Your only job as a SK or pally is to pull and cast lvl 9 spells.

A ranger can get a 31/35 staff for the same price as a monk’s 38/40 but the monk will do WAY more damage. A rogue can get a MQ epic for 35k.

If DPS classes are judged on numbers alone the ranger has the deck stacked against it. This coming from someone who objectively loves the class.

Edit: I mainly tried to do as the Op requested “tell me why not to play one”.
There are MANY reasons to play one. Probably more than than arguments not to. Just have fun and play the game, track down rare spawns and root/snare a few mobs. A lazy ranger in a group is a bad one...if you aren’t lazy you can turn heads.
