    Huh.... I'll need some time to digest all of this, mainly wondering why GWF and GF are on the verge of a "fu-sion HA!"

    Good things to look forward too though. :3
    contents to be decided

    The companion stuff sounds right up by alley. The next question is when will it show up on PTS?

    Just the powers that come with that paragon path. And likely feats that are similar to the GF's paragon feats but tailored for a GWF.

    So does this mean all other existing 30+ classes will be given a free respec to see if we want to explore the new paragon paths?

    Does this mean we get account wide companions, which everyone wants. The update sounds cool, hope there is not campaign stuff like sharandar once was ok, new paragons are cool feel bit bummed for fighting classes though they might like this, hunter looks cool and like the sound of it, cant wait for the druid my favourite class.

    Wonder what the mount/companion will be for the Shadowmantle pack?

    great news, finaly a hunter (although not quite a true hunter)

    I just hope there is going to be alot of current game fix's before realease, otherwise it seems pointless bringing in another class and more paragons into a already badly broken and bugged game world.

    Don't know where you get badly broken and bugged game. I have been playing since release and have yet to encounter a bug. I have yet to have any lag, I have yet to have a broken launcher. No game will ever be free of bugs.

    Ranger I have been waiting for since the start.

    Given the new paragon paths available, I expect that they will.

    That's really amazing. :o The Artifact system looks cool, something i have discussed in the past with some ppl and had it in a possible suggestion, but now ill have to scrap the idea -__-' And im pretty sure a new wave of free respecs are coming together, since every timer a 'big change' in the game (currently) gave us the option.

    AND lets not forget, as soon the Hunter Ranger comes to preview, expect a new wave of crying due to the possible amount damage it can deliver... *headaches incoming*

    With no mention of the TR's second Paragon Path, I can't help but wonder if:
    1). It shares a path with the Ranger?
    2). It gets it's bow back?

    My wishlist pick for the next profession would be the Stone Fist Monk.

    Me too. I loved DDO because it had bows to cut down the enemies at a distance. The once combat problem with 4th Edition was almost all combat started at HTH range.

    Now I have to come up with a name for my Ranger. I'm sure there will be hundreds of Legolas and more Dritzz running around. Let's see......

    • (Fill in Blank) the Snowman Slayer
    • (Fill in Blank) the Snowmanbane

    If the Ranger's encounters will have separate cooldowns for their ranged and melee versions, I wonder what steps will be taken to balance them against all the other classes. Unless these encounters have cooldowns that are twice as long, or deal half the damage, won't this effectively double the number of encounters they get?

    I'm assuming that leatherworking will be added to, to include the Ranger, as well as weaponsmithing?

    ok i am writing this in hopes perfectworld, cryptic stops the renaming of Drizzt do'urden ... and any name varient ... i understand it shows you are a fan but this is a D&D and roleplaying game and original naming scores much bigger then taking a name from a book, movie, or other source of media ... and names that arent names also need to be redone and looked at ... like tankitall or beastdps, or healsalot types (not actually used in game but i have seen this or other varients in that fashion .... so please add a copyright naming thing

    maybe not a total different encounter, maybe a different at will, but probably the same encounter but a different set of bonuses/attacks depending on the weapon. kinda like a devoted cleric shifting his skills to divine mode
