just because im kinda new to GWG forums he closes my first one. so, orriginal suggestion...make preperations, i want to say, Dual-aplicable. be able to have 2 preps on at once for rangers. it positivly horrible having to switch back and forthe from seeking arrows to chocking gas and wasting the 15 energy (10 with my expertise) to hit people with my build

[disrupting shot][hunters shot][choking gas][seeking arrows][practiced stance] Ect...i got others but i dont feel like typing anymore :P

anyways. tell me what you think of Dual preparations

This would be waaay overpowered.

My main is a ranger, and have run almost every preparation in different builds. 2 preparations would be like having 2 elites.

EDIT: if you want more power, i would suggest trying skills from other classes. preparations are only one piece to the ranger puzzle...

-try conjure lightning for a (removable) power boost (my fav of the 3 because of the sound lightning makes when it hits)
-flail or frenzy can emulate rapidfire, but its not quite as consistant
-just about any weapon spell from the rit bar...they are like preparations but cost more and dont last as long

It's a balance issue, just like you can only have 1 weapon spell on at a time. They can't be removed, and it'd be to powerful if they stacked.

As said by others, it would be too overpowered. I'm quite comfortable with using different preps with different builds. I don't want them nerfed to hell just have 2 on my bar.

Unfortunately, this is a "I want more power" suggestion. Those tend to not last long.

You're better off finding a build where you don't have to worry about swapping preparations. And remember, Expertise reduces the cost of preperations.

Unblockable ranged AoE interrupt would make casters cry, especially when your team has any sort of snare. More so when when it's on every arrow.

this would be crazy overpowered, because every ranger and his mom would have [Apply poison] and [barbed arrows] to give 7 degen every shot without useing an elite. picture that with cripshot or BHA.

Hell no. If this goes through, I'd have no reason to laugh at rangers who Apply Poison+Read the Wind in RA.

Yeah, I can see why it would be closed. Asking, "Can you make this profession crazy imbalanced so my build is more convenient to me?" isn't a good way to please the mods. Show how it would be good for the game(which you can't, for reasons mentioned above), not just how it makes your bad bar better. Or a mediocre elite, for that matter.

BTW, there better be a D-Shot in that bar.

Actually, his other one was closed because he posted it in the wrong forum. He was redirected here.

Going to have to agree with "stupidly overpowered".

There is a reason your threads are closed. You obviously don't have much of a clue on how GW is played and handles.

It's obvious your a noob, and not that it's a bad thing, we were all there once.

Thread was closed for posting it in the wrong section, not because it was a bad idea

Anyway, no. You shouldn't need to swap preparations at any time. If your enemy is blocking you, switch to a different target. And if you are using choking gas for it's interrupt, the interruption will still happen if the arrow is blocked.

Not only that but two preparations would be INSANELY overpowered. Apply + Barbed arrows, Apply + Incendiary arrows (yeah yeah, lolololol don't use incendiary nub. still though, 11 degen per attack is pretty formidable), RtW + Apply, etc. This would almost be as bad as asking for Barrage to not remove preparations.

Maybe you should not run 2 preps. 1 prep per bar=ftw. waste of a skillslot to bring 2 preps. This thread is phail with a capital J

Would be overpowered. The reason preparations don't stack with each other is because they are designed and balanced around allowing only one up at a time (just like stances).

Your other thread was likely closed because it was made in the wrong place. Savio even explained why it was closed (it was posted in the wrong forum).

Also, ranting against mods isn't really allowed... so this might get closed too. The mods aren't "out to get you." They just want you to figure out the forum so they can keep things somewhat organized.

You must be very good to get posts closed here if you're actually making a suggestion. Generally the only ones closed are repeat suggestions or completely idiotic ones. I think yours falls into the completely idiotic category.

/not signed for the already stated over power.

but why does everyone keep using RtW + Apply, id love Rapid Fire with Expert Focus for very rapid fire cheap energy attacks

then you only need run marksmanship + expertise, more points in each

anywho back to original point, just try changing your build around a bit to find preparations that best suit your playing style.

You can always just use a PvE skill if you want overpowered. "Dodge This!" would work for Seeking Arrows. And so you know, Choking Gas will still interrupt if blocked, as the gas part still takes effect.

Given the combinations that are possible, that can be incredibly overpowered. It could also be incredibly stupid, as you'd have Wammo's with Defy Pain and Healing Hands.

Still, one preperation is enough.

tryhardernexttime as the same thing was posted several times already,

back on topic:
notsigned, due to obvious reasons. One preperation is powerfull enough as it is, and just like with weapon spells, they're limited for balance.

Now you Choking Gas will hit, but it still interupt wether you hit or not so who cares. PLus there are many many other ways to combo up things that could be done with the preps by useing a prep and a single skill.

This would be as bad as being able to have 2 stances, or 2 weapon spells, or hold 2 item bundles, or being able to have 2 of each spirit at the same time.

If they set only one, it has an explanation.
