Making a Ranger.. (I know right?)

[chiefrocka]

Hey all..

So I've been messing around on the server for a few weeks but haven't really committed to any particular character. I always wanted a Ranger on live during the Kunark/Velious era so I figured I should take this opportunity to do that. Just a few general questions about the least played class..

1) Which Race is optimal for a min/max Ranger? (lol..?)

2) What are some cheaper Ranger weapons and gear I should aim for just starting out?

3) Are Rangers able to get more groups in Velious than they do in Kunark?

4) Am I making a huge mistake?
