How about it?

Well, Ranger's already taken by bard.
I mean, they're both similar. Just bard plays music while pew pew-ing.


Unless you're talking about a totally different Ranger than i'm thinking about then I have no clue.

Easy Ranger: Instead of 5 songs add 5 DPS attack/cooldowns

While bard and ranger are similar, they would be two different classes.

Ranger will hopefully focus on stealth and ambush with no buffing/debuffing singing. A warrior of the woodlands.

Each class should have two jobs, Ranger would be Archer's second job.

There will never ever be a ranger class. Bard is ranged, has no attacking restriction when moving, and to balance this, they need to buff casters and be buffed by drgs to earn their place in a raid.

If by ranger u mean bard but same damage as a dedicated dps? not EVER gonna happen and it should never happen. It would break this game completely lol. Imagine BLMs face when a bard is running circles around them, whilst doing same damage, and caster is rooted to the spot casting?

4 or 5 years from now there will be more classes than you think. at least 2 per job. ranger from archer sounds realistic to me but your going to be waiting at least another 2 years.

Please pay better attention to what you read and refrain from making assumptions. The ranger would be a different class from bard, just as Monk and Dragoon are different yet both still melee DPS. The ranger was already in the game at one point, it was just removed and we were given bard instead. A ranger would not have songs, a ranger would be a hunter of the wilds/forests rather than an entertainer who is good with a bow.

I'll try to make it more easier to understand. When people request ranger, they are looking for a class and is like a bard but with a different 'feel' than that of the bard. They still want a ranged DPS, but they want more of a dedicated DPS than one that also has songs that buff/debuff. They want a hunter, someone skilled in woodland survival and guerrilla tactics. For example, I want my archer character to be a forest sniper rather than a flamboyant fleet of foot singer. Thus I want a Ranger than the Bard we're all stuck with.
