Question What's the point of playing Ranger?

Isn't a Ranger just a Druid with much weaker spells, no ports, no charm and no quad kiting?

The first AoW was lost, because the raid did not have call of the predator.

So the Ranger class is for the player who wants to be on a catwalk, and has more fun being weak than strong? Or the player who does one good thing on a raid for the 1% once in a blue moon.

And the Druid class is for the player who wants to heal, charm, port and quad kite?

Raid speedbumps are a critical role that happen every single week for the very largest targets.

What does the Ranger bring to the table L1 through to L60 that a Druid doesn't?

Ranger: "What is my purpose?"

Rick Sanchez: "You take DTs."

Ranger: "Oh god..."

Rick Sanchez: "Yeah, join the club."

Ironically druids actually get powerful at 60 when they get potg. Until then I'd almost always want a ranger in my group.
