Classes on p99

[thrawnseg]

I was going to be restarting on here and had a few questions from reading the threads...

Are Ogre Shaman bugged to not have frontal stun immunity?

Is taunt still screwed up, making paladins and SK's more desirable tanks?

Is the 1-5/10/15 grind still in place? I remember it taking like about 4-5 hours to get level 4 before.

Why are rangers hated? I've heard they are shunned by groups. Is it from the melee problems the server had, or are they just inderpowered until Velious?

Thanks for the replies!

Yep, just like classic.

Yep again, just like classic - but I wouldn't say "hated". What would the world of Norrath come to without Ranger jokes???

Someone who plays well is usually welcome no matter what class they are.

Someone else would be better qualified to answer your other questions.

To my knowledge, Ogres do have this ability.

Yes, SKs and Paladins hold aggro much better than warriors.

Yes.

They don't bring anything special to a group. Inferior tanking, inferior, DPS, inferior spells. 40% exp penalty. There's no reason to have a ranger around until after Velious, which this server will never see.
