Here's how you fix Rangers in EverQuest

Ballsack cape for all rangers not just woodelfs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Isn’t Cek sword like 3rd bis for knights behind tunare and vulak? Love it in my ranger I don’t see that as bad itemization.

Charm. Animals.

And hide/sneak like rogues (just lower %whatever).

Why being so mean with rangers?

Is it still possible to have a chance to play a bullshit class in this game or do we all have to become Enchanters? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nerfing enchanter and shamans torpor is the only way to fix everything.

I knew I forgot something.

- Increase Ranger bind wound skill

give ranger torp 🤯

If you need that many things to fix rangers, then I have a better and more simple solution for you:

- Delete your ranger, roll a useful class

Good idea, and some mana regen.

Class is basically fine once it gets its defence skill bump late Velious.

My only spell change would be to add Cure Disease. I wonder if the omission of this spell was an oversight or design decision? Is it in reference to Aragorn being unable to heal the affliction put on Frodo by the Nazghul's Mordor blade?

Itemisation I'd want to add ranger to Chestplate of Vindication (but I see why they are omitted - they aren't really a class associated with giants nor plate... Shaman just get in by the skin of their teeth).


I just watched LOTR FOTR again, so I will also say add double attack to archery, but I don't think it is needed. Some kind of pet would be nice to have (maybe befriend animal). Thinking about it, maybe this is what the double damage vs stationary bonus represents?

Best fix for ranger:

Give War, Pal, SK proper bash agro (bugfix). Then give them double bash at lvl 40. Up bashing dmg slightly and raise skillcaps. Give cleric regular bash at 40.

How will this help rangers you say? Well, they won't die as much!
