Ranger- Am I a glutton for punishment?

[Itching]

Sounds like a challenge. I did play a Dwarf Paladin on live, xp penalty and all. I am used to having someone do my job better but I would rather have more fun using utilities being able to save a group.

I love this idea, when you two have full planar armor. Oh man so cool.

A ranger in full green plate, and a rogue in full black plate, oh man just so cool.

One of my personal favorite things about classic EQ is non plate classes wearing plate... Like a 30-46 druid wearing black plate pants, brown breastplate and a pair of golden boots... so cool to me.

I dont know why, but it is.

I too would also like to express my appreciation for that particular duo.

1. there dps sucks comparatively unless you have proc'ing dagger from VP and HS.

2. No the numbers dont merit it, only cast snare at under 30% and you should be ok on agro

3. They can sow, so basically any other calss that can sow will out benefit them in a group setting.

4. Yes life gets much better for them in Velious they get new spells including Spirit of the Eagle (sow/lev in one) Call of Earth an AC buff, Call of the predator an awesome group attack buff and they also get Jolt an agro decease spell to help with their snare/proc agros

and they lose the Hybrid exp penalty !

Wish we got SoE /sigh. Rangers are a acquired taste. If your decent at EQ and learn to play a ranger right they are valuable now and even more come velious. Weaponshield and trueshot are nice little combat abilities we get as well as most the spells mentioned by jayN.

Much respect for Thulack, much respect for bongs.

[Joyelle]

Wut? Bongs has a ranger alt?

[Itching]

Does the armor limitation (med only) for Half Elf make them not as viable to play? Or does that not matter as much for twinking/kunark/velious gear?

[iruinedyourday]

hard to believe bongs would even be able to have an alt, considering how much time he spends in that one corner of EC trying to fish an entire zone away from any water at all.
