Madscientist Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I do not know much about classes and game mechanics yet, but after his first level of fighter or rogue Eder must become a ranger so he always has something fluffy to pet. I will take the type of animal that has most hair. I hope there is an idle animation where rangers pet their pet. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxQuest Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Inb4 everyone takes a ranger as his second class and goes for Riptide & The Pit Fright build PoE1 useful stuff: attack speed calculator, unofficial patch mod, attack speed mechanics, dot mechanics, modals exclusivity rules PoE2 useful stuff: community patch, attack speed mechanics, enemy AR and defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerunner Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I hope there is an idle animation where rangers pet their pet. OMG, I would love that! My favorite class is the ranger just for the animal companion. I've been asking for more ranger/animal companion bonding from day one. This would just make my game.

Boeroer Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Now we'll have 3 ranger subclasses. I guess one of them is focusing on the animal companion. Maybe we'll even get a ranger who has (temporarily) more than one pet? You know, he makes some weird bird chimes and suddenly 5 wolves come out of nowhere and attack your foes or stuff like that. Summons basically... Flying wolves actually because... bird chimes.

blotter Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Maybe we'll even get a ranger who has (temporarily) more than one pet? I could muster some interest in a swarm ranger and the swarm could fit the bill by hatching larvae from the corpses of your enemies. I'm not sure Eder would enjoy petting them, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Nice idea. Swarm of crows would be nice. Or bats. Or rats. Or hamsters... Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madscientist Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 I vote for a ranger with a swarm of hamsters. Talking miniature giant space hamsters, of course. GO FOR THE EYES BOO ! ! ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Would that be a pack of hamsters? Or what's the correct term? Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlintlockJazz Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Would that be a pack of hamsters? Or what's the correct term? I just looked it up and oh my god it's awesome! The correct term for a group of hamsters is a horde! That's right, officially they form hordes! Boo: For the Horde!

Failedlegend Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I actually really love the idea of a "Swarm" Sub-class for Rangers...possible "Swarm" companions could be Bees, GMS Hamsters (or GMS Piglets), Bats, Snakes, etc. otherwise a "Swarm" Spiritshift would be cool too :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Swarm Spiritshift would be awesome! Don't know (yet) what it's good for though. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blotter Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) One way to go with it is lower damage output in exchange for attacks causing targets to suffer afflictions/penalties. Alternatively, it could be more about mobility/versatility - the druid might be able to split themselves up into separate collectives as they advance, for example. I'm not really sure that a swarm of flies/horde of hamsters/murder of crows/whatever else casting spells makes any sense, so maybe that should the tradeoff. Edit: Actually, I thought of Many-as-One just after I posted that. I say leave spells in so that we too can play the part of a supernatural hivemind.

Boeroer Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Would be cool if the swarm would be immune to pierce/crush/slash damage and did damage just by touching enemies. Like a moving harzard field that Dragon Thrashed is. But smaller of course. Basically like a walking AoE DoT spell. 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Galad Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hamsters should cause blindness on hit or crit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Failedlegend Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Maybe the Spiritshift focused archetype could get permanent shift and either gains the ability to use some equipment (thinking rings, necklaces, etc.) OR gains a Swarm Form which is immune to Disengage and causes DOT within a small AOE (the size of the swarm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerekKruger Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 On the topic of Spiritshift, perhaps Eder could take levels of Druid. Then he could always pet himself... okay that sounds wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroco Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I would be really happy if Eder had some special lines regarding his pet if the player decides to multiclass him into a ranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamNOOB Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I would enjoy it more if Eder becomes a gunpowder fighter. He just realized that guns are much better than old-fashioned swords or maces. So he just goes around and shoots people in the head. Using heavy armor of course to counter puny xaurip attacks - i.e. they try to pierce him with a pathetic spear but graze and then he shoots them [in the head as I said], ... So, do you like the idea?

Boeroer Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 No, doesn't sound like Edér at all. Maybe if he shoots them in the foot... Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blades of Vanatar Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Edér can always pet my beaver. Watch what you wish for. He might be a twohanded sword wielder.... you know what they say about Aedyrians.... No matter which fork in the road you take I am certain adventure awaits.

CENIC Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I never made a custom ranger, so I'm not familiar with the different types of pets and what their strengths are. If I'm planning to make Eder a Fighter/Ranger and still want him to be able to tank, which pet would be the best fit? Aloth massages his temples, shaking his head.
