Ranger wan-... NEEDS.

Come on, we can equip both trotters and wlegs. Kirin is always a bithc, fair enough, but nowadays trotters are a joke to get.

Compare 12% movement WITH melee being kited by a target TO a mob walking slow as hell with melee within melee/tp range to understand what i am saying. I may be speaking for every other ranger when i say i rather have a second defensive ability that isn't purely sub dependent. Even while soloing things a rng is soloing--for whatever reason a rng is soloing--boots made for running means you aren't attacking which defeats the point of soloing and as aforementioned ruins party damage/mp which brings us back to ranger needs.

You also have to consider party needs as a rng (non solo job for most of us) and the fact that once you WS and you jump to the top of the hate list, a mob is already toe-to-toe with your avatar even without movement enhance. Ask any ranger if what i say is true and they will agree.

I personally don't see why they don't allow you to move while shooting. So many other games let you do this, and it doesn't cause an imbalance issue.

I'm not certain but I think technically ranged attacks are a job ability and every job ability halts your movement when you activate it.

At times it feels like a cure IV spell if i stay still.

Ranger has no native self-healing (Such as Drg's Wyvern, Dnc's Sambers, Pld's Cures)

SE's gonna argue Bloody Bolts =/ Even though X-Bow is virtually obsolete.

Ranger has no native enmity-shedding ability (Such as Drg's High and Super Jump, Blm's Enmity Douse)
On top of that it's selection of -Physical Damage Taken gear is pitifully low. We can't equip the Darksteel+1 armor set, the Gavial/Hydra set, the Arhat's Set and none of the Heavy Armor options (Valhalla, Grim, Heavy Gauntlets, etc). The only gear we have access to is the same "All Jobs" equipment that everyone else has access to too.

I've been working on a PDT build for RNG, and it's kind of a start that they can equip both Terra's Staff AND a PDT Magian Bow/Gun. With PDT Rings, Twilight Torque, and Denali Wristbands (There's a few more 1%'ers, IIRC), PDT can get up there. It's still not anywhere near as easy to get as other jobs, though.

As far as enmity shedding in regards to Super Jump, I really really hope SE at LEAST lowers the level of Super Jump from 50 to 49 by the time the Lv.99 cap comes around.

I forgot we get a solid build but the bow we'd have to use A LOT ; ;

[noodles355]

Of course we can equip PDT staff and gun/bow but thn you're left with the troble of: Keeping gimpshit damage gear on fulltime or losing TP everytime you need to switch to PDT.
