In the low 50s - 60 Soloed KC smoothly on the ranger.

So did my warrior. And paladin. And monk. And shaman! Its funny how that works with a fungi.
The bard didnt have or need a fungi and did it faster (without aoe dotting).

In regards to rangers DPS.. Expect ... dps that is below rogues. Monks ... score higher ... I parse and out dps the "lazy/bad" rogues [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ... |
Fixed that for you. Dont oversell yourself.
Monks WILL score higher. The only exception is the NToV geared ranger vs the same tier monk that hasnt yet scored the BiS monk ratio weapons off tunare etc. At most all levels of gameplay with the exception of a very narrow window in the upper (but not absolute BiS) tier of content, monks have flatly superior ratio weapons available to them. This starts with epic/kunark/planes and continues straight through to the end of the game content on p99. The only real exception is BFG trueshot burn and a ton of arrows.
Monk BiS (primary and offhand) ratio = 0.83
Ranger BiS caps out in the high 0.7s for both mainhand and offhand.
Next and final patch monks get triple attack at 60 and improved dmg tables at 55/60.

Both classes are useful in their own ways. Bards sing songs and play music.
Rangers win raids.

Drink that koolaid!
Neither of these classes wins raids on p99. Raids on this server are won by pull teams, clerics, and tanks with honorable mention going to the actual dps classes (ie neither bard nor ranger).
end of Alleriah reply
Both classes have their place in this game and there is only marginal overlap in terms of what the average raid or group might ask of each respectively. Bards are generally actively sought out for cc/mana_regen/haste/support. Rangers are generally sought out for dps/other. Situationally either may be sought for pulling/tanking/other.
Neither class fits into the ideal min/max that some (not all) on this server aspire to get but both are worth having around.

Given the current state of velious, with the upcoming patch that both classes are getting benefits from which would you recommend?

Next patch both get tankier. Both get a dmg output boost.
It doesnt matter what anyone recommends because bards/rangers are classes with fundamentally different roles/expectations.
What matters is what you want to do.
Theyre both strong classes but in different ways.
