Hardest part of a ranger is getting through the 40 to low/mid 50's slump that most melee's suffer.

Your duoing options are pretty unlimited though between aggro or fear kiting or tanking with a priest class.
I kited a whole bunch of (rabid) griffons in North Karana and Sabertooth Tigers in Overthere… This was back when it was a very popular bard kite spot. Apparently bards preferred not to kill tigers so there were often plenty up!

Can you elaborate on this? Never heard of such a thing and can't find anything via Google or wiki

I'm guessing the person was being sarcastic. Mistmoore isn't a great farming zone, and spending 35k+ on an item just to farm 200p an hour isn't exactly a selling point.

Lmfao Alleriah is a die hard ranger defender.


The truth is, 1-30 they are the worst melee class. my troll sk with 40k worth of gear did just as good as my 200k ranger twink...prolly better 1-30. Their DPS sucks, they are tanky as a rogue.. maybe even less? Just overall bad.

30-55 Meh. You have capabilities. Rangers make awesome tanks between these levels. Flame lick = insta agro. You can sow yourself. Tracking is cool. So is bow kiting, although entirely inefficient.

55-59 I can only imagine this shit is terrible. Nobody wants you in group. Soloing is slow. Wack.

60 Rangers.... let's put it this way. Under the current ToV meta, it's much better for your raid to have 15 rangers / 5 monks VS 15 monks / 5 rangers. Snap agro ability and weaponshield is so hot right now.

Above all that, Rangers are undoubtedly fun to play.... except when you're getting pwned by blue orcs at level 15.

my 2c =)

Rule of diminishing returns on those twinks Twochain.

Rogues and rangers aren't really any worse at tanking than the other melee until 40. There's not much difference in skill caps and AC is trivial to functionally cap.

45-59 on my ranger were the worst of days. Still prefer Ranger over nearly every class.

No doubt, 50-59 were horrible. Especially during the hybrid penalty era.

20-45? What a blast! I did it with minimal twink work and enjoyed it much more than my rogue (1st melee) or monk (heavy twink) in the same era.
