It would be nice if...

I could regain stamina while mounted on a beast.  It's not that exerting to sit on a horse so I don't see why a bettle or erdlu would be.

I could fight critters without running in circles through twenty rooms to tire them and my mount out.

I have always loved this idea, at least up to 60% of max stamina.  I don't think you should get completely rested, because it does take a good bit of effort to conrtol a mount, but after a long day of mining 'sid, the ride back to the city should be quite refreshing.

skills Sneak / archery / throw?
Plus I love role playing chasing something through the bush (when I have the time and the reason to do so).

I think a retooling of the ranger class would be very nice. Including tracking/sneaking skills and making them more survivable in combat with animals.

As it is right now, tracking and sneaking skills are much more useful if you're running and not riding.

And no, Desert Elves are not the Nazi uber race with a monopoly on outdoor stealth.
Now you're looking for the secret. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to be fooled.

Are you saying that you think they should be easier while you have a mount? I'm not exactly sure what you meant.

I think the mechanics need to be more streamlined. I don't want to have to type dismount every time I use the track skill and then remount again.

Stealth I'm a bit fuzzy on, it's been a couple of years since I've played a ranger so I could be wrong. But my impression is that no mounted rangers even bother with it.

So yeah, I think they should be retooled to be made useful.

Actually, crafting recipes for songs would truly be the shit.
