When I get the time, I'll play an untwinked ranger, farm mad cash from the newbie zone, buy some sick dps gear from EC, and write a 1-30 guide about it.

At 30 your ranger is a) pulling with harmony like a god in Mistmoore or Unrest b) doing very solid damage for his level with his 16/24 100p silver swiftblade c) tanking just fine against L25 mobs that die in 20 seconds to his overgeared group.

At 55 your ranger a) can't use harmony in any major dungeon b) does way less damage than all the epic monks/rogues c) can't tank at all with low defense/hp/AC.

The only differences between a good solo class and a good small group classes are a) the kiting classes take a hit and b) the pure melee get better with a healer.
