Is leveling a ranger the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than leveling a ranger. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are grinding, gearing, skilling and factioning a ranger for at least 6 months to a year solely so it can go and get ravaged by another class. All the hard work you put into your beautiful toon - chain casting low level spells to max casting skills, making it raise the appropriate factions, making sure you play twice as well and being more socially pleasant so you don't get excluded from groups from the exp penalty you bring. All of it has one simple result: your toon's body is more enjoyable for the real classes that will eventually gear every hole.

Raised the perfect ranger? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random warrior who had nothing to do with the way you leveled up. He gets to loot tight pixels every night. He gets the benefits of your sweet personality when you say you don't mind every other class gets loot.

As a man who has a ranger, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 200 hours of your life taking death touches to get gear for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.

Ranger is top tier puller in the karana/big outdoor leveling game

Can spam flame lick on snared mobs like druid to aggro kite

I'm trying to figure out what the hell this thread is all about.....

Is this fanporn?
A diatribe against Rangers?
Subtle reverse psychology to get us to roll Rangers?

I'm so confused.

I don't know if I should reconsider my ranger main ruby drow dream or roll ogre shaman 32849935

[Cen]

Though im still debating a halfling druid or cleric too ;D im sure on friday ill freak out

[Kanuvan]

Luckily that is the neckbeard attitude very few people actually have and they will just enjoy their main because it's nostalgic for them, i won't care at all if there's a hybrid in my group

[Maelstrom]

I just want to nab a guise for my ranger, then I'll switch up to druid or something.

[solleks]

sort of yea but slangin arrows is cool. just a shame no halfers

[Gustoo]

Gross post brings me back to good old days of yesterday when I read a gross post.

Rangers are best class in game. Spirit of wolf. Snare. Shoot some arrows. Track.

Back in the day our static group had a ranger tank. Honestly, we did just fine.

[FatherSioux]

Rangers are a great class.

Rangers are fine pre-Kunark. Same defense skill as knights, higher dodge/parry, okay DPS (or really good if you get Mistwalker), and by far the best arsenal of utility spells amongst hybrids. Lustrous Russet puts you on equal footing with any other tank save for a slightly smaller HP pool, and aside from that set, almost all endgame gear is class-specific so it's not like you're never gonna get gear.

Then Kunark hits and your skillcaps turn to shit, granted.

Well not just any shadow knight. TROLL shadow knights though...

Ohhhh! Okay. Thanks for the clarification. Now it makes sense!

I never had an issue as Ranger main, /shrug.
Ivy etched, SSoM + Orc Impaler, self-buffs, tracking, etc. Did just fine. Even utilized PGT, Ebony Bladed Sword, EBWs, and some other classic weapons until I finally hit the planes and upgraded to a Flux axe (god, now THOSE were some fun procs).

Good times.

Yeah a well planned Ranger, just like any class that is planned , will do well!

I plan on going heavy into tradeskills like Blacksmithing and tailoring to keep myself geared early game till I can find better stuff and make money with handmade backpacks too.

This should be a sticky for all the people asking what class they should play at launch.

Not until Kithichor revamp I guess? When plane of fear invades it?

Yep, that's what banded and blackened iron is for.
Those were my stepping stones back in the day. Combine weapon was my first magical weapon.
