Hey folks =)

I've been on P99 going on like a year and a half. I've gotten a mage to 57 and like the class for its farming ability but not much else.

I made a rogue at some point and got him to 22 and the stopped playing him, determined to only play classes I never did on live back in the 99' era. I made a ranger and have been playing him for a pretty good while, getting much of his 52 levels before the hybrid exp penalty patch went away. My playtime availability is tapering off more and more lately so I've not had a ton of time to sit LFG on him so I've started debating dropping the ranger altogether and picking the rogue back up, who is now lvl 28. The rogue gets groups far quicker and I feel like I'm contributing more to a group. I really enjoy the ranger but at 52 his role as a "maybe tank" is falling to the wayside and his dps doesn't feel like it's making up for it.

I guess my question is with no AA'a to improve the class and bring archery into the scene, is the ranger as a class a dead end on p99? It's enjoyable but the higher levels seem really flooded with rangers and dedicated dps classes seem more scarce and I've seen groups actually flounder because of it.

My ranger is pretty well geared with Tolans bracer, helm arms, Tigerraptor stuff, Woodsman's Frostbringer, Club of the Ice Ocean, Fungi etc....I'm just wondering with my limited playtime if selling his ranger specific stuff and transferring over stuff that is rogue friendly and working the rogue up knowing he'll be able to group constantly rather than situationally.

What do ya all think? I love both classes....I love the utility of the ranger, but at the same time those crunchy backstabs are so glorious lol.
