How viable are rangers in Velious??

[kaev]

Rangers are fine, p99wannabeminmaxerfashionistas not so much.

Out of every 100 p99ers who dis rangers (and paladins and shadowknights), there's one really good player with a bad attitude and 99 anxious twits who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

rangers should dual wield with slow weapons. 2h is for scrubs and int casters without good gear.

Rangers have always been viable. They are just better now with some cool buffs and great gear.

Man you guys rock for taking the time out to post your thoughts and opinions. Haha I think it would be pretty neat to roll a char that not many other people use. Rangers seem fun. Def a class you have to be engaged with. We'll see guys haha! Food for thought anyways.

Problem with rangers is they're basically druids with below average melee prowess. And druids are basically bad clerics/wizards. So you're a halfbreed of a class that's already a halfbreed. Only thing ranger does the best is Track, and I guess CoP buffbot.

Story of hybrids. Until AAs came along, they had no real purpose. Live with it!

Not sure who told you ranger was a subpar melee, but they were wrong - probably didn't understand what weapons to use in main/off either. I'd really like to parse against some of your monks.
