Rolling on p99 blue. Ranger of Rogue?

If you are planning on being solo post 50, you should probably roll a caster. In velious you'll be grouped, just like any melee. You can get to 60 with panic animal, though you'll be staring at a lot of animal butts for a long time. Archery remains useless for soloing in Velious, sadly.

Turn up in any of the "well trodden" zones during peak time - Unrest, MM, Highkeep, Sol B etc as a rogue and you'll be loved forever.

Rangers are awesome, but their downfall comes with the Nazi "omg hybrid elf slowing my xp" crew who will refuse to have you in the group. If you can handle some LFG time while watching something on YouTube/Netflix/etc then you'll be fine there too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So many rogues on the server... not as many rangers.
Tough call.

Rogue epic is pretty easy. Easy to get a group as a rogue. Hide/Sneak/Picklock/Pickpocket all very useful. Hard to start up as a new char/non-twink though. Planar gear requires more effort.

Ranger epic little harder, EXP penalty, Can solo fairly well till 50~, Track is pretty useful, Forge your own food. Easier to start up as a new char. Planar gear is probably easier to get.

Gear for both is pretty cheap. Ranger probably has a easier time getting plat early.

Honestly, I wouldn't play either class, but Ranger seems more "interactive and fun"
