And there's no way a ranger would be = to a rogue even in velious. That's a shitty rogue the ranger is being compared to if it ever happened.

Even the best rangers will be no where near the top of raid dps. At best, they will always be behind rogues, monks, and even good wizards.

That being said, I have nothing against rangers, they are just a mediocre class at best. I really don't think its possible to argue against this.
Ok 1st By rangers are not 2nd rate dps I mean the dmg differance between them and a monk or a rogue due to the nature of eq fights is so little that they are all considered dps.

2nd on P1999 rangers will easly be = to rogues in velious because of the nature of patching and removing of items.

In Velious the BFG was put in game. This is a BOW that is usable as a main hand weapon. This allowed a ranger with the weapon to gain a few things that also were given in SOV. Crits on main hand atks, Double dmg on non moving targets, Trueshot doubleing dmg yet again. This item was also effected by Quiver haste. Add those 3 things togeather and you will have rangers mainhanding massive dmg. In SOL it was sick to see a AM3 ranger with BFG. However BFG was very very rare and some of you may have never seen a ranger with one.
