Shadow RangerEdit

---

Personally, I would like to envision a Shadow Ranger hero class in a future World of Warcraft expansion. It could have the ranged damage and DPS of a Hunter, the ability to stealth like a Rogue, and the DOTs of a Warlock. The Shadow Hunter could have the following ideas for the Talent trees:

Shadow: This talent tree would focus on the Shadow Hunter's DoTs and the damage they dish out with their shadow spells. Also gives the Shadow Hunter the ability to stealth and increased stealth, basically replacing Aspect of the Chameleon, but Aspect of the Chameleon is upgraded until(maybe)lvl 60 when you get stealth from this tree.

Marksmanship(like the Hunter's):This talent tree would focus on all the damage they deal at range, as well as increasing their range at which they can shoot(kind of like the Hawk Eye talent at the beginning of Survival).

Don't have an idea for a third talent, it should have something to do with Aspects though, hope you guys can help me.

A small list of possible spells/skills(undecided on whether or not to use Mana or Focus, and by the way, most of these were the idea of whoever made the page Hero_Class_ideas, I am not claiming these in my own in anyway,though I have modified almost all of them, the ones with =own= marked on them are the ones I came up with):

• Crippling Shot - Incapacitates the target for 8*s.*
• Searing Arrow - Instant fire damage and DoT.*
• Frost Arrow - An arrow that freezes a 10 yd area, causes a bit of Frost damage and reduces movement speed of all enemies by 75% for 5s.*
• Whistling Shot - Makes a noise that scares all enemies in an chosen 10 yd area for 5s.*
• Aspect of the Chameleon - Puts the Shadow Hunter in a lesser stealth mode, but you can't get closer than 5-10* yds to an enemy.*
• Aspect of the Dragon - Increases spell power by 100-175* and all resistances by 125-200*.
• Aspect of the Owl - Buff that increases Intellect(or attack power, depending on if Shadow Hunters use Mana or Focus) and spell/skill critical chance by 3-9*%.*
• =own=Leech Sting- Similar to a Hunter's Viper Sting, this sting takes away the targets health for 15*s and gives it to the Shadow Hunter.*
• =own=Piercing Shot- A shot that deals 200% ranged weapon damage and makes the target bleed for rank damage over 30* seconds, basically the Shadow Hunter's version of Kill Shot. Target must be below 50% health.*
• =own=Nature Shot- A shot that deals instant rank nature damage.*
• =own=Shadow Strike- A melee attack that deals 125% weapon damage plus shadow damage.*

All spells/skills with an * are talent-improved.

Feel free to add in any ideas, but dont delete anything please, post it above this and make sure you label it as yours.  :)
