Is a stealth assasin ranger still a viable option when camo comes in for hit-and-run tactics?

well yes ..
lets say Camo timer = 10 mins
1 kill = 950 rtps
950rps * 6 = 60mins = 5700 rpts * hour , play for 5 hours a day that = 28500 rpts ... obviously more if u can kill 2 targets .well rocking
So yes, Stealther sniper are still viable - but for 10 mins after the kill youre still in trouble .. so sprin FAAAAAAAAR away
later
elf out

there's basically just one main difference, and sadly this difference reduces the fun, the difference is that if you operate in one area for a while you WILL die to see hidden during one of those ten min spans... which means you can't play cat and mouse with the defenders, shame that one, but i think if you were patient enough between kills, and you moved around the frontier enough then perhaps.
but with the sheer volume of assassins poping up these days (including the one's still lvling up to rvr) there really wont be any possiblity, you will get hit by full groups of them the second you shoot most likely.
remember, see hidden wasnt designed for a situation where you have the sea of assassins that you have today, it was designed for the 1.36ish environemnt where there were just a few, not too few but just enough for see hidden to make things just a little more dangerous, but see hidden coupled with the assassin zergs that you have nowadays is just too much, dont expect to beat it soloing...

see hidden screwed all archers over cos its insanely powerful it made assaisns uber and now cos there uber everyone wants one. thankfully most will never leave BG1. they should make the restealth timer longer for assasins to readdress the balance that sadly isnt there anymore. very few scouts high lvl on albion these days same for hib i rarely see any high lvl rangers.
camouflage is too little too late and 10 mins is too long to reuse it so i dont think ill be makin a ranger anytime soon

Yes camo will be excellent for small fights with a moderate downtime inbetween them - in places such as odins/hadrians/ligen/svausad/sauvage etc - where there will be a natural downtime between your fights and not a constant run from one fight to the other.
Dont expect it to be a lotta use in emain except for at the quietest periods though :/

Good point about camo is that if you cant get a group, you will
have a chance to move to the different battles.
Sniping in emain is impossibel with camo, there are just to many
assasin chars these days, and they strike first and in general has the upper hand in melee. Even a scout with purge, ip and slam
will lose a good deal of the fights.
Sad thing is you still need very high modified stealth or you will be
dead in most normal fights in 0.0001 sec.
I doubt Mythic will fix the archerclasses tho, since most of those
who played an archer has left or started new ones. So why fix
a class who noones play ? And if noones plays then theres noone to complain about see hidden. I guess those who caused the
series of archer nerfs, just had more paying customers.
And yes you may shoot someone, earn rp, then die, then comeback, then shoot ....
Sounds like pretty boring xp farming ala some well know archers
on this server, altho in the old days they did not die that often
You might roll an archer on pvp tho, since you will be one of the few. On US servers noone bother to take see hidden to kill 1 scout on a whole server. Just a funny idea, where you might enjoy you sniper

I still like Rangers.... and if I could have my time again, I think I would still choose to play one...
Camoflage is not the answer to the see hidden problem..

i guess on a pvp server you could go stealth sniping from like day one or something well not quite, but if your hunting pepople from lvl 10 upwards, then even at lvl 24ish when you've had the chance to train some stealth then you will already see many greys if they take yer fancy .
did that sound vindictive? oops
