this statement, that you made in this thread.
Also saying “scrap it” without even giving any kind of constructive feedback as to what your ideas would be to make Dark Ranger better, is just utter pointless and just makes this thread a whine thread, rather than a feedback thread.
I’m sure that the developers will listen to Joe Nobody over here and scrap a whole aspect of the TWW project, just because you don’t want it.
Come on, at least put some effort into these threads, when there is something you don’t like. Spitting out your dummy because it’s not the way you like it, doesn’t help the developers, it doesn’t help you and it doesn’t help the community as a whole.
So come on Killartist, what is your version of Dark Ranger? What talents would you create, that fits this archetype role? I’m asking because it seems that you personally believe that you know better than the creators of the game, so please enlighten us all.
I’m not a game designer and I’m not paid to come up with solutions to game design problems. It’s their job - the developers.
As a player my responsibility is to say it as it is - that all the “new” dark ranger talents are actually talents we already have today, just with different names
Unfortunately with that attitude, if everyone else did the same, nothing would be changed/fixed with the feedback given by the community.
Saying something needs to be scrapped, why? The developer may not see eye to eye with your opinion. But if you were to say “x talent as it is now just doesn’t make sense and I think that if y did z and then it combined with a, b & c, it would just overall feel & look better without overly making it overpowered or underpowered. It thus would felt that style of a dark ranger better.”
You’re a paying customer of a product and you don’t want to show any sign of wanting to improve the quality of the product.
What you provided was no feedback in the sense of what kind of feedback that Blizzard would actually like to receive from the community.
Frankly Id be happier if they just ‘copy/pasted’ all the abilities to equalize the DPS or utility then made the visual effects wildly different and unique.
We already have a talent tree, IMO this new tree should be purely cosmetic.
