Plenty of warriors historically were archers. Eq lore is they are masters of all weapon types.

Class icon doesn’t mean main dps option either.

Are we really arguing warrior should dps through bash and paladins through headbutt?

The plate helm with angelic wings and holy book would indicate a righteous knight.

The sword and shield would indicate a gladiator.

The dagger would indicate backstabber.

The bow, arrow and quiver graphic would indicate what? In Jimjam's world, a ballerina.

The Ranger text on the character creation screen talks about deadly ranged attacks and how the Ranger's bow is a welcome addition to a group adding a good deal of damage. It also mentions how Rangers can hunt solo.
