Serious question.

I never had the experience to play a ranger on live at all. I have been tempted to roll a ranger on this server and I have a few questions.

1. How do they stack up against other DPS?

2. I know they are aggro hogs and can die frequently but do their numbers meet the merit of pulling it so much?

3. Other than tracking/pulling in outdoor zones what does a ranger provide to a group that other classes might fill better?

4. Does life get better for a ranger when Velious hits, or does it stay about the same?
1. there dps sucks comparatively unless you have proc'ing dagger from VP and HS.

2. No the numbers dont merit it, only cast snare at under 30% and you should be ok on agro

3. They can sow, so basically any other calss that can sow will out benefit them in a group setting.

4. Yes life gets much better for them in Velious they get new spells including Spirit of the Eagle (sow/lev in one) Call of Earth an AC buff, Call of the predator an awesome group attack buff and they also get Jolt an agro decease spell to help with their snare/proc agros

and they lose the Hybrid exp penalty !
