I believe that skill is much more important than class, as a skilled player can make any class work. A top player will play any class well, but also you aren't going to pick a class that limits your targets.

That being said I felt ranger had overly weak melee damage (2x instead of 4x dmg 2hander, epic 1h's being mediocre for pvp), utility that was readily available through items, sow/levitate/damage shield, low hp values, no oh shit abilities. Not saying a good player can't put superior track and slightly higher bow dps to work, but to me the tradeoff wasn't worth it. Being most classic zones are small the potential for long bow kites is not as high as in kunark or velious.

Fair assessment of rangers, there was a guy who played ranger from Day 1 and did alright. Most of the bow kites were going in Misty (during the Vale ticket boom) and then East Commons during the GM event status of the zone.

There was also South Karana pvp at whip camp. Whip was actually a pvp boon because it gave you another interesting venue to check for pvp. Assuming the shitter didn't just run into paw and plug.

But Zek was pretty good about people coming to fight. Plugs were uncommon. Most of R99 was playing under fake/stolen names I remember us thinking that was cute. It decreased the plug factor so I fully support you guys all rerolling under fresh names again and denying who you are and pretending to be other people.
