Outside of tracking then, what value does a Ranger bring to a raid situation if their DPS is only middle of the road?
Ranger is one of my favorite classes and I plan to reroll one eventually. They get Dual Wield, Double Attack and Kick, and two okay DoT's late game as well (Drones of Doom and Immolate), and the fact that their DPS can match a Monk's is surprising to me, but they still fall short of a Warrior, a class that's seemingly meant more for Tanking than it is for damage output.
Does a Rangers Kick eventually get the ability to stun and interrupt spells like a Warriors?

The first AoW on server was lost because there was no ranger on the raid to CoTP or SoN. Attack is the ultimate dps buff (except haste) here on P99 and they are the attack buffers. Also, weaponshield is fantastic on raids. If the warrior dies a ranger can easily out aggro everyone, click weaponshield, and tank while the CH chain gets set up on a new warrior. There is also content like CT in the plane of fear and a good ranger can update the raid with how many mobs are left in the zone. This comes into play when competing against other guilds to know when to pull the god before they do.
Rangers cannot kick stun.
