Since the declared design goal is for the AC not to be significant damage dealers ( the results are obvious - low base "weapon" damage, awful attack speed, weak damage/accuracy scaling with level) - what is the purpose of the AC damage boosting talents  ?..  

 

Invest 5 talents (..waste) into them and AC are still not going to do significant amounts of damage .. 

 

They would make much more sense if they would affect both parties of the symbiotic relationship (ranger / AC) and thus apply the bonuses for both the ranger and AC .. Could lower the actual bonus amounts, add extra contains like only activate when attacking the same target if that would make the rangers too strong ..

this should probably be in the general discussion, since it's not really a bug issue.

but it's worth discussing, to be sure.
