There's a reason rangers got huge buffs in luclin and PoP, finally boosting their archery. Because up til then they are bad warriors or bad rogues. WS sure ! might as well have that player level a warrior and use a riposte discipline or defense and live just as long if not longer no ?
If you're arguing a BIS ranger can do this or that, what about him being a different class with BIS stuff ? couldn't he be a monk and do the same ?

A ranger can build build aggro quicker with flame lick than almost any other class and their parry disc lasts 2.5 times longer than a warrior or monk. Having a 60 warrior blow their disc CD for 9 seconds of riposte is stupid. Monks frequently bump but it’s easier with rooted targets since they just have to be in range. Anything that moves will chase aggro rank so they would need to dump an entire scepter of the forlorn into the target (equiv to a couple flamelicks).
My argument is a 60 ranger with no gear at all can bump better than any other class every 72 minutes. If you never lose a MT that’s great, you don’t need a bump. A ranger still provides a lot of attack power to a raid. Some would argue you only need one ranger to get this benefit but often with a large guild even one 60 ranger in attendance is a coin flip.
Plus this whole thread assumes someone only had one class they main. It’s not 1999 anymore. I play a ranger for when it’s in the area or can provide a real benefit. When not, I play one of my other four 60’s or a raid bot.
