We need a Ranger-Buff.

Started a Playtrough as Durge/Ranger, picked Head Hunter and with my first level up Ensnaring Strike because otherwise Head Hunter Passiv cant be triggered.

For those who dont know: Head Hunter gives Enemies an disadvantage when they do a saving throw as long as they are ensnared via Ensnaring Strike.

However, Ensnaring Strike cost: 1 Action + 1 Bonus Action + 1 Spell Slot AND is a concetration Spell, meanwhile the Enemy has to do a STR (!) Save Roll to avoid/free himself ... did anyone check the enemies you face in all the Acts? Nearly every enemy has beyond 14 STR, one attack breaks your concentration and the costs to use the spell is ridicolous.

The cost for this spell is indeed ridiculous. It´s far easier to summon a spider and enweb targets and they can even be set aflame without wasting any action of your character or spell slot.

in a way i agree with you there are all sorts of things that could be done to improve ranger but i guess at this point it is what it is like with a lot of things larian made in a weird away...

staying with ranger i think Favoured Enemy, Natural Explorer are not that good at level 1 let alone at level 7 and are down right horrible at level 10 so that could be improved a lot... Then you have all the ensnaring strikes and similar stuff that should all be working like smite with popup - toggle. Hunters mark should just be pre packaged. concentration down right ruins that on...


Pets should be limited to 1 pick option out of 3 and then have that option have it's own itemization and not just cosmetic armor that does nothing.

Gloomstalker is all over the place on one hand you have the movement build that breaks the game totally and the other basically turns out to be just one extra hit per fight.... nothing to write home about.... and on and on i could go but like i said i dont think they will do much cos it looks like they even stopped patching the game even when still full of bugs...
