Default Rangers in Velious?

I was wondering if anyone knew if Rangers get any love in Velious, aside from the spells listed on the wiki site? Ive heard other classes get really nice buffs, but havent heard much about Rangers?

The Ranger, Shadow Knight, and Paladin all see significant improvements during the Velious era. Most of these improvements didn't happen until a few months into the expansion. What I recall for Rangers:

Disciplines
Offense cap and damage tables made the same as a Warrior's
New spells
Removal of hybrid experience penalty
Improved itemization

I'm probably forgetting some, but those are the major items to look forward to.

Awesome thanks for that! More dmg to look forward to if I roll a Ranger then!

Oh yeah, I also forgot hybrid spell casting haste. That helps some as well.

They get one of the coolest looking weapons in the game, from Vulak. Unique graphic.

That counts for something, right?

The ability to SOLO fear kite animals properly is also a great upgrade.

Yah, Rangering gets significantly better in Velious. we are not going to see the archery upgrades that were the single biggest game changer for us, but still weaponshield, panic animal, and the removal of the killer exp penalty are pretty good deals. In fact, I more or less parked myself at a good level for Velious to wait for it.

Must say I'm surprised at the responses in this thread. With the racism against rangers on this server I thought they would be hated forever. May consider making my alt a ranger.

Don't get your hopes up. Things will get better, but you will always be the brunt of jokes and discrimination from some. It does provide a good way to tell the tards from the decent folk, though.

Haha makes me think of "Ranger Gate...."

I remember back in '99 lots of players were under the impression that Ranger was a tanking class...
