What if you disallowed shooting while in a wall? I feel like disabling the Ranger's best offensive capability would go a long way to keeping people from abusing it.
You could disable attacking as...

That's true. I guess a question to ask ourselves is: "Do we want stat allocation to be optimal, or good enough that a player new to the class isn't inordinately screwed and is able to enjoy the class...

Does it need to be anything remotely fancy? Why not make it data driven. For each stat you specify how many stat points should be spent on it. So warrior could look something like (numbers are...

In mys experience, Single Combat is good against Morgoth if you are overprepared. Basically, it makes it less likely you will make a LOS mistake that would get you killed.
