Coincidentally, Rogues are the most popular class in WoW. Stealth is just fun.


But serioulsy, I can see this as an attractive option for bounty hunters who want to be sneaky and gank some Jedi.

Cloaked Jedi smiles at Concealed Ranger/Bounty Hunter....


Wonder who will flinch first?

.....I so wanna be a Ranger now.... /drooooooooool.

Wanna be a snarky little bothan that steals things and has cats! YEA!

/so easily amused...sigh.

Lets all remember that they promised cool stuff for the Smuggler but have yet to come through on it. BH/Rouge would seem cool and it might be do-able (dont have the skill costs memorized form last time I was on), but dont hold your breath for it to happen anytime soon.

Other cool combo with this would be Rifleman/Ranger. You would be the ultamate sniper since it seems every thing but the rifle skills to make a good sniper will be in Ranger.

Im gonna probally drop some Rifles to get the Traps line in Ranger, but I wanna see whatelse is in the tree when it hits test center.

Well, it's all really cool and fits with the SW universe better, but I was going for Ranger with my alt for the tracking abilities. Bummer. Stealing is very cool though. The Blend In and new trapping abilities are very neat but seem like they might take some considerable skill to really learn how to use affectively.

Between this, the SL revamp, and the smuggler content being added in november, this is really kicking into high gear. There's no gimped classes left anymore after this goes live!


ranger/rifleman for the PERFECT sniper

ranger/BH would be the most "OMFG YOU FUCKING HACKER!" causing anti-jedi template lol

ranger/armorsmith....ok no that would still suck

I wouldnt say BH/Ranger would be ROXOR YOUR BOXOR, but it will be a strong template, Im thinking that if you Keep MBH and split your points between Rifles and Ranger then you got a Kick ass temp.No if the Ranger Boxes are filling with General ACC and SPD then Yes I agree I will be droping Rifleman for Ranger in a heart beat but Nothing is said yet as to how many General Ranged/Melee Acc is in their.

Looks like Smuggler is set to go and will be the following publsih, likely hitting November. While I know Smugglers will cry to no end that they've been waiting for a revamp since SWG came out, you can't argue that the playability of the class versus the current versions of Squad Leader/Ranger. While the content aspect of Smuggler is non-existant, the combat/spice aspects of the profession have been working well since the CU, the same of course can not be said for SL/Ranger.

What I am more excited about is that while implementing the Ranger Stealth optins, they are fixing Cloak! No more healing while cloaked!

It would at least smell good.

Smuggler/Ranger 4 teh cliche

[Jaminos]

Well to be honost there are mabey three ranger role playing charecters at most in our community. I am not saying it would be a good thing for to have 2/3 of us be rangers but it would be nice to see the ranger community flourish a little. I myself like the cloak ability for it helps in rp if you want to sneak up and listen to people.

Here's another intresting thing...

WesBelden - "Edit: The quote below indicates that Rangers could end up having missions designed to prevent Smugglers from successfully delivering their cargo (albeit for specific Smuggling missions with which the player is informed of the Ranger threat before accepting it)."

You won't be able to PvP steal from other players when the system launches. It is supported, but content hasn't been created to make us of this capability yet. If/When the content does go in, it will probably be more in the direction of the Bounty-Hunter/Jedi relationship - where someone (a smuggler, just for instance) would consent to carrying a stealable item (some illegal spice, just for instance), knowing another player will get a mission to try and come steal it from them. It's almost like a game of capture the flag (gotta write that one down!).

You won't, however, be able to take anything from anyone's normal inventory. For now, though - it's strictly a PvE ability (with the possibility of a PvP component down the line).

Smuggle?

With another player trying to catch you?!

[Ekade]

Ooh.. see, now THAT is cool.

I can't wait to see how they decide to implement this.
