Just asking out of curiosity.
I remember 46-54 being tough. Struggled to facetank sonic bats, even though far worse equipped 51 war and monk each did them with ease. 51 did seem a little less bad than 46-50, as if there was a step up in worn AC cap or something (or maybe a good mitigation spell gets added?), but the lack of defence skill ups started to show again 52-54. On blue rangers now get slightly higher skill caps for some defensive stuff, which might help out any non-green new rangers during their 50s. | ||

And Relying on procs is annoying unless you’re rocking like 200+ dex. Sure there’s Swarmcaller proc but the ratio is terrible and how much damage did you just take trying to get that to proc? I’m even thinking of mobs like hhk nobles which are pretty easy for their level but yet rangers still get beat hard by them and have few ways to mitigate downtime. I have all 3 hybrids, have geared them to the teeth. And every knight, monk, bard, and war outperforms them and if you want to be a solo artist you will be disappointed when you hit 50. I’m not saying rangers aren’t a cool class and they can solo, they’re just not efficient at it. | |||

Offhand epic pretty easy. It's one raid that double drops the item, so easy to persuade guilds to help in exchange for tracking/whatever.
Lots of rangers use swarmcaller pre-primary epic for slow (I never found it worth it). It's important to maintain the AC buffs, these are a huge part of ranger mitigation. | ||

All hybrids are elite.
SK - FD, HT = win PAL - Heals, Rez, CC = win RNG - Bow, Track = win I think they're the best classes in the game. Raid preference be damned. | ||

I lost track which server the OP is on. If green then life is tough. Very tough. No fear and a 40% hybrid penalty...
If blue ranger grinding is easy. You can hit 50 in OT or low 50’s in Emerald Jungle. I went from mid 30’s to 49 in WL on Tigeraptors. 49-54 bow rotting in Grobb holding down 5 spawns in 24 mins before repops. Up to 58 in HK off Dyrna. After that my grind to 60 solo went from “weeks” to “months” but I was in no rush. At 58 I had a woodsman staff and cloak of crystalline waters, no fungi yet. Nuking between swings in Dyrna and hoping for the best. If not her, pick low Hp mobs that don’t cast and root joust or bow plunk. This is the era of YouTube and windowed EQ. If you aren’t a masochist find a duo partner and it would be way better. A knight solo to 60 is way easier. Groups are easier to find as well. | ||
