I say go for it on a Ranger. Try to be the best damn Ranger here on P1999, and play it like you stole it. It will make you happy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] They are a great class in Velious era. | |||

Very enjoyable class to play. All the tools make it fun just about anywhere as long as you learn to use them. Rockstar at pulling in outdoor zones.
Until hybrid patch hits, you may still find some groups that don't want your XP penalty. After the patch, you'll probably still run into the occasional leetist who feels it's less optimal than monk/rogue for a DPS role... but who wants to group with those guys anyway? As others have mentioned Call of the Predator gives them a unique role in raids that, while limited, means you do want a few rangers on any raid force. The long range tracking and weaponshield can be situationally useful too.

I've never shunned a ranger from my group. As long as we have a healer and any other necessary roles, I'll gladly fill an empty slot with ranger. Like most classes, good rangers can be very effective. As someone above said, I'd gladly take a ranger that knows how to pull over a lazy monk. There is a lot of hyperbole about rangers and min/max on the forums, but in-game is often a different story.
The best groups that I've ever played in are the ones that didn't have the standard group comp. Playing with others who maximize their toolbox make for the most fun groups. | ||

The wonder of rangers is the versatility. You can tank if needed, dps, pull, ghetto-CC (root, let the others save their mana), snare, supplement buffs, etc. If you have a fully optimized team comp, you are going to shine much less (this is mostly fixed in Luclin, but sadly we won't see that on this server), but in any other group you do a great job of filling in where the rest of the party can't or would be better off not doing.

Their tracking is great and they have nice mix of utility spells, but mostly at a late lvl. Fun class for farming green mobs and light blues, but mostly they are just frustrating. IF you have some close friends to grp with they can smooth over the many cracks in the class. most useful for farming tradeskill drops.
