Can we expect a ranger class?

Dragneel1207

with necromancer coming now this year, can we expect the a ranger class (btw not warden)
I mean i saw some mobs in selene web dungeon using warhorn to summon a lion

Edaphon

Unlikely. Warden is the closest we'll ever get.

Bouldercleave

My bet is Warden is about the closest you are going to see.

Dragneel1207

he summoned a damn lion we summon a stupid bear

russelmmendoza

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Full on range class.
With 2x bow, animal summons, nature ability.

I have faith we will see another class eventually, but it's a ways off with the necro coming.

Dragneel1207

maybe they should sell polymorphs of the pets atleast

Tjey can always introduce skins for the warden pet....wonder why they havent

Earrindo

The absence of skins for warden and sorcerer pets remains a profound mystery to me.
I can see at least 70% of all players of those two classes shelling out crowns to choose a different look for their pet.

I would drop 10k crowns easy on a full pet skin assortment pack, with many color and species options available. I would spend 1200 Max for a single skin unlock (as long as it's a wolf, white preferably ^^)
And I'm not even a whale, I just have a strong headcanon connecting my warden to wolves, not bears, and I'd gladly pay for a wolf ultimate skin.

Sorcerers I just feel bad for. They have 2 purple ugly daedra. They deserve to use atronach skins at the very least. Skyrim only had atronach summons, so it seems unfair that ESO Sorcerers only get uggo purple scamps and twilights.

Anyway, sorry, not the right thread.
Re: the OP, I doubt we will see a ranger class specifically. Rangers/hunters (a la LotR and WoW) are too specific. What would a mag ranger be?
Wardens are pretty much it, and they are one of the better classes to run bow/bow on anyway.
Check out some of the bow/bow warden builds on Alcast or..Xynode I think? Very viable in almost all content, and feel very ranger-y

You literally just described a bow/bow warden. And don’t tell me they’re not viable. People complete vMA this way.

teladoy

all classes can be and are also Ranger excepting DK.

Jameliel

Probably not, only nerfs to snipe.

Nemesis7884

The only future classes i could see would make as much if not more sense via skill line...such as dwemer tec or bard...so i kinda doubt we will see another new class in the future but i will be happy to be proven wrong

ccfeeling

More classes are always welcome .

Ranger , Bard , Monk

RANKK7

Well, for new classes you should start opening a bunch of threads periodically here in the forum like they did for Necro and get some fan boys support or some friends with multiple accounts to add heavy whining, lame memes and all the jazz.
It seems ZOS pays attention then.

My DK makes a great bowman. Poison abilities cost reduction is great. Pew-pew-pew!

I don't think Ranger would add anything which doesn't already exist.
For example I'm sure zos could add crown store items to change the appearance of the bear to other animals on warden.
Bow and fighters guild provides ranged skills and traps.
Nightblade if you want a more stealthy style.

Vs for example monk / bard

If you look at the ranger class from dungeons and dragons (the game most mmorpgs take reference from) you'll notice that the ranger class is split between many different skill lines in Eso, for example..

Trap beast
Hunters mark
Silver bolts
Camo hunter
The bow skill tree
The warden class (basically a beast master ranger)
Trapping webs
A few more nightblade skills

Basically the hunter class already exists in Eso, it's not very good due to the skills being spread across various classes and skill lines unfortunately. For this reason I doubt they'd release a whole separate Hunter class

As other people have said it's highly unlikely they'll add a whole new class when the warden is basically a ranger already. There would be too much cross-over and it would end up being redundant.

Also if the problem you have with the warden is that their only summonable animal is a bear then I think skins for it would be a much easier solution, and more likely. As other people have said I'm not sure why it hasn't already happened - we got one reskin with Morrowind Collectors Edition, which currently sits in its own menu. That seemed to imply there would be more coming and I know a lot of people, myself included, would be prepared to pay crowns for different animals, but for whatever reason it's never happened.

Expect? We alrdy have it: it's called the Warden

Not bloody likely.
A stamina warden with ample fighters guild skills mixed in is already as rangerlike as you can get in ESO!

At best, they might someday allow us a specialization option that lets wardens decide if they want to be more "druid" (extra plant magic), more "cryomancer" (extra ice magic) or more "ranger" (extra animal magic), which would be a nifty thing. And they could then also use those specializations to change the base class name into an "advanced class" designation...
(Gods, how I would love to see that! More class diversity would be such fun!)

What can a Ranger class bring to the game that is not already there? I really can't think of anything.

Monk would certainly bring something new. So would Bard, even if it is only enhanced victimhood.

Warden is the ranger in the game...

This, its so much cool stuff they could sell for crowns. How cool would it be for an an Khajiit warden with an senche.

And just getting the sorcerer pets to have better colors, granted it could be confusing some places but easy to turn off or even select an more visible color.

I hope we will see a bard college skill and questline...i think that would fit very well...something focused on group support and synergies

JESUS = yes!

I'd pay for them! More variety!!!!

ArchangelIsraphel

Honestly I'd like to be able to skin my wardens skills with a stag that loweres its antlers at enemies! Warden skins are an excellent idea, especially when it comes to animals like lions, tigers, and wolves

That being said I get the strange feeling that ZOS has not implemented this out of fear that the other classes that do not have animals will be annoyed that they cant use the skins/dont have animals of their own.

Would be nice if sorc could also skin their daedra, one of the main reasons I don't have a sorc is because I dislike the aesthetic of the pets

Ranger doesn't mean automatically they use bow as their only weapon. Most other mmo's like eq or vanguard had besides a bow skills also dual wield for rangers.

I think what should set rangers apart is
- Camping
- Trapping skills
- Tracking (player tracking in PvP like SWG had)
- Arrow fetching (only for special arrows like flame arrows) but we need a quiver for that.
- animal taming. For 1 or 2 companion pets.
- camouflage (chameleons spell) not like cloak of course. In PvP name tag should disappear.
