I want to give you all a heads-up about a change coming in the release that is going to affect Rangers, and especially those who play a Lifeblood spec. All 1-Handed weapons having a spellpower stat will become Mainhand ONLY items. While I know many people will view this as a nerf, this change was necessary in order to balance the healing power of the Ranger with the Healer class (who are unable to dual-wield).

I wanted to get this out there as soon as possible so that you guys know it's coming and aren't surprised about this change on release day. Also so that you could plan your itemization based on it.

Thank you in advance for your understanding, and I really do apologize for the inconvenience this will cause some players.

Problems?! Are you kidding me?! This is so going to break Lifeblood Rangers. ARRRRRRRGH!

Ok, all kidding aside, just a question: Are LifeBlood Rangers going to be impacted that much? I don't play one, and was considering respeccing to one after the launch, and was just curios if there was going to be that much of an impact.

It's intended to bring the size of heals in line with similarly equipped Healers. Right now they are a bit overpowered.

Yeah it really does impact us Lifeblood Rangers, and since the Dawning Gear for rangers is not intended for anyone who plays LB spec, now the good SP we can only get on our weapons is going too. The closest you can get as far as I know is the Dawning staff, and that's about 140 SP less than the daggers I have now - that's a huge loss.

Yeah, I see it as a nerf and this will definitely impact the way I am able to play.

Is there any plan to make ACTUAL LB Ranger gear or are we going to have to run around in healer/magus light gear now (if we plan to help heal in groups and not fight at all) and dump our hard earned Dawning gear?

One of the things I have on my priority list is itemization that supports various class specs. Lifeblood Rangers certainly need to have gear that supports their spec.

Thank you so much.. it's pretty embarrassing having to walk into a ranger pub wearing a healer dress...
