Newp. Scales up to 60-pt DD proc at lvl 50, no aggro (just instruct your tank to be the closest to the mob at all times.) Even helps warriors retain aggro. It's like EQ on EZ mode.
Yeah I love being in a group that only has root for CC and being unnecessarily beat on by two or more mobs because the ranger unintentionally rooted the current target right to where someone else rooted an add. Or not being able to reposition a mob or otherwise extract myself from its pelvis without someone's pet or rogue getting beaten on. It's like EQ on EZ mode. [You must be logged in to view images.

Some might appreciate the "help", I just think they're a pain in the ass in many situations.

True story, I was in Upper Guk with my War, I put on LFG tag and I get the group right away, but I have to wait 10 minutes ( I was replacement, monk was tanking ).

One Ranger around my lvl was LFG, so we chatted a bit because he was decked out. I didn't inspect him but when I saw 2 yaks, there wasn't anything else to inspect.

He told me he had been killing spiders for the past 2 hours and no spot for him. Other classes that came after, already got group.

I felt so bad for the guy, and he logged out right in front of me when I have to bounce to join my group.

Mistake #1: Someone else besides the ranger rootparking if root is your only CC. Let the ranger handle it (unless he bought his toon off Bob and twinked it out.)

The other classes that can root have better uses for their mana. Unless the entire group has a super intense need for Feet Like Cat, or I'm harmony pulling (in which case if I do get adds somehow, I'm rootparking them on the way in), I've probably got a full mana bar or close to it.

I apologize for your experience with lousy rangers, but there's quite a few here that can play their class and adapt as needed to the group's needs.

With or without your arch-nemesis, the EBS.

Besides, I can always swap them out for...

Yeah I know/mentioned this. Thanks!

Maybe you're reading too much into it because you've seen too much of the ranger bashing and impotent fagrage that pours out of so many of our fellow forumgoers. I'm actually not trash talking the EBS or rangers in general. I'm aware of the sword's situational utility. If you take it personally that others are not then I dunno what to tell you :[
