Ranger or Monk?

[koros]

Lol no it's not.

The only thing difficult about classic EQ was putting in the time. There is no such thing as a hard class to play, just different amounts of your free time getting consumed. Either way, you press 3 buttons and hope the random number generator is feeling benevolent today.

Rocket surgery, amirite

But only one class in classic has no unique role whatsoever, and it is one of your options. And it isn't the monk.

Lol here is a guy that doesnt know how to Play a Monk.

A Monk well played can PULL whatever, or about whatever, same as can drag whatever from wherever, like from example, kING camp Cr in sebilis, trust me, a good Monk makes diff.

Might be easier to get some ranger drops in planes due to less competition, and rangers get some nice sky items.

This right here. Always thought rangers got some of the best Sky quest items. That cloak is (relatively) easy to get and awesome.

Playing any character really well takes some doing. But, its more noticeable with some classes. In my opinion, Rangers are 'harder' in two senses :
1. The exp penalty and lack of groups make it difficult to keep going. When you see a ranger > 55 you know that person has some toughness and resourcefulness. Or masochism, take your pick.
2. Rangers don't have a standard role in groups, or a particular unique mechanic like FD. You can be very noticeably good, but you really have to know the class and use ALL of its capabilities in creative ways.

Yendor doesn't snare diligently?

If "diligently" means re-snaring when the mob starts running because the group's bard overwrote my snare with their stupid 18-second snare song and we took longer than 18 seconds to kill it because they added me instead of a rogue or monk.... then, no.

This made me feel so bad for rangers. I should try to group with one tonight.

[mtb tripper]

id go ranger specifically for the uniqueness

I would wait till Velious comes out to roll a Ranger. Without the STUPID XP penalty and with fear animal they will be easy to level.

There is NOT going to be that many level 50 thru 60 areas for people to fight or level in at the start. TMO, FE, BDA with have them tied up for 6 months or more.

So, why not get one at say level 25 or 30 and start there. A hell of a lot more zones to play in.

Im talking about playing the character, not about winning exp, by the way, Human Monk 20% exp penalti, iksar Monk 44%....
