I don't recall.
Rangers actually turn in to a halfway decent DPS, right?
What I do remember is Rangers becoming AWESOME in PoP, but I don't remember if Velious had that much of an impact for their end game raiding.
On live, in PoP, I made a Ranger alt and had a blast. (Still I used him only for tracking, lol)

Rangers are already halfway decent DPS, that isn't really their problem. But yes their dps and tankability are modestly improved in Velious.
Most people who roll knights in Velious are going to play them until about 45 or 50 and then stop, just like most people who rolled knights in Kunark. Knights have always really deterred people once they get past the twinkage and learn their place in the world, watch monks and warrs run circles around them, etc. Penalty didn't help but I think that was only part of it. Can be hard to find groups when any given group only has a maximum of one spot for your role, and it can be filled by warriors, monks, rangers, and other knights.
FOTM is still gonna be monks and shamans, because those are very fun, very powerful classes. And honestly, I'm pretty sure monks get as much or more improvement in Velious than rangers or knights do (due to triple attack and itemization changes), which is disgusting.
