About Rangers at 50 or 60

[Cribanox]

So Im going to be 50 this week and im trying to decide on an alt to work on twinking. Im basically between a monk and a ranger.

I played a 60 monk on live, so ive been there done that, but a melee class with swords has always caught my interest.

Rangers really dont look that bad as a damage class. I mean, they get to quad (duel wield and double attack), so they have that in common with a monk. Monks get flying kick, but rangers do get some decent DDs (300-400?) and a ton of utility (sow snare thorns root invs etc).

Im not sure what era monks get a higgen chance for triple attack though.

I dont get why I wouldnt want to roll a ranger. During raids there wont be many more of them to fight with over loot, and I think Id generally like the class.

Anything im missing as to why rangers are hated on so much?
