Vast majority of people won't have these items. Outside of turbo twinks, no ranger will have them for the majority of the time spent leveling.
Depends on guild I guess. I got my haste cloak at lvl 46 on my first trip to sky no joke.

Rangers fill a variety of roles when other classes aren't available.

-They are OK CC with root when there is room to move mobs around.

I'd never say no to a ranger in a pick up group because their tracking has brought me lots of loot.

So an island 4 quest and a VSR 100% drop = turbo twink. Gotcha~

raids like to bring 1 ranger to cast call of the predator and call of earth

track can be useful sometimes

other than that, everything else they do is done better by another class

Sweet parse but ...

60 Ranger with 13/17 raid drop 1hb and BFG (no longer obtainable). This is not representative of what the average ranger can expect. I love the ranger class. They are very capable. My point was that posts like:

Which automatically include epic, clickable haste quest item, and a fungi paints a disingenuous picture a thread asking about the role of a ranger. Yes it shows what is possible but it's not relevant for many out there.

Ranger have a good toolkit that makes them useful in groups. They do alright dps compared to other classes. They have a lot of utility and can fill a lot of gaps. They can tank, but others do it better. With good gear they are capable on raids

That's literally the 3 things a ranger needs* to solo to 60. Don't act like they aren't something every ranger is actively working towards.

Swarmcaller also provides non-epic slow. Swiftwind doesn't have a real bottle neck (VSR is fairly easy and up everyday). Rangers are lucky that hate is so heavily farmed for magi as it ends up generating a fair number of SEOCs too.

Fairplay the haste cloak can be tricky, mostly because it means familiarising yourself with people that are regularly doing sky and making yourself available at their times (if you want to max your chance to access the KoS piece).
