We made it no problem. Only a pally would have been able to pull off a similar feat and live (or maybe a good necro).

A ranger with clarity can put out near monk DPS, snap aggro, root CC, cast regrowth, tank well enough for almost all group content, pull outdoors, etc. This bs about rangers sucking in groups is well, bs.
Seriously now, you people all need to solo a Paladin (or for the true masochist, a Warrior) at 40+ before announcing that class Xxx sucks at solo. Not being a demi-god solo (Enchanter, Necro, Druid) is not the same as sucks at solo. There are classes that define sucks at solo, and Ranger is not one of them.

But I agree, a well-played Ranger is great to have in a group.
