Velocity Shot would still be dope and still help with the TP gain with melee attacks bit.

This is also another idea I could get behind. The problem right now is we interrupt party flow, which in the end people will not want to invite us to things because of it.

I think setting their melee skills (axe and dagger) to E would be more acceptable, as my only gripe with gutting Ranger's melee capability completely (setting all skills to 0 for example) would be how it affects something like Kclub Rng w/ Anni or Culverin. Though it is very rare to see, it was still something that was regarded as one of the if not the highest DPS possible in a meripo setup - at least on retail. Since Ranger's club skill is already E, then nerfing their other skills to E would at least leave KC Rng alone while still achieving the change Nas wants to see with the job.

But yeah this or Exelyon's suggestion of just having ranger's melee attack round delay countdown reset after each ranged attack are both solid suggestions I think Nas should at the very least take into consideration.

I think a severely nerfed velocity shot with a distance rollback is a solid idea.

+100% melee delay, -5-10% Ranged Delay.

Solves the melee tp issue, gives rng tp a tiny bit faster to compensate. Boom solved

Or he could just severely decrease the threat that ranged attacks do. This would allow us to shoot from range like he wants and not screw the rest of the party for doing so. However this does not change ranged issues with other jobs like thief.

Sheeeeeiiiitttt... I mean, we could get Robb Stark to do it. He had zero probs going thru Lord Karstark with one clean stroke!

But how the ef am I supposed to pretend I'm Legolas if I can't hit anything with my melee attacks?

Nas specifically said he always felt that "swing swing, and then shoot your bows, swing swing, shoot your bows" is wrong. Do you take that to mean that he's okay for RNG to become whiff whiff, shoot your bow? I mean, it is cool that you're floating ideas, but consider your audience.

Also, kind of a side question: was vulcan staff for RNG nerfed, too?
