You cherry picked the 1 target where clean tank swaps are the most important of a successful kill (outside of having enough clerics).
Not saying ranger speedbumps aren't important to have - they are, but for that same AoW would you rather have 5 rangers and 1 druid (prob cant charm due to potg requests) or 5 druids w/ snared wolf pets and 1 ranger (just get the poor bastard some twitches before the pull and he can full buff the entire raid).
Just playin devil's advocate here. Obviously in the real world you're gonna have tons of rangers and druids because people refuse to log on cleric bots in 2023.

Cherry picking is the point of EQ, lol.
Bumps are good non-stall, stalls though. Lose a couple rangers on a rooted dragon you buy 40 seconds for the real engage team. A ranger can also peel off a flurry and tank it without heals. Or help with a preslow on certain targets.
In my experience the more extensive a classes skill/spell kit the more varied the results. A good rogue does amazing damage, a bad one does less but still competes. Whether lack of gear or just not positioning quickly. Rangers, druids, bards, necros, enchanters and so on…can be inspiring or horrible. I’ve seen AoW’s with an excess of SK’s and druids. The wolves spent more time attacking players than the AoW. The SK’s were having issues peeling and helping the druids.
In that specific AoW we killed it but needed a second shot. I bumped the first time and was just a melee the second. I did like 14k damage and died at 20% which still wasn’t bad for swinging normal ToV weaps.
