Could you do something to make Hybrid Rangers more viable? I do not like to play sniper and I do not like playing full melee. When you nerfed our bow damage, you made specs with 35 or 40 bow not viable anymore. The current meta rangers need to group up and add on fights to get rps. We cannot 1v1 against assassins. Even if we had IP 5 we are one trick ponies for 15 mins. I'd take more spec points or even a frontal snare. Some Hybrid specs are
42 PF, 40 bow, 34 pierce, 18 CD and 33 stealth
40 PF, 35 Bow, 34 Pierce, 29 CD, and 33 stealth
42 PF, 35 bow, 39 blades, 18 CD, and 33 stealth
Ideally I'd like to have enough points to have at least 45 in bow and 29 in CD. For every 5 skill points in bow you pick up another 30 to 40 points in damage. Right now as a ranger you are either sniper spec or you are some melee spec where you don't even have composite 50 stealth. I don't want to play a melee ranger as the bow is the primary benefit of the class.
48PF, 50 Bow, 10 blades, and 32 stealth (cookie cutter spec that most rangers are)
Maybe instead of nerfing bow damage, you should have nerfed specifically rangers running around in the BG with druid and bard buffs. I'm sure you could cap buffs to have a value of combined forces pots casted on people. And please make volley more viable again. You nerfed volley into the ground so hard that no one even uses it anymore. A 30 second timer would be fine on volley and given that people can't ground assist other people it would take time for people to have to find their own ground targets. Either remove volley from game or fix it to a lower timer or else reduce the rps cost to purchase it because right now it isn't worth spending 8 rps for it.
You gave Hibernia a bonus to rps recently. And maybe that's because about 30 days ago you nerfed a few of our classes and people who invested their time and effort went to play other realms.
