Official Feedback Thread: Ranger Paragon Path: Pathfinder
Greetings Adventurers!
We are happy to announce that as part of Module 3: The Curse of Icewind Dale, we will be adding a second Paragon Path to Hunter Rangers – The Pathfinder.
Overview
The Pathfinder is a ranger who uses carefully timed strikes and preparation to aid allies and land devastating blows on foes.
The Pathfinder has the following Powers.
At-Wills
Ranged: Hunter’s Teamwork: You mark supplies that the enemy is carrying, marking them with Hunter’s Teamwork. If the foe dies while marked they drop supplies that any ally can pick up. Picking up these supplies heals all teammates and restores some Action Points. Only one foe may be marked by Hunter’s Teamwork at a time.
Melee: Careful Attack: You study your foe and foes near him, exposing weaknesses in their defenses. Enemies studied in this way deal slightly less damage and take bonus damage the next time they are struck.
Encounters
Ranged: Ambush: You gain Ambush and Stealth for several seconds. Ambush causes your next attack to deal bonus damage (this effect is reduced on AoE attacks). Ambush is cancelled early if you move. Stealth is cancelled early if you attack.
Melee: Bear Trap: Toss a massive Bear Trap at target location. This Bear Trap stuns and deals damage to any foe who steps on it. This Power has 2 charges.
Daily
Slasher’s Mark: Leap to your target with a Slashing Strike, marking your target. When you or your allies strike the marked target you restore Stamina or Guard Meter. Costs 100% of your AP.

Class Features
Battlehoned: When you are attacked you gain 100 Regeneration for 4 seconds. This effect does not stack.
Pathfinder’s Action: Activating a Daily Power increases your Run speed and Deflection Chance for several seconds.
Cruel Recovery: When you deal critical damage to an enemy you gain 1% of your Max HP as special Temp HP.
Feats
Archery: Quarry: You deal 1/2/3/4/5% bonus damage to targets affected by your Hunter’s Teamwork or Careful Attack At-Will powers.
Combat: Advanced Stalking: Your Ambush power can now last .5/1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds longer. Your Bear Trap now snares targets for .5/1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds.
Nature: Slasher’s Speed: The Action Point cost of your Slasher’s Mark daily is reduced by 5/10/15/20/25%. Pathfinder’s Action’s movement buff lasts .5/1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds longer.
In addition to the new powers above, several other powers are getting some fixes and changes to help them fit into their intended roles a little better.
Fox Shift: This power now only hits each target one time during its activation. Additionally, the power was erroneously ticking an additional time at the start of its activation and this has been fixed. To compensate for this change and the fact that the power now cannot strike a target more than once, damage has been increased by 33%.
Fox Shift: This power now correctly makes you immune to damage and control effects while you are jumping from target to target.
Thorn Strike: This power has been reworked slightly. This power now has a 5' cylinder (up from 3'), a 13' reach (up from 11'), and has had the damage bonus reworked. This power now gains increased damage as enemy health diminishes. Additionally this bonus has been increased to a maximum of 30% (up from 15%).
Forest Meditation: Rank 3 now correctly retains the Rank 2 bonus.
Split Shot: The damage of this power has been reduced by 45%.

Guess I won't be spending anything on my HR now.:(
Aelar Hawkwind - Archer
Karrin Feywinter - Mistress of Flame
Errin Duskwalker - Executioner
Darquess - Soulbinder
However, very few people will get past the nerf to Split Shot, assuming it is confirmed to be correct.

Examples:
Bug: Slasher’s Mark
I am not getting Stamina when striking a target who has Slasher’s Mark.
Feedback: Hunter’s Teamwork
The heal feels too small to use in most cases, but the AP restore felt really good.
Please try to play for a few hours to get a good feel for new powers. Thank you again for all your help Adventurers! We look forward to hearing back from you!

Instead of trying to bring other at-will (rapid shot, electric shot) on par with split shot, they nerf split shot to those mediocre at-wills' level. How is that helpful for HR class which is struggling in competing at end-games???
We HRs need to rally and get on the preview server and send tons of feedback.
There is absolutely NO REASON for this nerf to cut our damage down to almost HALF! WHAT THE FK!!!!
Seriously, this class doesn't even have 3 paths yet and they are destroying the one **** at will that makes ANY sense to help with cleaning up the mass mobs..other than that it's useless!
Doesn't have a big impact in PVP, you have to use 2x the gear to get similar DPS as most other classes and now we will be TOTALLY USELESS!
I guess this is what you get for a free to play game that doesn't give a **** about its player base and wants pretty much a TANK WIZ AND HEALER to be the primary group makeup. Last time I checked the GWF kicks our *** in dps and oh ya hey have HEAVY METAL GEAR PROTECTING THEIR ***!!
This is ridiculous...absolutely uncalled for, not needed and a Class Killer! I have spent over $300 on this game with ZEN and blood sweat and tears and countless **** hours crafting and this is the reward ... this is ****ING BULL****!!!!
FIX THE ****ING CLASS!!! STOP BREAKING IT!
TR's and CWs complaining bout our DPS .. WHAT THE **** PLANET ARE THEY PLAYING ON!!!
Seriously!!!
Pointless. Reading the dev's idea of balance makes it clear that they do not listen to feedback at all. As I have pointed out numerous times in these forums. If devs listened to feedback they would not do the things that they do. Our opinions mean less than dirt as far as the actual outcomes of updates...
sad but true, just dont really wanna give up on this... would like to think devs can possilbly change their minds...guess we ll have to wait and see !
And just like in that game, player feedback will probably mean nil to them. "Weknowbetteritis" is a common disease in that company.
I'm glad I started playing less and less after the pvp update. This just made me uninstall and free up some hard drive space.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the next character they release will get nerfed just as bad as this after they make thier initial money off of it.
I could not have said it better myself. I'ts ****ing unbelievable, uncalled for, and totally unfair.
