Debating making a Ranger

[Kender]

you can twink a monk better with 4k than an sk.

here's a good start. (not all slots listed cause i couldnt be bothered)
about 2k worth gve or take

wu's quivering staff 150-200
2x 5ac/55hp rings 500
sarnak-hide mask 100-150
Foreman's Tunic 150
Azure Sleeves 50-100
Sapphire Electrum Earring 160-200
Griffon Talon Gloves 60
Executioner's Hood 400
Gatorscale Leggings (campable on your mage and great xp for them)
Sapphire Platinum Necklace 350

I couldn't agree with this statement more, since it seems you play on both servers.
You will find a lot of ranger hate on blue from the min-maxers. You will be welcomed
into groups on red.

Some gear suggestions (some already mentioned):
+55hp rings
Hero Bracer
Sword of Skyfire
Green Jade Broadsword (i prefer a DW-ing ranger myself)
Hooded Black Cloak

Rangers are great pullers, can tank in a pinch, and do some solid
crowd control with root/snare/flamelick.

Good luck!

I actually did make a ranger on red last night, my only problem is I don't have any wealth built up yet on Red, but I guess that is a good part of the fun. Maybe I'll just keep him there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for the tips! I actually already have a monk that I have tried out, I just wasn't sure of their solo capability at later levels, is it pretty good? He already has the rings and a couple Trance Sticks, and some raw silk stuff. Think monk would be better for solo play?

monks pre 50 can kill stuff that's blue to them easy enough on 50% health with the right weapons. theya re also bind wound capped at 200 instead of the 100 that warriors and rogues are. that + mend means they have smaller amounts of downtime than other melees. and FD is an XP saver if it looks like death is looming

p.s. and they are always wanted in groups

1. After selling gear and such from my chanter I should have close to 4-5k to spend gearing up a Ranger, will that be sufficient to be self-sustaining should I need it? I tend to solo a lot because I am usually quite busy and rarely have time to sit in a group.

2. How good is bow-kiting? Will it be torture with how slow the exp will come or is it actually pretty decent?

3. What is your favorite part about the ranger class?

4. Goes along with question 1, but any gear suggestions?

1. be sure you can afford woodsman's staff at 20 (once the dmg cap goes away). You will be using that shit for quite a while and since you're gung-ho about soloing, you want ass-beating capabilities

3. They take death touches. Also the beautiful green armor
